Apartment 52 Reunion

We finally did it! A BYU roommate reunion! These girls are such a huge part of my college experience! At one point I said, "I think we may have missed out on a lot of things at BYU because we were just having too much fun in our apartment." People would just stop by apartment 52  - strangers who lived somewhere in University Villa - because they had heard this was the fun place to be. It was true - we were the planners and we always had something going on. It was So. Much. Fun! 

The girls came to Vegas this time (and yes, there will be a next time), partially because it's in the middle for everyone and partially because I am nursing Henry and wouldn't have been able to come otherwise. The girls stayed in a 5 star hotel that was fabulous, so I missed out on some of the fun like room service and super late nights, but I got to see them a lot and still got into the spirit of the weekend. Matt was awesome and kept the kids for me and gave up on studying for the CPA exam for the weekend.

We had to see a Cirque du Soleil show - Zarkana is fairly new at the Aria, so we went to the late show after Ryan's wedding Saturday night. Despite my promise that there were no clowns in the show (I really didn't think there were any), there were a ton of clowns! As we walked to our seats down near the front, two clowns were standing ON our seats, messing around with everyone. I thought Bristow was going to turn around and run - she hates clowns! But, they weren't too annoying and left us alone once the show started. 

I cried while laughing so many times this weekend and it felt so good! I mean the laugh until you can't stop and your face is probably looking so crazy but it's so hilarious that you don't care kind of laughing. See -THIS is why we just hung out all the time. And, maybe why none of us got married at BYU... anyhoo!

We are already planning next year's reunion, but even if we don't make it a yearly thing, we need to plan something regularly. Social media, texting and phone calls are great, but they are nothing compared to seeing someone in person and making new memories.  The rumor is Provo 2016 (if Ortwein is still there) - til then!
