Kaili and I had decided to stick together since we were both staying in Logan after graduation for full time jobs...and we just have a good time being roommates! We had found where we wanted to live but needed one more person in order to fill the apartment. However, we were not having luck finding anyone to fill the spot. Then one day our good friend Megan mentioned that a friend of hers needed a place to live. We decided to take a leap of faith (ugh...such cheesy terminology. I've been watching too much Bachelor) and invited this random girl to be our roommate. That girl was Torie!
Let me tell ya, folks, the three of us have bonded better than I could have ever hoped! We have so much fun together! It's rare that the three of us are ever together for very long, but when we are, it's a good time. We usually end up somewhere in the apartment just talking, whether it's on the kitchen counters, the hallway floor or Kaili's bed, we have some good conversations! We usually always end up laughing super hard.
Torie is 21 years old and from Hyde Park. She works at a marketing firm and loves Cafe Rio (a lot!). She's an avid shopper (both my roommates are...much to my anti shopping dismay). She's got a contagious laugh and is always willing to help anyone, anytime. One of the first things I noticed about living with Torie is that she is super clean when it comes to the space we all share in the apartment. She never leaves anything out, she takes the trash out ALL the time, I have to plan ahead to clean the bathroom before she does because she's always doing it first, even though she cleaned it last. T loves her family a ton and they have been sweet enough to welcome me into their home nearly every Sunday since we moved in together for Sunday dinner. Torie has been the leader in the Whitney Houston memorial music the week after her passing. She owns a Celine Dion music video dvd. Sometimes we drive around a couple extra blocks on the way home just so we can sing to songs in the car. It's just better that way. Torie is wonderful and I'm lucky to have her as a roomie!
drink does not contain alcohol...although sometimes we wonder ;) jk
Kaili and I have been friends since our freshman year of college. We met on the A-Team and have been nearly inseparable ever since. Our nickname for each other is "Girl". Last year our other two roommates called both of us that but we could always tell who was the one actually being called. Kaili is 22 years old, from good ol' Providence (yes, I live with two Cache Valley girls) and LOOOOVVVVVEEESSSS math!!! I can't even describe to you how much she loves it. Her favorite mathematician is Archimedes and for Valentines Day, she sent us all a Geometry love note. For real. She's a high school math teacher (which she totally loves) and just started grad school this semester. She's a very busy girl. [However, I think she's taking a study break right now because I can hear her giggling in her room. Alone. haha] Kaili loves dance parties, frozen chocolate chips, and go out to dinner in her sweats. Kaili loves old movies and has tried very hard to convert me. It's worked a little bit, but I could never catch up with her. haha Best Girl a girl could ask for!
So that's a little bit on them. I love them lots. They're my Logan family. I am blessed to have them in my life. I really have it pretty good. Now I should go work on my lesson for sunday school that I've been putting off. Peace and blessin's.
