Stanwood Dinner

The girls and I had our monthly dinner in Stanwood on Wednesday night. We normally hit up the local Mexican restaurant where we use a 2 for 1 coupon and split fajitas, but for the Holidays we decided to mix it up. We enjoyed a tasty dinner and wine at the Stanwood Grill. Karli planned a interesting gift exchange where we found ourselves passing lip gloss, bunny crackers, gum, and another item every time the word "the" was said in the story Twas the Night Before Christmas. Imaginative...... yes...........a bit long.....perhaps..........totally Karli - absolutely! Lets just say I walked away with a 6 pack of Busch Light and 2 Sparks. I Can't wait to crack those open and relive my college days ;)

Looking at this picture makes me smile. I remember meeting each one of these girls freshman year of college and continue to cherish there friendship everyday.

Lis
We washed our face every night at Regence and never spoke one word the entire first semester. Then end up sleeping with our beds pushed together on the porch of AGD's the next 2 years. Even though you called me fat, turned me into a stalker, and made fun of my Merle Norman products I will always love you. You are one of the most loyal friends I have ever had - never judging me for any of my many mistakes or flaws and I will always be grateful.

Karli Sue
I was a little unsure about you when we became "twins" in the house. I still remember thinking "I don't know about this Karli girl, she just doesn't talk." Thank god for that walk around campus and you singing "I did it all for the nooky" at the top of your lungs! You are my Go-To friend for questions about anything - even though your answers are only 75% true (wink wink) and perhaps one of the nicest people I have ever met.

Beck
Not that I don't have college memories with you, but nothing tops our memories of living in Vegas. The memories we created will always be near and dear to my heart. We did things young people should and we will NEVER share with our children. You are a breath of fresh air and always make my heart smile.


Lisa - How is that wine and more importantly has your candle topper found a home?

Becki and Karli looking cute

This post makes me want to cry. It is your best one yet. I had to read it to wade. However, he did state that you over estimated a bit. According to him i am only right about 50% of the time.
