On the very first day of freshman orientation at BYU, I met Steven. We have been bff ever since, and this month he broke up with me and moved to Texas to get a fancy-schmancy phd in genetics. Down side: my tv/shopping/movies/eating/everything buddy has left me, but the plus side: he moved to Dallas (home of Neiman Marcus as well as a Sprinkles cupcake shop, so visiting might not be so bad), and his departure gave us an excuse to have an "Adios, Partner!" party with the Catanos. What does such a party entail? Dinner at Texas Roadhouse, western wear......and photos at the Wal Mart portrait center. O.M.G.



I don't even know where to start. Yes, these photos were taken at WalMart by a photog named....wait for it...Angel. Yes, I am tan as can be (this was two days after I got back from my week long vacay in California). Yes, Poppy is wearing a custom made onesie that Lindsay made with the state of Texas that says "I Love" and then a picture of Steven's face. And yes, we laughed to the point of tears all through the entire session, all through dinner, and when I picked up the prints and took them to Lindsay's birthday dinner.

What everyone DOESN'T know is that genius of these pics were all us. Poses, costumes, props, sound effects... ALL US.
