My Babies Are Married!

In Tampa, I was in the Young Womens presidency for about 3 years and I grew really close to the girls.  Tyson and I had the youth over to our house a lot and the girls were some of my best friends in Tampa.  We had Wii parties and played truth or dare, which included trick or treating the day AFTER Halloween while wearing mullet wigs and capes made of blankets, asking a neighbor to borrow some toothpaste, and licking toilet seats.  It was legendary.

We rolled down the hill in our backyard, stuck our faces in plates of whip cream to try to find the bubble gum, had birthday parties, baked goodies, made crazy faces, had sleepovers, and just had a ton of fun.  Just writing this is making me teary and making me miss those girls soooo much.  They knew I loved them and I knew they loved me. 

Three of my dear, sweet girls that are now 20-21 years old all got married within the last 8 months!  These girls are so strong in the gospel.  If you knew them like I know them, you would be so impressed at their character.  They are such great examples to everyone around them and they were all married in the temple!  I am so proud of them and I miss them all so much.  I consider them my little babies and I can't believe they're married!  These girls mean soooo much to me.

Aren't they so beautiful?
They're even more beautiful inside! 
(And that's saying a lot since they're gorgeous!)

I love my babies and I'm so happy for them!

  2. They are all so beautiful! Although I wasn't as close to them as you were, I do have a special place for them in my heart. And now, I just hope and pray for the YW that are in my group now...that someday they will be taking pictures outside the temples in which they are sealed. You were a great YW leader and I am sure these girls appreciate all you have done for them. You are awesome!
