Paul & Sara: My Camp Verde Cousins! I love this family. Sara is gorgeous and has the best spirit about her. She would do anything for anyone and will do it gladly with a smile.

Rachael & Dan: Ah, my Rach! Long time friend - the first time we met was when her fiance (my crush at the time) introduced me to her.

Natalie,
I am so glad that you put the pictures on here. I read what you had said about people, but the pictures sure make it more fun. You look so beautiful in many of them. You are DDG. Do you know what that means? Do you remember in Sleepless in Seattle when the girl would just say the letters for what she meant? I just did that for you! Aren't I nice? So, what does DDG mean? Emily
Wow! It looks like you really lived it up after high school...traveleing and playing and just having tons of fun! It was fun to read about all of your blog people. I love all of the pictures and completely agree with what others said...you look so pretty and are very photogenic! Hikes to Three Falls, tumbling in your basement, and doing gymnastics was tons of fun!
That was so fun. I forgot about the pizza factory shirts...I bet those boys still wear them around missing us. Haha, I really am kidding.
SPUNKY? That's what I would have said about YOU lady. ME....probably more SNOTTY and SASSY than SPUNKY. But, thanks for the nice compliment! NAT, can you believe my hair in that picture of us at Venice Beach. I'm lame. But, I do need a copy of that picture of us in our lovely yellow "How-D" shirts. Can you email me a big one? Thanks!
