Laundry Day

Since we live on-campus, we don't have a washer and a dryer. So in order to do laundry we have to trek down the hill to a laundry place that's one of five provided by BYU. Some days we have to try to several times to do laundry because of the number of people also trying to do laundry. I could see myself fighting someone for a machine.

Because it's such a fiasco to get laundry done, our philosophy is usually "we don't do laundry until we're out of underwear." Underwear is a bit of a necessity. But as fun as it is to load up our pillowcases with clothes, get socks and shoes on, and put on a jacket, all for a 5-10 minute round trip (including putting in the laundry), it's not so much fun. I can't wait to get a washer and a dryer.

The nice thing about living in a place that doesn't have a washer and dryer or a dishwasher is that it gives us a chance to figure out what we really want and need for our next place. We've been thinking about moving after this semester to another place and maybe even out of Provo. We don't know exactly where yet.

The place that we live now, Wymount Terrace (which is the married on-campus housing) is commonly referred to as "The Bunny Hutch." The name fits for a couple of different reasons. The apartments are kinda smallish and there are so many fit together. In our building there are 8 apartments of various sizes (some have 3 bedrooms, some 2, ours is a 1 bedroom). Kinda cramped, but it's worked for us. The other reason why it's called "The Bunny Hutch" and probably the real reason why it's called that is because of the reproduction rate.

The first Sunday that we attended our new ward, there was a baby blessed. 2 Sundays later, there were 3 babies blessed. My previous experience to BYU wards were singles wards so it was kinda weird to experience this in a BYU ward. For the rest of the summer/fall there was only one sister who was pregnant and had a baby. There must be something about having a baby in spring because there are currently about 7 women pregnant in my ward. I'm sure that there are a lot more throughout the different wards in the complex. They must put something in the water.
