The Crew: Me, Jen, Rob, Jon, LeahI am sure that you all have heard about my dearest friends: Leah, Jon, Jen, and Rob. I talk non-stop about them: how perfect they are, how beautiful they are, and how I want to be just like them. Leah, Jon, and Jen and I were all friends at BYU. Then we were lucky to gain Rob when he married our wonderful Jen. This past weekend I took a long weekend and flew out to see them. Leah and Jon live in Texas with their precious angel, Logan. Jen and Rob live in Las Vegas. We decided to meet in California. We had a great time laughing about our many memories. However, what makes these friends so special is that even though we have not all been together for a year and a half, it seems like no time has passed. We are able to start right where we left. This is great because it means being able to have in-depth life and gospel discussions. I love their wonderful insights.
It was fun being the only single person in the group (other than Logan!) I liked to stand back at times and notice how my friends are changing. We are all in different parts of our lives and it is fascinating to see how each is moving into a different part of their lives. I watched as Leah and Jon take on the new role of parents and how that affects who they are. They are still themselves but everything revolves around Logan. I also enjoyed being with Jen and Rob as they are forming their marriage. Thanks to all of them for giving me advise and letting me ask endless questions. Heaven knows I need the help!
The first day we spent together was at Huntington Beach. We enjoyed playing with Logan, reading, and talking about our lives. That night we went to a great Italian restaurant where they serve five course meals. We ate so much food -- in fact, I gained 5 lbs. that night!

I have no doubt that your friends are great...forgive me for freely admitting jealously on behalf of the MJ east coast contingent of friends as we have to share time with the left coast. Quite frankly it's not something I am currently comfortable with...
Worlds are colliding...if we have to, we will settle this through gentlemanly means...
Dan -- I have room in my heart to love my West coast and East coast friends. You need not feel insecure.
The only thing that would have made this prefect is that if I was there. I sure miss those girls & plasma Jon OH and you need to gain 5 lbs
