Love 'em

So Allie and Erin came from far away to see me. They were my roommates in college. It seems like there are many different chapters in life you go through, high school, college, working, etc. Once you pass those chapters sometimes its hard to go back because you have moved on and grown. Well that is not true with these girls. We pick up right where we leave off. I was going to write all about our visit, but mostly we didn't do much. We honestly hung out and laughed and reminisced and ate and went out a little. I would rather "spotlight" these two girls.

Erin:

The first time I met Erin was the day she was moving into our Provo apartment. I was really intimidated by her because she was really pretty. That intimidation quickly went away after the first week because we went running early in the morning and she got what we call "runner's poo." I will spare you the details, but all I can say is she quickly became my friend after words. I remember that Erin could not write a paper for school. Don't get me wrong, she is a smart girl, it was always just a mental block. It usually took her a stressful 24 hour period to write a one page paper. This is because she would do anything but write the paper. She would hang out, go out to eat, clean, etc then we would find her awake at 3 in the morning scrambling to finish. Erin always had dates, every weekend. Every boy would fall in love with her and she was too nice to break it to them that she didn't like them so they would keep asking her out and she would go! This girl broke a lot of hearts! She has taught me a lot! She will alway listen to your opinion and is probably the most thoughtful and helpful person I have ever met.

Allie:

This girl is hilarious. She lives for awkward moments. She was a ballerina at UVSC and we would make fun of her because no matter what we were doing IE: watching TV, eating, etc she would be sitting in the most ridiculous position with pointed toes. She always loved to make movies and has some pretty bad black mail in her possession. She taught me the "Beat it" dance and I taught her Eminem's "Loose yourself" dance. Al loves little kid food. Her meals would consist of marshmallows and peanut butter. Sometimes she would look like a 40 year old woman. It would happen when she worked long hours, after going to school, had not showered for a couple of days, had pink eye and had to wear her big glasses and sweats. We loved it! Allie will always sincerely laugh at your jokes, even if they aren't funny. She is always fun to be around.

Thanks for coming to visit me. The really cool part was that we flew in a professional photographer to take our pictures.

Matt, Allie's husband decided to drop in on the fun. Sorry you were the fifth wheel Erin... he he actually Travis was in heaven to see Matt. He loves this guy! We missed John (Erin's husband). I have to shout out a special thanks to him for all the grunt work he does lifting heavy bags for Frontier Airlines which allowed these girls to be able to fly here. He is an amazing photographer. (dude you totally owe me, do you know how many hits I get on this thing... jokes)

Oh and I have to mention little Kate. She is Matt and Allie's little daughter and Avery's potential BFF. They were cute together.

The Lego exhibit is coming in town this Summer. You know that plus the KC BBQ and the local Red X can't keep the McFarlands away for too long. And Erin, I will come visit you soon in San Fransisco... I'm praying for that marathon.

Can't wait till the next trip!
