In regards to my recently deleted BYU post

For those of you who weren't able to read my BYU post before I deleted it, I apologize. I got way too much negative feedback. It was partly my fault for not clarifying and separating some things. For the most part, it may have been controversial mostly because when people hear or see "BYU", they automatically think "Mormon". Most of the blog post was about the negative experiences I had at BYU, with a few good ones sprinkled in. Many people felt like this was reflecting bad on the church, so I decided to take it down. Anyways, I had a lot of questions about why I took it down, so I thought I'd just put up a post. If you want to know more about what happened or whatever, just ask me, and I'll tell you in the most optimistic way possible. Again, I didn't mean for my comments about my experience at BYU to reflect bad on the church or it's members. I just had a really bad experience that resulted from some fault of my own and some not. I hope nobody was offended and everyone can calm down about it all haha. Thanks for all the feedback, both good and bad!

Everyone go buy this right now!!!

These things are SO addicting, you should all try them!!

Quote of the Day

You don't know what people are going through, so when you see someone crying, don't think it's because they are weak. Most likely they've been being stronger at something than you have for a long time and just need a break. Keep calm and carry on.

More pictures from the Trip

These are the pictures I forgot in the last post from the trip!!!

WELCOME TO TENNESSEE!!!

There was a prostitute in the car (you can only see her leg) and the guy was mad because she wouldn't have sex with him and she told him it was because he was ugly...me and Spencer agreed.

Nearing Birmingham!!!

FINALLY GOT TO ATLANTA AT 7AM ON MONDAY MORNING!!!

Took Spencer to Cracker Barrell....he played the triangle game and lost...but he had been driving for a few days...poor guy.

Georgia Flowers





Trip from Utah to Georgia...and a few days here

Ok, soooo....my trip out to Georgia from Utah has been an interesting one. Sorry it's taken so long to post about it. I have many pictures, so in order to present them in a more organized manner, they run down chronologically and I have included captions underneath each one for explanation :) The pictures tell the trip better than I can haha
This shows the route of our trip pretty well haha
there's a couple of other pins in random places
from pictures I've taken earlier this year.
Mark and I's legs...pretty sexy right?


Me and Mark saying our last goodbye and trying to come up with a pose....
I decided to hold him!

And then we hugged! Seriously, the best room mate I've had at BYU!


HI KATIE!!!

Oh hey Thpencer.

Don't worry, we had side mirrors to see behind us....

Mount Timp...BYE PROVO!

one more time

Just kidding! I noticed this in our tire as we were getting gas, so we were stuck at Costco while they put new tires on!!! By about 9pm on Thursday, we were on our way!!!

Right after our bathroom break....

Utah

More Utah

We had to pay $3 per person to stand on the four corners...we were close enough though so....we got to do it for free!!!

Arizona

New Mexico




Almost out of New Mexico

Now in Texas (Spencer got a ticket in Amarillo...it was only a warning. They thought we were transporting drugs....)

Got to see Crossett!!! He almost saved a 300lb man's life this morning!!! But he didn't...so he made us biscuits and gravy. Thanks to Him and his wife, Becca, we had a nice place to sleep!!!

Beautiful Oklahoma

Dead Butterfly made for a nice pic

This is Vian, OK...where we broke down and spent an incredible day with the locals!

You can't really tell, but that person with the baseball cap, just rode in on a lawnmower  and got gas and left. Drove on the street and everything. Very cost effective!!!

These belts fell off....

.....oh and so did this...probably not important right? Apparently it is...

We got to stay with my Aunt Laurie and Uncle Rick!!! They are soooo awesome and made us organic roast, with sweet potatoes and salad!!! It was seriously...DELICIOUS!!!
Ok, so finally made it here. Living in Athens now, so I
get to see my sister a lot!!! She just got this cute puppy!
And again.









Brianna with her new puppy. Saddie!!








Instagram that ish.

a funny note I found on Twitter

So anyways, as you can see, it was quite the adventurous trip I forgot a few pictures, so I will add them in another post in a bit. For now, just enjoy this one!!! I'm finally settled into my new place for the most part, and am desperately looking for a job! ALSO THEY HAVE TRADER JOE'S HERE!!!!!!!!
