THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! for coming to Ben and I's wedding, it was so great to have you all there and see everybody! Second of all, can you believe this crazy summer is over!!??

I know I'll be enjoying the warm days down here in Dixie... hehehe.
Love, Stacey McAffee :) yeah, I love to say it.

Peace!

The End is Near...

Two weeks of class and one great week of finals before us GlenHood 5 girls go our separate ways.

Congrats to our girl Stacey who is getting MARRIED in July! We are all so happy for you and are semi-ok with the fact you are moving to St. Geez to be with your one-true love. We will miss you! I especially will miss our morning breakfast routine (even though I know you hate eating cereal by people) and our Sunday walks! Love love ya girl!

Meg-Girl is heading off to the U... way sad/way good! We will also miss you tons around Helltartica but it will be an awesome adventure and you are gonna rock the SLC!

Car is headed to Switzerland to find her a hott Swiss man...and to do a little learning here and there.

Jules is going to kick it in St. Geez and have the darkest tan known to man. Yay for sun!

K-dawg is staying in the Logan area and will probably go on awesome summer trips, I swear she travels with the fam more than anyone I know!

I am going to the S.A. (South America) and then going home, oh joy!

Car and K-dawg are the only two staying in the Hood next year. I think we are all gonna miss that place!

Grow old with me! The best is yet to be.

Stacey's getting married. It was time to celebrate with Glenwood 5, past and present residents.

Congrats!

Ladies and gentlemen, it's official. Ok, well, not quite official, but pretty dang close. 

Stacey and Ben are getting hitched! 

I love you guys and am so incredibly excited for you!

What Characters

We, here in Glenwood 5, never call anyone by their actual name. Within five minutes of meeting someone new, they normally have a nickname. It was time to create nicknames for each other. Here are the results:

Meg: Scuttle

You can always count on Meg to be in the know. She knows lots of things about lots of things. Also, the words and phrases that she creates are brilliant and spread to the entire apartment. Case in point: "Flub it to me."

Jules: Mushu

Jules is feisty and the best person to have by your side in a conflict of any sort. The girl doesn't take crap from anyone, even if they are scary, menacing villain types. Also, she's freaking hilarious.

Kristin: Cogsworth

Trust Kristin to be the voice of reason. She keeps us from doing anything illegal, reigns in the ruckus, and has some of the best one-liners in the world. Another possible alias is Zazu.

Shana: Jessie

The girl has spunk. She always knows how to have a good time and dances anywhere at any time. However, you won't get on her bad side if you know what's good for you.

Stacey: Tinkerbell

Stacey is sassy. Don't tick her off. She always looks cute and can be super cuddly. If she likes you, she may chuck some pixie dust your way.

Carlie: Merryweather

Carlie means well, but don't make her mad. It gets noisy and can be extremely messy. If you're on her good side, she will wave her magic wand and good things might be coming your way.

Almost MidTerms

Which means that we only have 2 more months of school.
holla.

I'll Be There For You...

Remember that song by The Rembrandts that used to permeate the air from the television set once a week? 

It's like you're always stuck in second gear/ When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year/ But I'll be there for you/ When the rain starts to pour/ I'll be there for you/ Like I've been there before/ I'll be there for you/ Cuz you're there for me too...

Any of that ringing a bell? Well, thanks to Stacey's sweet boyfriend, Ben, that song is usually heard two, three, four times a day in GlenHood 5 since he got her all ten seasons for Christmas. What a perfect way to bribe ourselves to do homework, mend a broken heart, or just pass the time. Thanks, Ben!

Here's a clip of some of our favorite episodes with the characters we all love:

This Is How We Spend Our Monday Nights....

Monday night date night with our man Jake.
He is amazing and we all love him.

We have a new roommate!

We have an

AMAZING

new roommate!

Jules replaced Nat and we love having her around!

She is from St. George, a landscape design major, and SO much fun to have around!

Congrats!

Hey ladies! Just wanted to say congrats to you all on have our first day DONE! I won't say it's GREAT to be back, because you all know I'd be lying, but it is good to see you all again and I'm excited for one more semester with you ladies! Happy New Year to you all, and good luck with this semester...
Love you ladies!
-Stacey
PS oh and can I just say welcome Jules (sorry I don't know how to spell your name!) so fabulous to have you living in the Glenhood. :)

Meg is 20 today

Today Meg turns 20. She is quickly joining the ranks of those of us who are officially older and wiser. Well, I don't know about the wiser part, but older nonetheless. Here are a few things I love about Meg:

• She created the first Weekly Wednesday Winner Dinner. Although we sort of slacked off at the end of the semester, for the first half of the semester, it was one of my favorite things about the week.
• Meg knows more people than anyone I know. 959 Facebook friends? I don't think I'm physically capable of even tolerating that many people, let alone allowing them to be my Facebook friend.
• Meg has pulled me out of my shell... And when I say that, I mean at all hours of the day and night. I've never been much of a night person, but ever since moving in with Meg, I have learned. Slip and Slide down Old Main Hill at midnight, anyone?
  
• I laugh with/at Meg more than anyone else in glenHOOD 5.
• Meg always lends a shoulder to cry on... even if that happens once every three months whether I need to or not.
• Meg speaks her mind. She can be cordial to people, but even if I can't read her expression at the time, I know it won't be long before I get a full blown account of what she's thinking.

And the number one reason I love Meg is because she is responsible for my favorite story of fall semester. Any of this ringing a bell, Meggers?
Meg: *KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK* TELL ME EVERYTHING!!!!! HOW DID IT GO?!?!?!
Me: *Stuttering incoherently* Uh, well, uh, um, he, uh, well, he's still here..... *Blushing sheepishly*
Meg: Oh... ok....
1.5 hours later
Meg: *(Quietly) knock knock knock* (Whispering) Is he still here?
Me: *Huge eye roll* Yup, he's still here.
Meg: Oh, ok. Um, well, I'm gonna be in my room. We'll chat later?
Me: Sure, Meg.

Love ya, gurl!!!! Have a great birthday! We'll celebrate when we're all back in the 'hood in Helltartica.

Love,
Carlie

Christmas Break!

The roommates have officially dispersed for the break. Meg left today, Nat will married in less than two weeks, Car and I are leaving tomorrow, Stacey is headed down to St. George this weekend and Kristin will be in and out. It's kind of a sad moment and the 'hood will definitely be cold and lonely. So I just wanted to say that I love you girls, have a great break, and I'll see everyone in a month!
-Shana

Nat is old

Natalie has finally joined Shana and me and gotten old. This has been a big semester for Nat. In addition to getting married in less than a month, even her birth certificate says she is leaving childhood. Here are five things that I love about Nat:

• I love how her smile is absolutely infectious. It lights up her whole face and I can't help but smile when she does.
• When Nat gets riled, the only thing she says if "FREAK!"
• She hasn't turned into Bridezilla.
• Thanks to her, the rest of us didn't have to supplement the kitchen much.
• She always invites us to go do things with her and Jordan, even though I'm sure sometimes they'd rather have some alone time.

Love you tons, Natalie! I'm going to miss living with you, but am so excited for you!

Love,
Carlie

Celebrating Natalie's Engagement...

Tonight was girl's night out to celebrate Natalie's engagement at Hamilton's. Our favorite waiter Victor VI was absolutely fantastic. Talk of wedding plans, temples, colors, dresses, tuxes, and flowers filled the air as the countdown to the December wedding begins!!!

Weekly Wednesday Winner Dinner

It's beginning to get a little chilly up here so,

this week Carlie made taco soup!

It was AMAZING!

We love Mother Carlie!

Here are our winners for the week:

until next week...

Spider!

So tonight we are all sitting at the kitchen table and then we hear Kristen screaming "Spider, Spider!" and hitting the floor with her shoe.

I go out to look at it, and what do you know, it was a piece of black thread......

scary huh?

Congrats!

Natalie and Jordan are taking the plunge. I'm thrilled that Natalie is happy. Congratulations, Girl! We love you! As for me, Mae West sums it up best: "Marriage is a great institution, but I'm not ready for an institution yet." :)

All the best, Beautiful!!!!

Holler Atcher Marriage!

Congrats Nat and Jord! Love ya lots!
