Me, Natalie, and Niki

I so loved getting together with these girls. Natalie is living in Vegas now, and Niki was in town visiting her family and was stopping in Vegas midway moving from Washington to NYC.

I think the reason I love being with these girls so much, is because they really know me well.

I think I saw Natalie once in 2003, but before that I hadn't seen her since 2001.

Let's just get down the conversation highlights of the evening:

1. Discussing our "hell" of a sophmore year, living in the Granary, and how every day one of us was crying...sobbing, doors being slammed. Remember, Ty, this is right around the time when you were in the picture (pre-mission). Sierra, wasn't all that happy with you around this time. Apparently, Natalie found a audiotape that we made for our guy friends who were on missions our Sophmore year, but when Natalie listened to it a couple years ago, she says all you can hear is us talking and laughing amongst ourselves, and not talking to them at all. We are SO DAMN funny it's unbelievable. I'm really glad that the audiotape apparently never got sent. Nat says you can hear Adrienne in the background like calming us down...of course. We are so ridiculous it's embarrassing.

2. Budge boys. This conversation entailed the retelling of a so-called event in the history of our freshman year (1998) when the police showed up at Budge for some reason. And Whit Wright (of course) decided to make his appearance to the cops in a leopard speedo (or thong). Oh, and the kissing pole that apparently 3rd floor kept.

3. Me being 28 and ready to go (in all senses, but particularly one).

4. Lesbians, tree huggers in San Fran.

5. Niki being told by Adrienne's grandmother that her grandson has never put ice cream to his lips, and that Caleb shouldn't yet either.

6. Adrienne's parents hating Nat, Sierra, and I, because we decided we didn't care they didn't want us to go to the strip on New Year's Eve 2000. So, we went without Adrienne.

7. Me being off Facebook..."I don't want to know you." You're exposed to people you otherwise wouldn't be exposed to through Facebook, and it annoys me.

8. Crazy in-laws smoking pot.

9. Seeing Natalie's home they are building. We are getting so old and mature. I can't even believe it.

10. Being covered in vomit in the psych unit...Natalie's a nurse.

11. Garments. Wear them around the house? Or not?

12. Blogging. Greg's blog is ONLY Greg's blog and not Greg AND Natalie's blog. Whatever. It's the same thing.

13. Our reunion. NYC? Puerto Rico? Cabo? The real question? Why didn't we do it in San Fran ever?

I love you guys so much!
