My men!

Well, okay. Since the only person who really cares if i update is Jen then I see it is only right to pay tribute to her husband over something he did that was VERY nice over 10 years ago. On Jayne's blog i commented on how her husband was my favorite at the moment because he very willingly put up a chair rail in our family room and our master bathroom. Well then Jen reminded me why her husband should be my favorite and then I felt I couldn't go without giving Nick the "honorable mention" award. Here is the story....
In 1996 i lived in Provo, Utah where I was studying boys. One such crush was a guy named Mike, I think, and he worked at Wilson Leather in the University Mall. There was a huge sale one night that allowed "employee's friends and family" discounts. Big discounts. Well, if you know my sister Jen she is SOMETIMES in the "buying" and hmm, hmm, "needing" mode. Well she had mentioned to me that she "seriously" needed a leather jacket. Well the night of the sale i went in there with no money, but came out loving this certain jacket. At the same time, i saw one that I knew Jen would LOVE!!!! Instead of thinking of how I wanted my jacket, but knew that i had ZERO money, i secretly called up Nick and said "Nick, there is this jacket that i know Jen would love, I think you should send me $120.00 bucks and I will go get it for her, from you? He laughed and said, " That girls does not need another leather jacket, no way."(something like that... we're talking 96'). So I said "Okay, you're probably right" and hung up. Well low and behold, if it wasn't probably 3 days later, i get an envelope in the mail from Nick with $250 buckaroo's in it. He enclosed a letter and told me to get Jen's and to get myself the one I wanted too. Can you believe that? Does your Bro in law send you $150 to get a leather jacket? I already loved nick at that point, but my love grew a ton that day. In fact, one of those boys i used to study, dumped me because I talked about Nick too much! I think Jayne had one of them too. Anyway, Nick you are awesome. Sorry John Layne, you might need to give me a chairrail in my bedroom now to top that!

I am so bummed, because i found the perfect picture of my jacket, but our scanner isn't plugged in! These will get the point across of the male's in my life


My main man... Who didn't dump me despite all my boy crazyness.
My little bro who has the best driver's license face.
My older bro who is still a kid too!Jayne's man...chairrail guy.
Nick, leather jacket man
Rob, awesome story later about proposal to sister
Best man, that made us all want to marry the "best men"

WELL WHAT DO YOU KNOW?!!! There IS justice in the world. That was so kind--Nick is snottin right now with emotion. What a gal. What a post. Treat yourself!

Jayne Layne said...

There ya go. I really like that one! Great pics. Maybe you should get a better picture of Jon though...

Mitch said...

Wow, thanks for choosing pretty much the worst picture i have ever seen of myself. Let's try harder next time to find one that is semi-attractive.

And jon gave me 50 bucks for my birthday once. It was while he was dating john though. So i figure it was just so that i'd get his back instead of trents. but hey, IT WORKED!! But then again, Nick is like my father i never really talked to.

JENNIFRO said...

Mitch--GOOD ONE, about Nick, that is. Also, I'm just NOW finding out that Jon dated John. DISTURBING!!

Jayne Layne said...

Mitch, I thought you had my back! Why didn't you tell me Jon and Johnny were shacking up! That was hilarious about Nick!
