I have been so blessed to be acquainted with such wonderful individuals while attending BYU. I lived in room 108 of the Regency Apartment Complex just south of campus. I may be biased but this room proved to be the best of all Regency. I lived with five other wonderful girls: Rachel, Krista, Elise, Brenda, and Katrina. I shared a room with my twin sister Rachel whom I love ( If you dont have the privilege of knowing her, I wrote about her in my description of my family). We previously lived with Elise and Krista our Freshmen year. We liked them so much we wanted to live with them again. We all were delighted to be assigned to live with Brenda. She is wonderful and we couldn't have asked for a better roommate to add to our nucleus of four. As for our sixth roommate, she is currently engaged and soon to be married so we didn't see much of her but Katrina was very nice for the brief moments we saw her.
Krista. She is one of a kind. If there is a mediator in our apartment it is her. She has the amazing ability to relate and get along with anyone. She is spunky and fun. Talk about speed. She is fast at any task she is presented with. However, her most apparent speed ability is running. She runs anywhere and everywhere. She recently ran her first marathon. She ran such a great time she qualified for the Boston. Though if you ask her she will humbly say she likes to run but we all know better. Kris lives every day to the fullest. I am constantly amazed by her energy and desire to become the best she can be. I love her.
Elise. She is beautiful there is not doubt about it. She has porcelain skin and gorgeous auburn hair. She also knows how to do the best eye makeup I have ever seen. She is tender and knows how to comfort those in need. She is truly a nurturer and will become a wonderful mother. One unique quality about Elise is her passion for wildlife and nature. She thoroughly enjoys animals of any kind. Last year she bought cat food to feed the stray cats on campus (haha we love her). Elise is kind-hearted and truly strives to do what the Lord would have her do. I look up to her for her ability to be so grounded and independent. I love her!
The Many Faces of Brenda. Brenda is a wonderful contribution to Regency 108. We absolutely adore beautiful Brenda. She loves cats and her missionary Ryan. She is a Lord of the Rings guru. Brenda is simply the most expressive person I know. She can speak solely through the use of her eyebrows. She also has a fun, quirky sense of humor we cannot get enough of. However, one thing about Brenda is that she refuses to be in pictures. We have tried the sneak attack approach but nothin. The few rare moments she smiles...it is truly priceless!
Harry Potter Midnight Showing!
St. George Road Trip!!!
The Lamb Room. A nice couple let us stay at their house while we enjoyed St. George. We were all lucky enough to sleep in this room covered with every stuffed toy lamb ever made. Bonding!
Oh what happens when we get lost in Zions National Park...we stop to take a picture by a sweet looking, pumpkin covered truck.
A little Angels Landing.
We got a little tired by the end.
On the way to St. George Daniel Wade taught us how to "chip surf." Ya girl!
There is no story. I just love this picture thats all.
Triathlon baby! First, Second, and Third-"The Terrible Trio"
Our apartment's walls were oh so bare and uninviting... so we brought out the markers.
Hot Springs. Reminder: never wear flip flops to venture a rocky hike.
Smile! I love Brenda and her beautiful pink shades.
HAHAHA Krista's little ball of joy.
Curl till you Hurl. I was never the beautician.
Good Morning Gill. I said GOOD MORNING GILL off to school.
BYU FOOTBALL GAMES!
This is what we spend most of our time doing into the wee hours of the morning...looking at each other and laughing. This is one of my favorite hobbies and I will miss these pure moments with my beautiful, hysterical roommates. 
Meet Tristram Jones!
Meet Daniel Wade Jones. 
The Jones'.
This semster could not be complete without including Tris and Dan Jones. There is not a better picture to summarize how fond I am of these two boys. Witty, hysterical, charming, and did I say HYSTERICAL. These two boys have really taught me the importance of living every day to the fullest and finding joy in life. Random St. George road trip, skinny jean shopping, 80s rock band, donut runs/smuggle into the library, glowstick dance, triathlon, halloween half marathon, and most importantly doing absolutely nothing but laughing are some of our many adventures during these past few months. I adore them in every sense of the word.
