BFF

We were recently looking through old pictures on our computers, and found a bunch that we had forgotten about. We probably forgot about them on purpose because they were too hideous to post on facebook or anything. Anyway, as we were looking back on all the ugly photos that were too embarrassing to show to anyone, we realized how much we like them because they show how much fun we have together, as well as how comfortable we have always been together. We have been best friends for years, and we decided to make a little blog about our friendship, and include some of those never-before-seen pictures of grossness! Let's start back in High School . . .
High School
Most of the time, we hung out as a 4-some with Lindsey and Joe, but we have several good memories of just the two of us. For example:

• Once we went rollerblading together at the Greenway. Along the path, there were tons of stones recognizing contributors to the park. They were on the ground and looked just like gravestones. So, we spent our whole journey mourning the "deaths" of all of them. "Oh, poor Standard Paint and Abbey Carpet. Both of them?! Such a tragedy!" So embarrassing, but our favorite memory from back then.

• We had our first kiss outside of Joe's house when I was 17 and Rob was 18.
  

• My 16th birthday: After a stake dance, Lindsey and I decided to straighten Joe's curly hair and curl Rob's straight hair.
  

• Rob was Joseph in his high school's "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat." I went to watch it a few times. Joe and Rob used to tease me about clapping my hands sideways or rubbing my legs when I was nervous or something. There was this one part of the play where Rob was in the front of the stage and all the other cast members were singing to him, and he was supposed to look a little uncomfortable. So, of course, he picked me out in the audience, looked me in the eye, and clapped his hands sideways, then rubbed his legs.

Mission
We wrote to each other occasionally throughout Rob's mission and sent a few tapes to each other. It wasn't until the last 6 months or so of his mission that we started writing consistently. Yesterday, we looked at some of the old letters we would write to each other, and they were so funny! We had the best letters. Even though we were only buddies during his mission, we always started our letters with the most awkward terms of endearment. Here is a sample of some of them:
Dear Sugarcake, Twinky Lips, Cottontail Bunnyfluff, Schnookums, Sweaty Pie, Sugarmuffin, Lovekins, Kissy-Wissy Lips, Wuffie Minkle Crinkle Drops. (We'll let you decide who came up with which of those) :)

Dating
We always had the best times together and were comfortable being totally dorky.

Morning Picture!

Lots of road trippin'!
We once decided to Simpsonize ourselves on some website . . .

Then thought it would be funny to dress up like our Simpson characters and take the following pic.

This picture of Rob cracks us up every time. It might be better if you enlarge it.

And we definitely tried taking super cheesy pictures of me and a rose one day.

We like to eat together

And we LOVE candy!

On the way back to college one year after Christmas, we decided to eat a chocolate Santa. It was messy. And we tried taking the grossest pictures we could!

Engagement

Definitely laughed too hard for any kissing pictures.

Marriage

We are so happy that we are not only in love, but we are also best friends for eternity!
