Happy B-Day Briti!!!

So I thought it only appropriate to give a little shout out to my girl Briti...cause she is in fact turning the big 24 today! She wanted me to send her 24 things that she would love but apparently she hasn’t heard that I’ve been unemployed for the past 8 months. So instead....24 reasons I love her! (And I’m not going to pull a Jason and do a few repeats!!!)

1. Because she’s my best friend in the whole world. TB 4-ever!
2. Cause she let me talk her into dating Jason for the first few months!
3. Cause she lets me wear all her cute clothes...even if she hasn’t worn them yet.
4. Cause she always thinks my dance moves are seriously the best!
5. Cause she’s freaking gorgeous...and sometimes people think I’m her sister!!!
6. Cause she lets me assist her at hair school.
7. Cause she feels she has a special power when I’m around her! (but I don’t have your back when the big lezbo’s want to beat you up!!!)
8. Cause...”note to self - never wear a white mini-skirt”
9. Cause she let me make her kiss 21 boys on her 21st birthday.
10. Cause she got me in trouble by her mom the day before I went into the MTC for taking her to the “White House”
11. Cause she’s grosser than I ever DREAMED! (J calls it “demented”)
12. Because she sang a duet with me at the Colosseum in Italy and received a standing ovation!
13. Cause she wants to one day play the harp and I know she will. ( and i wanna play the accordion!)
14. Cause she sometimes tries to out-do my jokes and makes me laugh really really hard at her attempt!
15. Cause she will always do my hair for free and not be mad that I don’t leave a tip!
16. Cause we’ll grow old together and be like the old ladies you see at the mall that have too much makeup on and wear crazy colored big hats!
17. Cause if she gets rich first she’ll pay for some sweet best friend excursions for us to take!!! ( Right back at ya!)
18. Cause she tried to teach me how to kiss a boy...and demonstrated on her hand!
19. Cause she’d go to jail for me!
20. Because we can do nothing but watch t.v. and eat all day and I don’t feel lazy or fat around her. She just thinks it’s as fun as I do!!!
21. Cause she married the best person in the world and the 3 of us are a little happy family!!! I love my J!!!
22. Cause she’s married and when boys are checking her out I can point that out and she follows up with a, “But she’s single...want to go out with her?”...yeah thanks a lot Briti!
23. Cause when I wrote her my letter she knew I was sincere and teared up!
....and the best reason I love my Briti.....
24. Because she missed me as much as I missed her and is IRREPLACEABLE!!!!

Happy 24th Briti - Hope you have a fun day with Jason. Tell him to call me if he’s needing any ideas! I’ll see you two soon and am counting down the days!!!

I Love Dutch...Much

The greatest day yet in my life has finally arrived! My baby boy was born! Well, I guess he’s not actually mine - but he’s as close as you can get to being mine without literally having given birth to him.
So last week Lindsey called me while I was still in Utah to tell me she finally had a date for the baby’s birth. I was immediately packing my bags ready to head home to Ca. I spent a few days helping my bestest friends ever - Briti & J - packing up their house and even took a little detour in Vegas with Seth’s kids. But soon enough Sat. night I was home waiting for the arrival of little Dutchy!
Lindsey and Micah went into the hospital Sunday night to get the process going. Early Monday I was called by Micah and told she was dilated to a 2 and better hurry up and get there. I could hardly believe the day was actually here. I was so quick to jump out of bed I forgot about my throbbing toe and fell immediately to the ground in pain. I managed to take a fast shower and chose not wash my new nasty haircut. I have yet to learn how to fix my latest lesbian do and wasn’t about to waste time worrying about it on Dutch’s BIRTHday.
So off I went to the hospital. They didn’t have a wheelchair to bring me in with, but they did allow me to park in the 20 minute parking all day. On my way to the hospital I called my good friend Dr. Reimer (retired head orthopedic surgeon in So. Ca.) and asked him about a handicap pass for myself as my foot was in some great pain. He thought my request was quite humorous...I still don’t see the humor and would really like to know how I can get my hands on a handicap pass while my little toe heals up!!
Well it was some time before my little baby made his debut, but well worth the wait! He is the sweetest cutest little 7 pounder thing I have ever seen! They have yet to choose a definite name but Dutch and Tristan are in the running. I’m personally a fan of both! I think he should be name after me - you should see how much he looks like I did when I was a baby. The name is quite fitting I think! His eyes are a little swollen so we’re not sure if he’s got the Asian thing going on or what. I will be sleeping with him for his two night stay at Mission Hospital and can hardly wait to coozie up next to him! That’s my Baby Boy!!!
