Fabulous Freesomes!!! ....

Okay, I KNOW it's supposed to be "threesomes," but what isn't better with an alliteration?  Hmmmm??? (Juuuuust kidding... ) ;)

BUT it's true!  I've been blessed my whole life long to belong to some of the awesomest, coolest, and, dare I say, best looking threesomes that have ever existed in the history of this galaxy.  Honest!

It started in second grade with Elizabeth and Julianne, continued in fifth grade with Cynthia and Morgan....then in high school, I became a part of the group called....

Hawkeye, Guster, and the Kid in the Candy Shop.

TAH-DAH!  Hahaha!  Funny story about this picture...but it was (surprisingly) the only one I have of our manifold adventures.  That would be Me, Lis Lucy, and Emilie Susanne.  They're GREAT!  I love these girls to the sky and back.  They have been grrrreeeeeaaaatt buds with me, and I'm a big fan of their beauteous selves!  We have ransomed the world (which is precisely what is depicted in this photograph).  Our legendary adventures have been the stuff of legend in the metropolis of Declo.  No one that has ever met the three of us will ever forget us. :) This next picture pretty much sums up the three of us together:

Complete with kisses.  Yup.  That's us in a nutshell!  Hehehe :]

The next one started at the beginning of my freshman year at BYU.  It is the union of The Queen, Love, and Yusuf Mohammed:

Actually, we are the girls of apartment 133, Me, Alissa Fred, and Marie Morgan.  And we only used our aliases once.  Still, we had many epic adventures as we spent this year as roommates.  I think we went to bed before 2:30 a total of....four times during the past school year.  We just loved to stay up and have tea time and share stories of life and liberty...but mostly the pursuit of happiness.  :)  I was truly blessed beyond belief with these beautiful, wonderful girls, and I love and miss them VERY much.  Like, more than I can say (even though we've only been apart for...not even 2 weeks).  I'm ridonkulous....

Another epic threesome that happened this last semester is that of...the wonderful, practically-sealed custodial workers at the ASB:

My absolutely dashing brothers, Eric William Thomas Henry Floyd Archimedes Mordecai, Miiiiiiiiiiiiichael ALAN, and I had some epic adventures as we worked.  (Duster sword-fights, anyone?)  We were pretty much the life of the crew.  They are part of my wonderful practically-sealed FHE family of which I will tell more (toooons more) later.  I was at their apartment during last semester all the day long.  Needless to say, I love them.  We grew to be practically the same...which is why we're all wearing green in that picture...and all of us are raising our right eyebrows....yeeeeaaahhh. :)  Mike got both Eric and I hired there, and I can't possibly thank him enough!  That job was by far the smartest decision I made during Winter 2011.  Jus' sayin'...

Another of my favorite threesomes actually started at birth...well....Tyler's birth, anyways.  We have always been close, but the three of us didn't actually become (figuratively) welded together until this last year while we all were at BYU together.

Thomas Olaf, me, and Tyler Dan.  These boys are my cousins, and a girl has never been so lucky to be related to two such wonderful/handsome/smart/sweet boys as these!  We were all born within five months, and we have loved talking about life, school, family, blessings, problems, girls/boys, everything with each other.  I have many memories of hunting for crawdads, teasing, wrestling, playing games, breaking rules, visiting, and much much more with them.  They are two of my best friends, and even though my boys are leaving me for 2 years missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (one in Guam, the other in Panama) you can bet we will be writing back and forth.  I'm glad to have these boys because our adventures will last into the eternities!  I'm so excited! :)

The last threesome is the one for this summer.  It, too, started at birth, but only this summer will it be a threesome, and an epic one at that.  Here are the key players:

Okay, I know it's a dreadful picture.  I look a mess, and Max is half out of the picture, but this is Max, me, and Madi--the great!  We are the youngest three in a family of six, and we are all that's left of my parents' ponderous posterity (See?  Alliterations are alluring...okay, i'll stop now.)  Haha!  I love these two to death, and we are together for the summer to make some awesome memories, and I'm excited to spend some more time with them!  I'll give you updates from here on out because the summer hasn't started yet, and there are epic adventures to be had!  Now off and away YOU go!  Go make some of your own!  All the day long... :)

My New Favorite Possessions :)

Hello!

I think y'all should know....I'm easily pleased and entertained----very easily.  So, this week I have bought/received two things that I should have had loooooong before now.  After all, I am from Idaho. ;)

The first is this:

I bought myself a true blue (gingham) cowgirl-cut shirt from C-A-L Ranch Stores...complete with snap buttons.  I love it!  (That's only to be expected, though.  I love anything in gingham. It's perty much the greatest! :] )

The second is something everyone in my home-town has.  I, actually, have never owned them until now:

My very own...

IRRIGATION BOOTS!

BUT, my friends, not just ANY irrigation boots.  These are steel-toed, insole laden, super-duper irrigation boots!  Now, I know what you're thinkin'.  I didn't get these just for the fun of it.  I need them for work because I work here!

For my dad, in a granite shop.  :)  And heaven knows you don't want nasty, wet shoes.....or crushed toes from dropping a countertop on it.  Yikes! :]  Yes, my new companions are warranted, and it's a little silly how happy and proud I am to own them.

I promise I don't dress like that at work....and that I do more than sit there and model my boots.  Heh heh... ;)

Once upon a time....

There lived a little girl. Well...a little-ish girl--okay, so she was never that little. She wasn't huge either. She was....a girl. >sigh<

Once upon a time, there lived a girl.

She was born to loving parents and a family full of rambunctious children, and she was happy. She grew and grew and grew and one day reached her full potential of being 6 feet 2 inches tall, and she was happy. She hated shoes (unless they were high-heels. In THAT case, shoes were fantastic!) She lived outside a very small town with very small people, and she was happy.

Surprise!

This girl is ME! :)

Welcome, welcome to my blog! I'm sure you have long awaited it's arrival (teehee!) and now YOU, yes you, are here now to witness the splendor of it. Congratulations!
