The Birthday Queen

Happy Happy Birthday to Miss Audrey! You are the best! It is as simple as that. I have had so many good and random times with you. You and I in Disney World for senior trip? Perfection! I always know that if I just want to have a good time and spontaneous adventure you are the one to call! You are always coming up with great ideas and fun plans! I am so excited for you and the next phase of your life. CJ seems like a doll and I can't wait to get to know him better! Love you forever! Hope you have had the BEST day!!!

You're birthday last year!

I can't wait to be back in Provo with you! Happy Birthday Audrey!!

Now that you can buy alcohol . . .

My dearest Audrey,

I love you.  I can remember the very first time I even heard about you--I drew a picture of what I thought you would look like and gave it to you (and a pack of Oreos) as a welcome-to-the-hood present.  If only I could put to words how great our friendship has been--solving mysteries, watching worms under our magnifying glasses every time it rained, finding ghost stories wherever possible, eating our favorite foods, beating the boys in Nintendo, singing songs at the tops of our lungs (singing in church . . .), acting like secret agents as we asked/answered to dances, WATER POLO, reading Harry Potter, riding our bikes at the school, our many sleepovers, etc.

But not only do we have fabulous memories, but you have been a true and loyal friend throughout the years:

• When you gave away your gel pen collection so that we could still be friends
• When you sat for hours nursing my sunburns in Lake Powell
• When you bore hanging out with Alex and me just so that I could be with him
• When you drove me places
• When you listen to me talk about random things
• When you supported me after boys were stupid
• When you helped me survive calculus and english
• When you helped me during my wisdom teeth stuff
• Etc.

I am so grateful for your friendship, and I am so happy you were born to my wonderful foster parents these 21 years ago.  And I tried to find pictures that described us best . . .

happy birthday audrey!

yep. I love him.

Last night, Cj had a work meeting so I started the first season of Vampire Diaries (don't judge. I needed a new show) fresh out of the shower with wet hair, in sweats, and curled up in a blanket. After he was done, he walked into my room and handed me a box of See's chocolates. Oh how I could not wait to rip of the wrapping paper and dig into chocolates while watching a dramatic pre teen soap opera! He asked me if I wanted to go get hot chocolate and I of course said no. Shorts, tank top, wet hair, cold weather, chocolates? I was content. Next thing I know, he has me flung over his shoulders as I'm yelling, "Ok, ok I'll walk! I'll walk!" Nope. He didn't let me walk. So we walked out of my apartment, with me still flung over his shoulder, and blood rushing to my head.

Once I was in his car with the car door closed so there were no means of escape, I saw a certificate on the dashboard. Yes. My future hubby won an award at his work meeting. 100% on time. Atta boy. We got 7 eleven hot chocolate and he introduced me to irish creme instead of french vanilla. Conversion happened people. Then I had a sudden craving... cheese fries! My sweet fiance then headed on over to JCW's were I ordered not only cheese fries, but a bacon avocado swiss cheeseburger. Heaven. Did I mention that I went to In N Out for lunch in work out clothes? Talk about being counter productive... All the while we sang to the radio and laughed about stories from our day.

Anywho, I just love this guy. And I can't wait to get married. Less than five months people!!

...

Shoot we are all just so busy, what a crazy time of year! Good luck to all of you going through finals right now!! and I cant wait to see everyone in just a week!

(this quote... random? Yes. I just really liked it for some reason.)
