All Growed Up

These are some of my most favorite ladies in the whole wide world. Leda and Shaliese are missing from the picture because they live out east but this post goes out to them too!

I met these wonderful women my freshman year at BYU seven years ago. Seven years! I can't believe it's been that long. I've been friends with some of the most loving, generous, and sincere people for seven years. How lucky am I?! As I think of what has happened over the years I realize a lot has changed since the day I met them in August 2003. Since we met, collectively, we have graduated from BYU, gone on missions, gotten married, started working in the real world, received master's degrees, had lots o' babies (all girls so far!), run half-marathons, lived in other countries, traveled the world, and moved far away from home and each other. But we have stuck together through it all.

These women are strong, motivated, loving, righteous, funny, caring, and beautiful. Who wouldn't want to be friends with them? I mean, they're the type of people who meet you at the airport with a homemade sign the day you fly into SLC to start college. Then they invite you to a movie and crepe making before school even starts. Were it not for them I'm sure I would be a totally different person today. I don't think it was chance that I was the 6th roommate.

Lets take a trip down memory lane:

Sleepovers at Kasia's. Memorizing names of her friends I don't know :). Roommate dinner. Life-size Brittany Spears. Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving plus a whole bunch of other people. Birthday celebrations. 222. Pride and Prejudice watch-a-thons. Brick Oven outings. First Friday. Late, late nights chatting. Silly crushes. Heartbreaks. Roommate Christmas. Halloween parties. 60's night. Chinese fisherman. Hitler. Dolomite. 

These women have shaped my life into something beautiful

Claire, Kasia, Leda, Shaliese, and Jeanette...you mean the world to me

and I love you!

Squishy

The many names and faces of my baby:
*Squishy
*Squish
*Squishy meatball
*Squishy lobster
*Squishy pumpkin
Does squishy look like a fake word to anyone else right now?
*Pincess (said Peencess)
*Sweetums
*Oh yeah, and Kara on occasion

I know I forgot a few and there will certainly be new ones and variations on some/all of the above in the future. She has a very creative Daddy :)

Her left arm always works its way out of the blanket. It makes me laugh every time I see it.

I walked in during nap time and this is how I found her. Silly girl.
