Jacob & Kyle BFF&E (Best Friends Forever and Ever)

Kyle Meyer -------------- Jacob Stoutenburg

Here it is Jacob, a Blog solely devoted to you and kyle.

I hope you like it - ha.

For those of you who don't know, Kyle was my FOCUS partner, ie. we worked together and were in charge of new freshman students coming to CBU.

and Jacob, was Lindseys partner.

Kyle and Jacob, are BFF&E.

its true.we hang out a lot. and call eachother family. we basically have a blast. right?

We go to Kyles races.

Kyle has trouble reaching his toes. its funny. They stole lots of things from our apartment. and we just redecorated.

anyway. they are good friends to apartment 328. they are our family. and we love them dearly.

the end

IT'S OFFICIAL:

I'm Home Home Home - for the summer.

Yesterday: started summer school. blah.

how about drawing for 5 hours a day for 4 days a week? talk about a lot of drawing and then after drawing all day, he made us blitz through the drawings that we are actually doing to turn in. sad. I'm not a very good draw-er. ]

so sad.

In response to you Jacob, I have not written about you and kyle YET because I'm going to make you your very own special blog. filled with pictures that I'm sure you will just L O V E :) happy now?

home is grrrreeaaat.
and i just turned 21 on Friday. yep. and you know where i was? Disneyland. sorry to give it away to those of you who were guessing.

21 without a drop of alcohol. Honestly, I'm glad. AND I'm glad I was on contract just so i wouldn't even have to say anything - just well, I'm also on contract. It was great. So, it was a good birthday AND I got some sweet really really really nice markers for my birfday. The kind Chip Foose uses (the guy from Overhaulin'). So I'll probably be markin' things up like crazy now.

So, ya :) Life is great. Kyle graduated... weird. Ryan and Steph and Andy came down for it. That was absolutely wonderful.

I feel like this is really scattered, but that's how I'm processing right now so... I hope that's OK. If it's not, sadly to say, I don't really care....

Until the next blog which i have promised Jacob that it will be about Kyle and him...


seeeeeeeeeeee yaaaaaaaa

Nephew Time

ummm... how about the fact that my nephew, Andrew - Andy - Roo - Roo Bear ... is so stinkin' cute.

And my brother is pretty great too :)

And... this is my wonderful sister-in-law, Steph

And then Ian - who is so small and cute and great - well, this is Ian :)

What a great little family :)

Finalssssss

Man, it's about to be a long 4 days.
I have so much studying to do. What with 15 units of math this semester, things have gotten a little..... overwhelming you might say. And now, it's finally almost over. Thank the Lord.

On a happy note, Mom sent me a care package today - YAY!!!
What was included one might ask?
- Wheat Thins
- Teddy Grahams
- Gushers
- Flipz
- Twix
- Mint Milano's
- Mint flavored 3 Musketeers
- Goldfish
- Nerds
- and last but not least, a wonderful note of encouragement to 'keep on' in this hard week.

Here is one of the wonderful verses that was included:

" The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace."
Numbers 6:24-26

So, I hope that encourages you guys. Maybe you have finals coming up?

oh Ps. I love you dad & mom :) you guys are just great.

YAY for roommates!!

Kyle Meyer took roommate pictures of us - here are a couple of my favorites We went with a 'color' theme.

bright colors to be exact.

Thanks so much Kyle/Partner :)

It's a start, Right?

Here's to blogging! and learning how to type as Lisa says.

I thought it might be fun to start a blog. I dont really know why.
Probably so I can post pictures and talk about all the 'exciting stuff' that I'm doing.

So I guess I'll start Apartment 328.

It's basically pretty great. The five of us absolutely love each other and living in this apartment is a blessing to all of us. The picture at the top right is all of us early in the year.

On that note, I think I'll take this time to share some of my favorite roommate pictures from this last year.

--> This is at one of our fun beach bonfires

--> This is before Kyle's race

--> This is our apartment celebrating Christmas

--> At Lindsey's birthday celebration

--> And finally, Jacob's birthday


Overall, it has been a really great year for apartment 328.

You want to hear some exciting news??? The same group of us are living in the same apartment next year!!!!

Apartment 328 forever!!!
