Bananas, Birthdays, los Bailes, and BYU

So...the beginning of a new school year. A time for reflection upon last year and resolution to have an even better year this year. So far, my ward seems really cool, and I've already made several new friends. But let's not get ahead of ourselves...let's start with the basics. First off, introductions.

Here are my roommates, whom I love!
Lanae and Loni, whom you already know:

Kirra, from Idaho:

Nicole and Alyse from Ohio! (We threw Alyse a surprise Bday party!)

And last, but certainly not least,
is Pierre Jean-Claude, our fish:

So what have we been doing, you might ask?
Well for starters, we've painted our living room:

We've attempted to decorate our rooms:

We've been socializing (a lot) with the locals:

And walking around looking like we're from the wrong decade:

Yep, we've definitely been busy around here. But life is good! Until next time!
