You are the friends I so truly cherish :]

true love

(...and that's not supposed to be read in a princess bride's accent)

 

 

 

 

over winter break i got another sister.

that doesn't just happen everyday so we celebrated, had a big party and such. we even dressed up in matching colors for the occasion.

the day was wonderful, and while the food was gourmet, it wasnt even the best part.
the best part of the whole day was seeing the look on richard's face. it just kind of stuck there all day.
it really just said it all.
pretty sure he wasn't sure if he had died and gone to heaven.
i have never seen that expression on his face in my whole life... and i've known him just a year and half short of his whole life.

and who blames him. he got an angel.

...

now looking at this picture i realize that i have a huge family. growing up i always knew i had a big family but wow things sure have grow recently.

congrats to alecia and kassie who are both expecting in the mid may
way to go mom and dad for surviving thus so far and for raising such superb kids ;]
thank you to gma and gpa for your over flowing kindness
and
thanks everyone else for the late night amusement, lego parties, walking to home, not making fun of my running pace, being quick in the bathroom, and and letting me win at settlers... on occasion.

today is a day of love.
and i love you all so much.

jimmer love

the other day i realized i have not been to one men's basketball game all year.
fail.

i do love byu and even basketball, but there just will never be a season that could compare to the jimmer year.
i pretty sure im suffering from post-jimmer fever.

camping out on the concrete at the marriott center last march

other great memories from last year:

learning and practicing the flash mob dance at the wyoming game!

braggin to everyone that byu was ranked 4th in the nation

the jimmer mania and idol worship that popped up everywhere

the life size jimmer that hung in our kitchen 

my friend kelsie ran across these.

happy valentines all.

the mailman is my favorite person today

today I got a big white envelope in the mail that is addresses to Sister Clarissa Oliphant.

 [picture was here]


inside this envelope there is a letter signed by the first presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that announces when and where I will be serving the Lord for 18 months.


holy flippin smokes there is so much going on in my brain right now.
and I haven't even gotten the guts to touch it yet.
