"Brooke & Megan: A History"

This was a Daddy/Daughter campout. I'm thinking summer before 5th grade. Here we are singing "The Teddy Bear Picnic" at a ward talent show. 5th grade maybe? We both are confused as to why we had to look like the parents of the bears. Poor Brooke had to wear her brother Adam's suit and be the boy, I'm sure because she's taller. 5th grade again, gotta love that short hair.
Here we jump to 10th grade at a stake dance. 9th & 10th grade were the funnest years ever and it was rare for us to miss a dance.
I think for 3-4 years in a row Brooke's mom was kind enough to let me tag along on their trip to BYU Education Week. Every year was a blast. I think this was either the summer after 10th or 11th grade. Please don't ask what we're doing in a fountain. It was hot and we were teenagers who thought we were the hottest thing since sliced bread. What more can I say? But don't we look happy? :-)
This is Homecoming Junior year. Aren't we
bea-u-tiful?
We both worked as Dining Room Hostesses at Bellewood Retirement Home. Oh my gosh this was such a fun job. I know this was Senior year because of our hair.
Seniors Honor Dinner at church. We're both thrilled to be graduating, we were a bit nervous after skipping our class - War & Peace so much... oops. Graduation! 1992... oh so long ago. How can that be? March 1993. In the airport waiting for the flight to carry Kurt, baby Matthew and me to Alaska.December 1993. Brooke's reception.
Yes, we're still dorks. We jump now to present day.
Here are a few more from my trip...
Brooke's girls - Ellyn, Sadie, Jane & me freezing on the beach.
Brooke & Sawyer at the aquarium.


We've gotten together every few years since getting married, having our families and living thousands of miles apart. Sadly, no pictures of us, just our kids. We were better this time to get some of us, even if we are singing in her shower and modeling shampoo. I'm so glad our friendship has stayed so strong and even with years between visits it's just as much fun as ever. Love you Brookie!

MICHAEL IS COMING HOME TOMORROW!!

By
My Michael is coming home . You can't just say it. You have to SING it. Tomorrow my tall, strong, gorgeous, husband will be here and it will be beautiful. He will nestle into the life of our family and we will have him with us, here, in our house, in our family . He'll help put on jammies and read stories, and tutor Jane in math. He'll take me on dates and wrestle at least one child during sacrament meeting. He'll snuggle me in bed at night and nuzzle my neck while I'm doing dishes. We'll go for walks and play games and watch movies and do fun family Saturday stuff. He'll help carry a kid down to the car and then he'll drive while I put on my makeup ! We love him, we know how much he loves us. We can't wait! Don't worry, I won't work him to death. I won't make him cook dinner every night for the next 10 months or hand over the kids and take off to the spa for the weekend (tempting, but... no). We just want him HERE. I kee...

Fun weeks!!!

By
These past two weeks- three weeks have been quite fun. Up till now school has been really hard. With friends and work. This Jenna that I beleive has already been mentioned is really mean to me. We were best friends one day and the next she had made friends with a drama causer/ bad influence and completely dumped me. It's stupid and I really do try to ignore it but it is more than I can handle. Now I'm lonely in school(because we together had a small group of friends) . I have one other friend so that is good. I hope everything straightens out because she is still being rude to me. Tomorrow is flute auditions. I hope that goes well and I also hope I get my braces off tomorrow. Lots of HOPE. Right now I am watching American Idol with my wonderful family who is the best friend I'll always have. I love taking care of my little siblings. They are always so fun and make me so happy. My mom tries so hard to be a an amazing mother and I appreciate her so much. She is my best friend...

Almost a week already?

By
I swear I just wrote and yet it is two hours away from Wednesday again. You know sometimes I like to pretend that no one reads my blog and I just ignore the fact that I have anyone reading and then sometimes I just want to write directly to my family and friends that read the blog. I'm fickle like that I guess. This past weekend just seemed really great to me. Friday I felt really ill, just a bad cold but I chose to just stay down for the day and try to recover (cold mostly gone in 3 days by the way)so Friday night we did a pizza night. Aunt Jackie, I'm having the same problem with Fit for Life. I keep expanding my free days and also I am eating way out of control on the free day. A binge if you will. I need to rein in again. Superbowl Sunday and Valentine's Day did not help at all! Which brings me back to pizza night. I saw an ad for $10 pizzas from Pizza Hut. Domino's pizza- fine. Papa John's- I can pass, but when I saw that Pizza Hut special I had to ...
