Catchin' up...

So, today I got together with a dear dear friend of mine, Angie.

 She is just a wonderful ray of sunshine, and one of my kindred spirits.

 I have only found a few kindred spirits in my 18 years of life, and she is definitely one of them. 

We hardly ever get together, but when we DO, we talk about everything from clothes and sex, to politics and what scares the shizz out of us. Nothing is off limits, and I know that no matter what I say, Angie won't mind :) And most of the time she'll actually agree with me. And vice versa. Tis the perfect arrangement. 

Plus we can be ugly and weird around each other...which I feel is a VITAL part of being kindred spirits. 

Here are some pictures to prove my point: 

 So ravishing...

 Angie: "This is a toothpaste mustache"

Allie: "....."

 Angie: "This is a toothpaste mustache on my chin"

Allie: "I think that's called a beard..."

 There are no words to describe this one...

 Old lady faces...mine doesn't really look old. Just ugly.

But just to redeem ourselves: We can (and usually are) stunningly gorgeous and are sometimes mistaken for famous super models. Yeah. I know. Pretty dang impressive.

So yeah, we had a wonderful time catching up before I leave. 

Which leads me to my NEXT point of interest:

I LEAVE IN 13 DAYS.

Where has my life gone?

I am so unbelievably excited to go to BYU, but it kinda snuck up on me pretty ridiculously fast. I can't handle the fact that I have to start saying goodbye to people for real. Like,

 "I'm moving away and I'll be back to visit over Christmas, but other than that I'm leaving forever" goodbyes.

Too scary. 

I wish I could just magically show up on campus at BYU tomorrow and skip all the byes. I don't do well with goodbyes at all. AT ALL. So wish me luck.

Today for Gideon's birthday, we had the most epic Nerf battle that has ever occurred. Complete with war paint and tipping all the furniture over to make forts and barricades. Jealous, are you? Good. You should be. 

Also, I spent a little bit too much time creeping on BYU student's freshman year albums on fb. GAH I'm just too excited to contain it!!!! So I won't try to contain it.

IIII AMMM SOOO EXXCCITTTEEEDDDDD!!!!!! Times a bazillion milllion trilllion.

13 days!!!

Is 19 pairs too many?...

So, I have spent the afternoon shopping for unmentionables and cleaning out my room so I may leave for college. It's been surprisingly easy. I am just ridiculously, indescribably excited to go to BYU. 

Ahhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!! :) :)

This is a fabulous going away to college/leaving the nest song. I LOVE IT.

Today I finally faced the challenge of deciding what shoes to take with me to college...this was quite a daunting task considering I have...lets just say way too many pairs of shoes. ALL of which I love. I sat down, and through a very very intense selection process chose 19 pairs of shoes to take with me. 

Mind you, these are the shoes that I cannot possibly bear to part with. 

Too many? Maybe. 

Worth losing the closet space? Absolutely.

I learned a very important lesson last night. 

(Those of you who follow me on twitter have already heard about this. allieHeureux )

You need no amount of alcohol in your system whatsoever to make an idiot out of yourself at a party.
Just please remember this, and plan accordingly. Be responsible. Don't under any circumstances act like a 12 year old. But I think that applies to every realm of life. Yeah. Just never act like a 12 year old .They're the WORST. 15 year olds are in second place for being the worst.

Those are my words of wisdom to you, oh wise people who read my blog. 

Don't ever forget them. 

The point of this blog (in case you didn't hear), as soon as I get out to school, is to document the awesome adventures at BYU in the life of Allie Heroux. 

So, hopefully it is a ridiculous blast. It probably will be. Lets be serious. A bunch of LDS kids going disco-skating, and not consuming any mind-altering substances whatsoever?? 

That will get interesting, I guarantee it. We get pretty dang creative. 

So, let the countdown begin: 

15 days 

until I leave MN
