Carroll Hall



On Tuesday, a good friend, Tanya Dunn, from Colorado and BYU, came down so we could visit and let our little guys play, despite the rain. It is always fun to talk to Tanya, talk about life now and reminisce about the crazy college days.



During my freshman year at the Y, my roommates and I lived on the third floor of our building. One day we got it into our heads that tying sheets together and climbing down out of our kitchen window would be great fun. So, I got a little ways down, but sort of got stuck by our neighbors window just below us. Tanya went to the rescue to get the neighbors to let me in their kitchen window. By then I'd managed to get back into our window, but not before leaving a great impression on our neighbors below. :) Tanya ran into one of these neighbors a little while back and what do you think she remembered most about us? "Oh, you were the ones who tried to climb out your window." Great. Well, we had fun.

Too funny! I had never heard that story about climbing out the window. :) I still have to laugh (morbidly) at my memory of you guys kidnapping Derek's hamster, holding it hostage, and then hanging outside his dorm window after it died. :) I think it might have been a dull, quiet year if you and your roomies hadn't been there!

That is pretty daring. I don't think I would be brave enought to climb out a third story window just using sheets!

Beth said...

Renae, I'm shocked! You would have been an entertaining roommate, that's for sure!

I did love being your roommate! We had a blast. Even if I cringe at a few memories, (like Derek's hampster, which I had forgotten about). Renae you are still the best. So why didn't we realize the sheets weren't long enough before you got out the window? :)
