Once upon a time.

in a far far away land

(an hour to be exact. bountiful)

there lived a lovely bestie-ship trio..

that i was {and am} honored to be apart of.

we were tied together.

you couldn't fine one without the other 2.

if one was out of town {chan that was usually you. hello hawaii and cruises}...

then the 2 left would have to entertain each other.

almost always always always people say 3 is a crowd.

and i have found that with every group of three there has ever been except

ours.

$195,380.43 spent on gas money. our favorite thing was to cruise.

asking or answering to dances.

linds tripping at apollo burger-pouring root beer all over chan.

taking 1 billion pictures.

many nights at the cemetery. we loveeed a good cemetery.

all of us getting our first jobs at rumbi island grill.

getting free kiddie cones at artic circle.

football games.

midnight showings at the gateway.

going to our houses for lunch.

painting lindsey's bug bites with nail polish.

countless adventures were had and stomachs were constantly hurting from the laughter.

Chandler Anne, who is also an energy milk model, was the ladies man. No, no that is backwards. She was the man's lady? Well whatever it is--she was IT! Linds and i have numerous accounts where we'd have to hang out with her and her boyfriend at the time. Everyone adored her, who wouldn't? We lived through Chan's so-called "love life." She was the one we would send off to the dances, while lindsey and i found better things to do. Chandler is most known for her laugh. It is unlike anybody or anything you have ever heard. I am most certain she will still have her "cackle" when she is old and gray.

Lindsey Cheree, who is also a former model/actress, was the fashion girl. We would be going running or even to the grocery store and she'd be stylin'. She is a master at hair and makeup. She always had the music {new or old} to show us and that we would later be obsessed with. I could know Lindsey's handwriting anywhere. Not because it was bad or anything...i loved it. it's weird, I just have always loved it. Lindsey always made a bad or tense situation light hearted and HILARIOUS. It was constant entertainment for me-a chain reaction. Anything that would come out of Linds mouth would have an imediate laughing response from Chandler.

well finally the impossible happened. the trio had to widen it's love range of location a bit. My family moved to Provo, UT the summer before my senior year of high school. I was devestated. New friends? impossible. Graduate with total strangers and without my other halfs? no way. This was one of the hardest things I have had to go through but I -Laaaater down the road- figured out it in fact WAS the plan for me. . .
although it was hard at times to see life at "home" continue on without me, I am glad that each one of us had amazing senior years.

graduating time happened.

aren't they beautiful?

yeah, i'm inbetween them.

life continues to march on. and although years have passed and we are all each an hour apart from each other. . .communication technology is a glorious thing. and once we are back together the chain reaction starts back up again. i know for certain that they will be my life friends because they already have proven that to me. i love chandler anne and lindsey cheree with everything.

now what is the point of all of this? i would ask myself the same question-although who wouldn't want to talk about these lovely ladies? but don't worry, there is a point.

since at least the 9th grade we have talked about weddings..who the guy will be..where it will be..how old will we be..what are the colors..a promise we would be in each other's wedding..and who will be married first.

The time has come ladies and gentleman to announce: LINDSEY CHEREE will be first to win the race called marriage.

don't worry i'm tagged in spirit right there next to linds. so sad i missed this moment but getting that special call, i will never forget.

Due to lame location of the three of us, we have YET to even meet my love's special person but i know lindsey and i know she has picked the right one. so thrilled for our lindsey baby and the life she will have with her new husband.

Chan? You're next babe. . .
