For the sake of Sarah Orme

I might have left out this little detail that Sarah might appreciate. You can thank Bryan Jensen and his clan for penny tapping our house. How did I find this out you ask, because he did it to us when we lived in Chandelle. It came up while watching the good old Utah Jazz and I guessed it and they told me. Trust me I only found out a couple of weeks ago.

We must thank.... Mandi for not allowing sarah to call the police. ME for risking my entire life walking down to the basement to save Mandi and Sarah after a death call, Harold and Kellee for staying up till 3 AM and Herald being so brave. Reb for not even waking up, and Kylie for staying sound asleep or we may have all be sleeping in one bed in one room!

What a great night!

for the love of the shoppe, GT's and -ulls

Here's a post so Kylie can know that her efforts to keep the candy shoppe together forever will not be in vain- and I hope this is a a guilt trip to the rest of you who haven't posted either. :) Well 3/6ths of the shoppe is having fun in NYC but definitely feeling like half of us is missing. Life is great out here but I think contentment would be at an ultimate max if we had the remaining 3/6ths here and our house and of course the never to be forgotten, couch. oh the couch. I think I could spend the rest of my days lost in the comfort of that couch... and preferably with you all in heaps around me- sort of like kittens as I think one of you (most likely sarah) said. ahh, what GT's in the ol' shoppe. Thinking about it brings up similar feelings to when I came home from london and missed it. I miss the shoppe like I miss 27 palace court. sigh. I'll have to keep tellnig myself that change is good. But for now I want to remember all the great times in the shoppe and perhaps list a few of my favorite moments with you all:

Best and worst each night, all of us being able to cry to each other, buddies again in 2010 and other sunday treat night parties, THE COUCH, the penny-tapping (it's a lot funnier looking back... right sarah?), the time we played nerts all the time for like 2 weeks, DP and chocolate donut runs, being picked up from campus on cold days, watching movies all the time, hanging out in the loft, hanging out in me and sarah's room, sharing that room, kylie calling mandi and sarah "mean girls!", notes on the mirror in our bathroom, eating ravenously after church on fast sunday.. and every other sunday, bringing home banana bread and having it gone in 4 hours, the treat corner, big sandwiches with mike morris, getting sick from panda express but still being worth it, brown bear, polar bear, and pink bunny, reb's dance moves and kylie's cheers, the scary room (just kidding!!!), the room of requirements, reb's band practice, sitting on the porch on warm days, coveting mary jane's hair everyday, QUINCEANERA!! going to cougar football games and eating cougar tails, being polygamist's wives for halloween and mary jane having the biggest poof of my life, sharing 6 closets, putting -ulls/ells to the end of every word- "sarulls is madulls at meulls," our hip ward and the boyfriends we had in them, hating on jury duty,setting an acronym to everythign: GT's, LML, FML, NOML (need to organize my life- a kylie original) etc., hearing about mandi's work stories about her crazy girls, candy shoppe photo shoots, and many many more great memories.. feel free to add more as I am sure I missed many!

Well I have to say this list made me very happy but also a little emotional. I miss those days dearly but am so grateful to have all of you in my life and have the best senior year of college a girl could ever ask for. Luckily for us kylie made this blog (another shamelesss plug for the CS blog)to keep us close AND we are still planning to go to San Fran at the end of the summer right???? I'm still planning on it and I am pretty sure mandi has filled her quota for jury duty for a long time, so we should be good. Just think of all the fun times we could have- and it could be the start of a great reunion we do every year or so for like the rest of our lives. fun.

Ok so think about the trip and maybe we could start throwing around dates for when e can go. I love you all and LONG LIVE THE CANDY SHOPPE!!
