"It's
a curious thought, but it is when you see people looking ridiculous that you
realize just how much you love them"
Nearly
7 years ago I met this Dallas Cowboy lovin', Aggie obsessed, Arlington
native at a "Pimps and Hoes" Party (don't judge) when I
was a freshman at Texas A&M. Little did I know in that moment
surrounded by an array of skanky costumes and pimp canes my life would never be
the same. I fell in love and am currently still falling. He is my best
friend, the love of my life, the reason I laugh every single day, and to
this day I still get butterflies before I see him. On May 2, 2013, he
got down on one knee and proposed. We will be getting married on February 15th,
2014. CANNOT WAIT! |
The Daughter and The Shep-Monster
"Every day I strive to be the person my dog thinks I
am"-Martina McBride
Meet
Chanel. This very rare black and white fox dog stole my heart
the moment I met her. If you know me you know I don't particulary like
children. She is my child and if you don't like her, I don't like you. She is
extrememly smart and has us trained more than we have her trained. She
makes noises that have never came out of a dog and I truly believe she is
trying to talk. She is the best spooner and impossible to be mad
at.

Also
say hello to Mr. Shep. This little guy came into our lives by complete
accident. After hearing about him running from flood waters and hiding under
cars, Trevor and I rescued him and planned to bring him to shelter since we
both lived in apartments at the time and didn't think it was a good idea to
have another dog. However, as God would have it, the shelter was completely
full and asked us to be foster parents for a while until they found him and
home. You see how well that worked out. He's is so calm and after some TLC he
has just developed the sweetest and most playful personality.
The "Housewife"
“Friendship
isn’t about who came first or who you’ve known for the longest, it’s about who
came and never left."
Lauryn and I met in college because her (at the
time) boyfriend was rooming with Trevor. It was comical because we actually
grew up right down the road from each other but didn’t meet until we were both
attending Texas A&M (whoop!) This girl is my soul sister. I talk to her
more than I talk to the fiance' somedays. She knows everything about me and still
loves me. She is always there for me and has shared my excitement in every big moment in my life for the past 5 years which is why she is also serving a co-maid of honor on my
big day.
The Lappy
"Cousins by blood, best friends since birth."
Once
upon a time there were two little girls sitting inside a house while their
parents were drinking beer BBQing outside. One girl had an
obsessed weirdo boy who kept calling the house over and over again. The girls
came up with the evil brilliant idea to gather up pots and
pans and BANG them together directly in front of the phone. This lead to many
tears being shed because the two little girls were laughing so hard. The end.
:)
So
yes the story above is indeed about me and my sister cousin
Ashley, also known and Lapey because of her ridiculous lengthy last name of
"Lapeyrolerie". She is my lifetime best friend/sister who I know will
always be there for me.
The "Family"
"Friends are the family we choose for ourselves"
So
the people pictured above over the past 5 years have become the responsible crazy
brothers and sisters I never had. I met most of them my freshman year at
A&M through my former BFF (Thanks buddy, if you ever happen to read
this-sarcasm intended) and made many memories countless nights in
College Station. The greatest part is after I graduated from A&M I moved to
Houston and got the privilege of living in the same town with all of them
again. WOO! We share a love for all that is Maroon and White, Puppy Dogs, and
Tailgating. There is never a dull moment with this group and I couldn't ask for
a better "Family". The two girls in the top picture, Jessica
and Marina and like my sisters. I just adore them. They have always been there
for me and I'm so glad that we will be in each other's lives forever.
| The Rest of the Girls (and one guy) |
 
Abby. Where to begin...we HATED each other when we first met. And
for quite some time after that. But, as fate would have it, she is now one of
my dearest friends and I absolutely adore her. Even though I have had more
fights with her than anyone else I have ever been friends with, that's part of
the reason I feel we are so close. We always managed to find our way back to
each other ready to "try again". We have been living in
"friendship" bliss for some time now and we both intend to keep it
that way. She can make me laugh on command and she loves with all her
heart.
Emily is my lovely poised ghetto booty dancing white girl.
She's got the biggest heart and it a gem of a friend. Through Lauryn, we
have gotten to be great friends and I love her dearly. You will never meet
someone who is more genuine and kind, as this girl. And for that I
love her dearly.

Ashley has quickly became one of my dearest friends and
fellow wino. We had both recently moved to Houston and decided to randomly go
have wine together one night. The night went surprisingly well and we have
gotten very close over the past year. We can seriously
talk for hours. Honesty is this girls thing, she will always shoot
straight with you.

Oh this
guy. This is my wild, crazy, yet very responsible best guy friend.
(He wishes to remain anonymous) Over the past 6 years he has become one of
my closest friends who makes me laugh uncontrollably and often. He is
a constant inspiration to live life the fullest and one day he will be in my
wedding.
