We were became friends in our BYU married-student ward because you are totally awesome and one of the few real people in that ward. And, you saw me yell at my mom on the phone after having surgery while you were watching Carly (like usual) and you laughed--which made me love you even more. I don't have to win--I live far away, but I just wanted to wish you a happy 30,000 visitors!!!

Anonymous said...

I'm Samantha Roudabunyan. We know each other because I was your high school math tutor when I kept getting demoted from honors geometry to remedial geometry where you were. Ok, kidding of course. We're both total average mathematicians and you probably tutored me in the end I'm sure....

Summer said...

I am your neice summer. I am the coolest. And I babysit your kids for free whenever i am around. Just keep that in mind.

The Osborn Family said...

I am Alison Griffith and I know you because when I was outside your house blowing bubbles Isaac was on the deck watching so I invited you guys to come join us.

Really, though, I know you because I chose to get to know you because I could tell you were awesome way before we ever met.

P.S. Emilie...I call best friend. Just kidding. We can all love you.

Boquinha said...

I'm Stacy and you and I are smart enough to marry into the Foley family. And I introduced you to the world of blogging so that should TOTALLY count for like 10 entries!! However, if I had to vote for another commenter, it would be Jimmy. I like Jimmy. And I like that he likes our blog, too.

Jessica said...

I'm Jess and you know me from when I first performed my "song" that I sang/danced at my brother's farewell. And it's because of me that you were introduced to bagpipes! AND you were my only friend that I EVER let drive the T-Bird. So come on!!

Helena said...

I got to hold you when you were a brand new baby, and then you got to hold my summer (and logan, and hunter) when she was a brand new baby--how fun is that!
Plus, I have the most awesome cheerleading video of you ever!

J Fo said...

Hello. I am Jessica Michelle Cook Foley. One time I went to Red Robin with you and Dave, sans Greg. It was fun. And I can't believe that I wasn't more nervous. I knew then that we were meant to be sisters...in law. ;)

Julee said...

I'm Julee Irish. I can't remember exactly how I got to your blog, so I'll say blog hopping is how I got here. Now I'm a blog stalker because I {heart} your blog!

Rachel P said...

I'm Rachel Parrish and I've known you since we were about 5. We grew up in the same ward, went to the same high school, and recently got back in touch! Yay! Pick me, pick me! ;-)

Rachel said...

I'm Rachel Foraker, and we were in high school together - I think several honors english classes, and maybe some history classes? And I'm very glad to have found you here in blogland - you are so funny and cool! :-) (ps - I'm not just sucking up for a double entry, you really are funny and cool!)

The Gearharts said...

Wow, I am a bit late on this... I am Jolene, you know me from S tower, which I believe are now torn down ;(...I also think you bought me my first piece of lingerie...my husband thanks you for that.

Victoria said...

I'm Tori Lloyd. We are Meadows neighbors. You also watch Rachel when I have to run an errand or do homework. (You are heaven sent.) Your husband also serves in the EQ with my husband. And, we went to Girls' Night Out together which by the way I have to miss this month. You'll have to go for me, but please be home by 12:00!

Kelly(M&M) said...

Okay, I never win anything, so I thought I'd keep my streak alive. :-) I met you through your awesome sis and my study partner Ellen. I didn't find out how cool you are until I became addicted to your blog. I love our chats on facebook and someday we will talk again-in real life!

How bout you break my losing streak?!

christina said...

I'm late...oh well...

I am Christina. You know me because we lived together at Alpine Court. And you were an awesome roommate. I also was the third wheel a couple of times with you and Dave.

Emily said...

YES Christina! you were on our first date! Remember? China Lily and then a movie (Only You) at my sister Ellen's apartment!
