Siblings

I love my siblings. Now I have three which is pretty exciting!
These two came over the other night and just hung out and I absolutely loved it! I made them dinner and introduced them to the awesomeness that is Parks and Rec. I felt so grown up and cool that they wanted to come over and hang out with me at my apartment. It was the best. They have some pretty funny stories considering my family is moving and they're getting everything ready to sell the house. 

It's so bizarre, I just moved out and now my family is moving. Brinley is going down to Colorado Springs for college and Tanner is going to high school. What's going on here?!  How are we going to hang out and keep up?! Thank goodness Brinley just got a blog :)

I love Sundays just talking with them too. They argue over who's going to talk and have so many stories. Tanner reminds me so much of myself when I was his age, which is probably why he drives me nuts sometimes but I still love him. And Brinley has such a personality and a voice and I love her look on the world, it's so unique and funny and it's so great to see her so alive.

Now, for my brother in law. 
I love this picture of us. He just let me touch his mustache. He puts up with my weirdness and is weird himself around me. Just the other night at dinner, he told me that his legs were numb from sitting on the toilet too long. I couldn't stop laughing all dinner even though everyone else disapproved of his comment. I kept remembering it and giggling. 

We've had some weird encounters now that we're officially siblings. One day I was at work and started getting frantic phone calls from him and all his family because when I was given Sammy's spare key to his car, I was actually given Michael's spare key. Turns out Michael needed it because his car was locked and the engine was still running. How this happened, he still won't tell me. Anyways, I'm down in Denver with no car at work and he needs the spare key that I have. So his dad had to drive down, grab the key from me, then drive all the way back to unlock the car. Fun times!

This Sunday, I got to go to the ER with him. He was having back pain so bad he was screaming in pain and couldn't breathe. It shook me up, he's my brother and I'd never seen someone in that much pain. I waited outside with Sammy and let the paramedics in, then we went to the hospital and I waited and waited. They let me in his room for a little bit when he was drugged up which was weird. He told me that he didn't like the tubes of oxygen in his nose, to which I said, "Hey! You look like Hazel!" That made him upset because, well, Hazel is technically dying. I wanted to argue that hey, she lives and Gus dies and he didn't have an oxygen tank so really anyone could die, but I decided that that wasn't the time and went back to the waiting room. 

He's ok now and I'm so glad! I love my siblings. They crack me up :) I just realized that one day, I'll get two more in law siblings and I'm so excited! They better be cool.

    I love having a new brother (in law)! It's like having a big brother who has advice, except you didn't have to grow up with him because brothers are annoying I would assume.

    Ooohhh... you know, I was kinda thinking that would make sense for how TFIOS ends. Just because everyone tells me it's so sad and that seemed like it would be the twist to have.

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...
