I'm not so sure anymore???

So I got new glasses and at first I thought they were so cute...
but recently EVERY TIME I look in the mirror I see Grandpa Priest looking back at me.... do you see why?!?!?



I want to post some pictures of my grandparents just because I found them hidden in my stack of CD's and they were by far some of my FAVORITE people! When I die I know Grandma Priest will have a party planned for me when I arrive... you just had to know her!!!
some of her own words to the police officer who picked her up for speeding
"I just can't keep up this this damn gum!"
He told her it was the first time he had heard that excuse.
she chewed it a little fast... ahhh I love that women!
Along with other memories of mom and grandma shoving money down each others shirts at the grocery store fighting over who was going to pay for it. Grandma always sent me on a secret mission to stash money in our house somewhere where mom would notice it later. After grandma had gone home.
Oh! and one more.

When my dad went over to my moms house for the first time my grandma said
"come in and take your clothes off... Oh oh oh no no no I mean your coat off your coat!"
haa haa funny! My dad liked he right away :0)

I like the new glasses. Of course Nolan had similar ones pre lASIK so maybe that is why. Your grandparents sound so fun. I love the old pictures of you. Quite the hair do!

Chy! It's been a while. I've been out on the blogging world and now I'm back with a vengeance! I love your new glasses, however I am also biased because my glasses are very similar. :0)

That was so cool! I loved all of the old pictures and stories! I think your glasses are cute, and I like your bangs! Mesa Falls sounds fun, I've heard it is beautiful, it makes me a little nervous, just because I've never seen it and I've heard there are hills. I think I will still do Boise for sure, even if I do Mesa. But, we'll see how I'm feeling at the end of the summer! I'll keep in touch!
