My new friend

This is my new friend. Her names Viviann but she goes by Brooke. She's almost three and is pretty awesome!

When I went over to Sammy's yesterday she said my name as soon as I came in. Apparently everyone had been teaching her my name before I came over. She was shy for about three minutes and then gave me a high five. She showed me her toes and how she can count to ten in Spanish. And then she gave me a big hug.

I'd brought a movie over so Sammy and I headed down to go watch it, but she said she wanted to come with. SAmmy's dad kept asking her to sit with him, but she wanted to hang out with me and Sammy. Is it bad this made me secretly happy? Haha! So we played with Brooke for awhile. I taught her about Yoda, played a roller coaster game with her, and then we were just throwing Yoda at the wall. We went and showed Brooke's parents her new knowledge, then said we were going to watch the movie. Brooke still wanted to hang out with us, and her parents said it was ok if she came and watched the beginning, she wouldn't watch it anyway.

So, we headed back down to the basement to watch the movie. Sammy handed her an xbox controller to hold while he set it up. The sound wasn't working, so Brooke and I told Sammy to fix it! She kept saying that over and over, it was so stinking cute! Finally Sammy got the movie working and we started it. Brooke sat down a little bit and her eyes got all big. We'd ask her questions and she wouldn't answer. She likes her some Star Trek.

Her parents came to get her a few minutes later and were impressed that she was actually watching the movie, apparently that never happens. Then she told me about all her favorite  vegetables and headed up to bed, giving me a hug and a kiss.

Oh my goodness that sweet girl melted my heart! Her mom looks like Sammy, but her dad is a whitey like me, so Brooke is a mixed baby. So, that's what I can sort of expect my kids to look like, and oh my she was adorable. She was so sweet and loved me instantly. She didn't whine or complain or cry, when it was time for bed she was just like ok! I might just have to steal her... Just kidding. But it was especially awesome because I'm not that great with little kids, but she just loved me! And made me feel awesome because she wanted to hang out with me and not Sammy's dad hahaha ;) I really hope they move to Colorado, because if they do, that little girl is going to be my flower girl.

Say Yes?

Well. Today I went dress shopping. And it was a really fun experience! I went a few weeks ago, and that wasn't as fun. I almost fainted because everything was so tight! And I looked like a little girl playing dress up. This time though, I felt sophisticated, it was a much better experience, and I may have found THE dress. I know it's one of these ones, but at the store I thought I was going to get one dress. But as I got home and looked through the pictures again, I think another one will work better and is really THE one. I'm going to sit on it though.  I thought it'd be fun to put the pictures up here and let you all see! Tell me which dress is your favorite! If there's two pictures together, it's the front and back.  How was dress shopping for you?  I like the lace and buttons on this dress     Love the top and flowyness of this dress. Really love the neck, top, and ruching on this dress. Not sure about the train though. This...

Book of Mormon Musical?

Well, it's here in Denver. Kind of hard not to notice it with all the signs. The Book of Mormon Musical. I have very mixed feeling about this. I know that in the grand scheme of the universe, this musical shouldn't bother me so much. But it really, really does. The Book of Mormon is something very near and dear to my heart. And I know that people make fun of the LDS church on an hourly basis. I've heard all the jokes. Not a big deal. Plus, I'm blonde. I can take a joke. But this musical really disturbs me. I listened to the songs when they were released, thinking oh, I'm gonna be one of those cool people who fights for this play. But then I really started listening to the words. And they bothered me. A lot. Saying that missionaries who are out in the field make up things on the spot, like having sex with frogs will get rid of aids, it bugged me. I don't even want to talk about some of the other songs. I heard them and felt, just not right. I was comforted by t...

I'm not going to waste time talking about why I have a blog or how this is my first new blog post, because I like to have faith in the human race and the fact that they can read and can interpret these things on there own. I mean, there aren't any posts under this one so obviously this is my first new post. And having a blog is not a mandatory thing to live so one could hypothetically conclude that this is for fun. That is hypothetically speaking of course. I just used 89 words explaining why I didn't need to explain something. I hope I counted that right. Anyways.  Three years ago today on a rainy day I remember being in a basement with a bunch of little people and adults for a scout thing. And I remember them talking about how a certain friend of mine was going to be a senior and how that's so crazy. I was just going to be a freshman at the time and thought I was the coolest thing since duct tape. (Sorry sliced bread, duct tape is waay cooler.) Now that friend is get...
