The latest gossip....


His name is Devin and I'm pretty fond of him. :)

Belated Birthday Post


Since I have done a post in celebration of both Kiersten and Erin's birthday, it's only right that I do a belated one for Lindsey.


Lindsey is...my other half. She really is. No one can get me more wild or have as much fun as Linds can when we get together. From banister dancing and playing horrifying pranks on Brother all the way to white-trash picture taking and making fun of mother and her love (ie: obsession) for Kiki, Linds and I have always been the best of friends. It has been so much fun to have beautiful family living with us this summer because her and Keegan are so fun to watch with this new baby. They are incredible parents and they have the sweetest baby in the whole world. So this is my official birthday shout out to Lindsey, I love YOU and your fertile body! Thanks for your friendship and my beautiful new nephew!

I'm struggling....

I'm struggling with this whole "blogging" thing. Don't give up on me though...I have a feeling I am going to have things to be blogging about in the very near future. Stay posted. XoXo.

Baby Asher

Being an aunt is seriously the greatest thing in the whole wide world. Words cannot express how much I love this little one. He is definitely a Bench baby...beautiful, dark, and hairy! I cannot wait for all of you to meet this tiny, precious blessing! Enjoy the pictures, although they don't even begin to do him justice.

Happy Birthday Pumpkin!

Today my oldest sister was born and this makes me happy because:

*She is the absolute best dancer you will ever see. In reality she is terrible at dancing that it is absolutely amazing. It will change your life.
*She is the smartest person I have ever met but is very humble about it.
*She has the most beautiful baby boy in the whole world. (Todd, you didn't know I felt this way about you?)
*Pink Sweats
*She is an amazing example to me as I've grow up and I appreciate what a loving and admirable older sister she has been to me! I love you Erin! I am so glad mom birth-ted you.

Who am I?

Since recently turning 20, I look back on my younger years and can't help but be proud of the woman I have grown into. I have become especially grateful that I was such an avid journal keeper so I am able to see the progression I have made throughout the years as I look back on those pages. Let's just say, I've made a lot--a ridiculous amount--an embarrassingly huge amount of progression. I think.

Here are a few experts to give you an idea and I'll let you be the judge.

(First journal entry I ever made, first sentence I ever wrote)
My b-day I couldent sleep last night but I slept good.

2/1/1999
Well Landon likes I mean loves me now and I love him weve loved eachother for about half of the school year and I loved it. I hope he did to. See heres the story I liked Landon the hole school year and half of the school (the begining) and I tried to hide it but I think I was kind of ovese. . One day Landon said he was going to tell me and paula who he liked we totally thought it was me but then he said it was Paula I felt like my heart was going to stop beating. Then we started to get sereis I huged Landon twice and then we huged for 10 seconds. . .on the last day of school me and Landon were soppsed to hug for 20 seconds but we chickend out.

Me and Landon arent shy anymore we dont even think we just talk.

1/11/2000
I dumped landon then for two hole days he was begging me back but I didn't fall for it. Then nathen and paula got together but paula dumped him the day after I dumped landon and so nathan was trying to get me. Then landon decided to like paula and paula likes him and jon decided to like me and so did nathen and I had to chose. Why did I dump Landon? Because weve been togther foever and he was being a jerk! Now we like beat eachothe up! ITS FUN!

Deane is from washingten: I hate her. But Deana says in washingten I look good with a boy named Alex and paula lookes good with a boy named Eric.

Ha ha Ha, lol! Geuss what is so funny, we had another maturation program it was so funny. They are so serouise but its not that big of a deal! I started before thanksgiving!

3/26/2001
Today me and Bryster (bryan) went to the PUD park and she had to go PEE-PEE and so she went in the river and it was so funny! And she went in her underwear so we went home and she changed!

5/18/2001
After Tyson dumped me I knew I had to get him back. So bryan asked her boyfriend to pretend to be my boyfriend. So I told corey brown (a girl) that the minute tyson dumped me spencer asked me out and I said yes! Corey was running all over telling people! lol! She was like, can I tell tyson? And I was like you mine as well! So it worked like a charm! And when she told him he was like NO! NO! and stormed out of the lunch room and me and spenser we totally cheesing it. And Tyson looks so PEOD and he was so jelouse! So then I "dumped" spencer and told Corey so she could spread it!

3/10/2002
I am so happy for once a boy actually likes me, today a kid came up to me and goes I like you. . . I always knew he liked me.

I just have to keep reading that last journal entry and reassure myself that people did like me in my younger years--or at least they did in my delusional state of being. And now I will have to re-enter that state if I have any chance at believing any of you will still like me after reading these journal entries.

XoXo. Write more tomorrow.
Loves.

Tis' the Season

It's 2007. My best friends and I are driving to lunch. We get pulled over because my friend is speeding. The cop gets her information and we are freaking out while he is at his car. He comes back and says he is giving us a citation. All three of us thank the cop profusely for only giving us a citation. The cop leaves confused. We leave pleased. We get to lunch elated and inform everyone that my friend was only given a citation. . .

Turns out a citation is a fancy word for a ticket. . .not in fact, a warning.

Anyway, here's some pictures from recently. Happy Holidays!


Getting ready for the Christmas season.
