A Shout OUT: My favorite Crane
jamie crane has saved my life many times in 3 years, and is the person i look to for the most spiritual strength and genuine character outside of my mom & sister. she's going on a mission... and i confess when she told me for sure her papers were done & going in i just got off the phone & had a little cry. ugh why do people i love & want to be close to forever always leave me FOREVER??
Well at least she came to visit for 4 days and i haven't felt SO GRATEFUL for the friends i've been blessed!! It was amazing. Not only did she sing with my in church, she also made me laugh harder and smile more than ever!! :)
This is our attempt at a self-timed jumping shot. it didn't work, except to cause extreme laughing.

JUST IN CASE YOU DIDN't KNOW:
i have other friends. i just happen to have lots of pics of me & brighton. i don't know why me & said other bff friends don't take pictures. kelli.

Crappy Video. Lovely Man. Lovely Song.

conversation by text. we are driving 2 cars from vegas to hb:
lindsey: it's not dangerous to take pictures of the sunset while driving 80 miles per hour, right?

jamie: i hope not. i took a lot. :)

(these pictures don't do it justice. it was amazing.)

some of you may know that christmas is not my favorite holiday. it's better than flag day but less important to celebrate than arbor day (plant a tree, people!) but this year i did figure out a few things that make it worth staying on the calendar.

• food. can you say chocolate covered pretzels, funeral potatoes & ROLLS?
  
• family.
• the sounds of 6-9 children 6 and under all screaming, talking, cooing, crying, laughing all at once. no, seriously, that really was my favorite part. my lovely single life is very quiet.
  

the end.

thanks jeni. you are quite possibly the best and most observant roomie ever.

thanks merzy.. i mean.. brad. for asking merz what you should get. sorry jeni got the good reaction. she got, "oh my gosh that is AWESOME i love it, this is the best gift!!!"
you got the one where i said (literally),
"oh no."

Listen. Love.

(no really, okay, that is a lie.)

i like almonds now. this is a development in taste circa 2008.
