AB Highlights

ONE
Large cousin gatherings where I get to see in real life my favorite people to blog stalk

TWO
Mormon Fight Club. Nuff said.


 THREE
Daddy Daughter Runs.
Even tho it only 
happened once.

FOUR
Family

FIVE
Being an awesome finder of things lost.
SIX
Bonnie's winter hair.
Its magically delicious.

SEVEN
Remembering that time when Cody was always straddling Bonnie.
I still laugh about it.

EIGHT
Secrets

NINE
The Leishmans.
Monday Bachelor with Scott.
February gym with Bonnie.

TEN
These three girls.
I hated New Years. But I loved these three.
ELEVEN
The epic snow cave.

TWELVE
Tea with the girls.
THIRTEEN
Mini golf in the Leishman Picture Butte home.
FOURTEEN
Celebrating holiday cheer in style.

FIFTEEN
These little slave drivers.


SIXTEEN
An epic date with a boy that liked me.

SEVENTEEN
Ben's love.
I dont know how else to describe it, but being 
home allowed me to witness Ben.
I love how he was with Ryder, or the cousins.
Its a shame not many people see him for who he really is.
They cant seem to get past his defensive bluster.
But he's brilliant and so very loyal.

EIGHTEEN
Being brave.

NINETEEN
Calgary Shenanigans

TWENTY
Welcoming Baby Girl.
TWENTY-ONE
Music

TWENTY-TWO
Annual Snowboard Trip

TWENTY-THREE
Funerals.
Maybe I'm awful, but for me funerals are never sad.
They're a time when everyone gathers to be together.
You spend time with each other and laugh and drink in being family.
And there's nothing sad about it.

TWENTY-FOUR
Roast off.
Everyone wins in a roast off.

TWENTY-FIVE
Reading parties.
My father 
(brothers, aunts and uncles) 
may mock me for this
but I loved this.

TWENTY-SIX
Iohane.
This here is a solid kid.

TWENTY-SEVEN
Trifle.
Nobody beats the younger generation trifle.
And I dont usually even like trifle.
TWENTY-EIGHT
Dear Katie.
When she loves me the world feels right.
But when she doesnt... Dont even get me started.

TWENTY-NINE
Dance Parties.
These children are ridiculous.
Ridiculously hardcore dancers.

THIRTY
Last but definitely not least...
Alaya
She made going to work everyday fun.
I laughed alot. Seriously a ton.
And even though I'm ridiculous, she ran with it.
We ate lunch together everyday.
We hid out in GA.
I adore so much about Alaya.

Of all the posts i've ever back-stalked/read, this is my favorite. Love the pictures, love everything. Hahaha, I was reading it...and the more I read, the more I was like 'come on...you aren't giving me a shoutout? Really?!' All I get is a creeper in the background half face shot in your fight night pic? ....Din't make the Ten list, ...didn't make the 20 list... then I got to the end and realized you DO love me! Almost as much as I love you. It made my life.

PS. Reading parties AREN'T lame, and you can't spell FUNeral without the word fun.

PPS. I love that we don't have any pictures of us together. And that you had to steal one from my facebook. And when I say 'love' I secretly mean 'Loathe' And in actuality, I do own one or two pictures of 'us'....though there may be one or two other people in them.

Ok, I loved this post so much, i felt the need to go reread the whole thing. And then I felt the need to comment...again. I miss you.

so i felt a heck of a lot of love with this post.

a. mormon fight club = lethbridge may or may not have some level of coolness attached to it. this def started the christmas season off right.

b. i'm glad that we went on a daddy-daughter run, but with you as your dad, and me as the daughter. i will cherish that run forever.

c. the fact that those 2 pictures shown of my bad hair, were definitely on 2 separate days. and on each occasion someone tried to help me (aka you and trent), and the hair situation still couldn't be remedied.

d. that you actually caught cody straddling me. kinda ridiculous. and we obviously need to get new things for you to laugh about.......

e. the straight up love that you have for your friends.....i feel it. when you have a chance to read the talk from the CES broadcast, you will understand why I laughed and cried over this post.

f. post number 14 - my favourite.

g. 19 - also makes me happy - and corn dogs - i think i'm going to have them at my wedding.......bacon and corn dogs, best wedding ever.

h. one more highlight - pilates at your house - even though it didn't get a direct shoutout - i know you meant to.
