I have never been very good at making friends. I always feel awkward and say the wrong thing, and then privately obsess over my awkwardness and lack of social skills. But by some miracle, I was blessed to find these truly amazing friends while starting my freshman year at BYU ten years ago (yes, I do feel old when I say that). We were all lucky enough to live in the same hallway at Deseret Towers.
I can easily say that freshman year with these girls was one of the most fun years of my life! I could go into greater detail, but most of our stories are incriminating to one or several of us, and I'm not looking to embarrass, or get anyone in trouble with the law!
So we decided to celebrate our 10-year anniversary in a big way. We left behind our jobs, children, and husbands and headed to Costa Rica for five days!

The trip was AMAZING! We zip-lined over the rain forest, snorkeled off the coast of Tortuga Island, and hiked to white sandy beaches, where we soaked up the sun and sea. But by far, the best part of the trip was just lounging around with these awesome chicks, laughing hysterically about our college years, and catching up on the new happenings in our lives! It really does my heart good to know that we can still get together and it feels like no time has passed at all! Thanks for all the fun girls, I can't wait to do it again!

holy crap we looked so young! Glad to see in 10 yrs I've consistently gained and lost the freshman 15... maybe next go around it will be off--for good! miss you already!
Isn't it funny that over time you don't think you change your look very much but then when you see the pictures you are shocked...I seriously didnt recognize you in your college pic!!! Glad you had fun...I guess...but I'm still mad you picked costa rica over my back yard wadding pool offer.
