Tagged: The 411 on my blogger peeps....

The rules about this tag:

1. Answer the questions about the list of friends and/or family on your blog.

2.. Tag other people. (Anyone who sees this is tagged!)

When did you meet the 1st and 2nd people on your list?

Ashle. I met Ashle just last December, but I already felt super close to her because I got to know her on... where else.... her blog! She is Oby's cousin who lives in the Seattle area, so I'm so glad we get to keep updated on what's going on and stay close even though she's so far away!

Cristy. I met Cristy, oh my word, probably seven or eight years ago. My memory's a little fuzzy on that one because it was so long ago! We were double dating pals at that time, and we had tons of fun together! I lost track of her, but I ran into her at Hobby Lobby about six months ago, then found her blog, and I was so excited! She has the cutest little fam and it's fun to see that they're doing so well.

What do you like about the 3rd and 4th people on your list?

Dianna. It's not what I like about Dianna, but which thing I like/love about her that I'm going to mention..... Hmmm, probably my favorite thing about Dianna (a.k.a. Double D) is her ability to fill up a room, she is so full of life, you can just feel it when you're around her! She is adventurous, kind, funny, spiritual, and basically just fabulous in general.

Emma. Unfortunately I don't know Emma nearly as well as I would like to. She is Oby's Aunt who lives far away! The only time I met her, Oby and I came late to a BBQ from the hospital with Chloe at the beginning of getting bad news, and we left early because we were exhausted. When I was there, I wasn't as social as I normally would have been, so.... But I do know that I like Emma's blogging skills, because I love getting to know her and keep up with her busy family's life over the internet!

What do you like best about the 5th and 6th people on your list?

Jamie Fred. (I know you're married now, but you'll always be Jamie Fred to me!) Oh this is too easy. Jamie and I have been friends our entire lives. We have been through it all together, and there is no question. My favorite thing about Jamie is her goofiness! She works as a pediatric nurse on the cancer floor at Primary Children's Medical Center. Those kids and her own kids are soooo lucky to have her!.... I am 100% certain she is always doing silly things, singing silly songs, belching to make them laugh, and still being caring, sweet, and wonderful. I love that girl more than words can say.

Jamie O. This Jamie is married to one of my closest high school pals. She is also Cristy's sister and it took Cristy and I awhile to figure out that connection. Anywho my favorite thing about Jamie is that she made my friend Matt ridiculously happy. I've never seen such a happy couple as those two on their wedding day! Oh, so sweet.

How long have you known the 7th and 8th people on your list?

Jen. I met cute Jen at a UPS BBQ about a year ago. Our husbands used to work together, but they've since moved onward and upward! I will never forget how stinkin' cute her little girls were and I felt like we were instant friends!

Kendra. I met Kendra about a year and a half ago, and I'm pretty sure the first time I met her was at her wedding! She married one of Oby's good pals, Ryan. We have definitely gotten to know each other on our blogs, and I always look forward to reading her uplifting posts and reading the comments she makes on my blog too! She's such a genuine and kind person.

What impresses you about the 9th and 10th people on your list?

Megan. As one of my favorite sisters-in-law, Megan has always impressed me! First of all, she is just adorable. But I think what impresses me most about cute Meggy is the relationship she has with the two men in her life. She and Nick complement each other so well, and they are obviously infatuated. She has a special way with all little kids, but it always has impressed me how naturally motherhood is for her.... she's so great with little Zeke! Nick and Ezekeil are definitely lucky to have her.

Molly. This is hard for me to put into words. I have such immense love and respect for my Mollz, it's hard to explain the way she impresses me. But I would have to say that her spirituality is what impresses me most. It is so funny that her name is Molly, because she is not your typical 'Molly Mormon' in any way. But the depth of her testimony and her relationship with Christ is evident in the way she interacts with people and lives her life. She is intensely honest and loyal. She is forgiving. She is charitable. She just gets the atonement in a very real way that has always impressed me and gets me a little teary, to be honest. She is a beautiful person.

What is a memory you have with the 11th and 12th people on your list?

Patrice. Well, this is easy since I only have one actual memory with her. We met only two weeks ago at our friend, Sarah's, wedding. As we chatted non-stop about all the things we have in common, her cute hubby Dan kept saying, "We have to be friends!" And he was right, we had to be friends, and so - we are. Oby and I compare that meeting to a King of Queens episode where they meet their first friends as a couple.... not his friends or my friends, but OUR friends! Our BFF's actually. =)

Rakelle. My favorite memory with Rakelle was just hanging out with her cute family in Boise. We did lots of fun things together way back in the day. There are almost too many memories to pick just one!

Say something nice about the 13th and 14th people on your list.

Shannon. She is a mother without a child. We used to both be primary teachers in my old ward. She and her husband did opening exercises once, and she did such a great job! I can tell that she genuinely cares about Chloe. She is going to be the best mom someday!

Taylor. Taylor is SO talented! She is an amazing hairstylist, an awesome cook, very crafty, and just one of those people you love to hate because she's good at everything she tries.... except for that one 'scooter vs the rose bush' fiasco.... Sorry, I had to go there, Tay! She's especially good at being a sister-in-law. Oh my gosh, we have had some fun times together! I'm so lucky. =)
