I really want to start putting more pictures in my blog posts, but my camera is really not the best (which means that most of my pictures look perfect on the camera's preview screen, but they turn out all blurry when I get them on my home computer).
I've now lived at the University Christian Union for 3 years. That's three years of sun, rain, snow, freak wind storms, friends (more like family), pranking, and general fun (besides the studying part). Emily, another one of the girls that moved out this year, wrote the following blog post:
1. The time that Kris Lawrence dumped an entire gallon of water on a guy in the kitchen during a waterfight.
2. The time that Kirs Lawrence poured a full cup of water down the back of my shirt while I was just standing there, reading the white board.
3. The time we all watched The Godfather, but everyone fell asleep. Matt curled up on the pool table.
4. Playing Twister with pans of Jell-O instead of dots.
5. Singing at the Crista nursing home.
6. Juan dressed as Rupert for the Halloween dance.
7. When Josh and I learned that we had not only met each other briefly in high school, but that he had been a victim of me and my friends during a "Hug the first person you see at a church rally" game.
8. Going to a Natalie MacMasters concert at Benaroya Hall with Jacob and Garrett.
9. When Heather freaked Linnell out with a prank phone call about an order of penguins from the Woodland Park Zoo (Linnell ended up cancelling her credit card).
10. Emmy, Jaci, and I harassing the La Rouche people (full transcript available upon request).
11. Giving people haircuts for the Week of Man.

26. Getting caught while spraying down the guys' pillows with air freshener. They then sprayed us down with Axe, tagged us with blue paint, and released us back into the wild.

Obviously, there are thousands of other excellent moments involving excellent people. It's been an incredible 3 years, and I'll miss seeing every one of you!!! Don't worry, I'll come back and visit. ;D
