my extended ohana

you know how every once in a while someone comes along that just makes you really happy. you adore them. they make your smile broader. your step lighter. your heart fuller. your life better.

for me, she is one of those someones...

and her husband is pretty awesome too.
we took a waytooearlyinthemorning...especiallyforspringterm psych class together
and the four of us stayed up way too late playing on-line word scrambling somethingorother games.
go team castecheldan!

i was about to pop with my first born.
they were about to leave the island.

meet the larsens... you'll love 'em!

the laie 5

these girls have been friends since elementary school, and we had a blast together!

the sisterhood of the travelling pearls

so there's a slight possibility (like sumo wrestler "slight") that we had to hop a fence to get to one of the locations for this shoot. there's another, related, slight possibility that i was wearing yoga pants that are almost 4 years old (read: really threadbare cotton) that caught on the fence and ripped knee to ankle. bummer, yah, but better than a knee to hip rip, don't ya think?

just take note how the fence doesn 't have a top bar... when's the last time you tried to hop a topless fence?? let me tell ya... don't.

meet the E bldg. girls: angie, hillary, kim, melissa, and shanae. they live in Temple View Apartments (AKA BYU-H married housing), and they're tight like spandex in the 80s.

i would tell you about how fun the shoot was, and how it was CRAZY windy, and how it's a miracle to get five, grown, laughing women to all look at the camera at the same time, but you know what they say... a picture says a thousand words.
