dear everyone.

remember how i'm going on a mission and i'm going to miss you all a ton? but that's okay, because you're all going to write me! ha ha... but seriously, thanks everyone for everything you've done for me throughout my life. i love you all and really will miss you and all the good times we've had together. i know there are tons of memories that i didn't put on here that were amazing and fun, so sorry if i didn't get to it. whenever you miss me, just come look at this blog and remember stuff we did together. then write me letters about it, because i won't be able to get on and look at it whenever i want. i'm so excited to serve a mission, it will be the best thing i will ever do. be safe. choose the right. the church is true.
love,
ty

dear sydney.

remember when we were at country cream one night, and i let you borrow my gym shorts earlier that week? and so we decided we'd switch pants. so you gave me my shorts and just hid behind the counter, and i went into the bathroom and changed and gave you my levis. and then you went and put those on and they were HUGE on you. so we decided to switch back, so you gave me my levis again and hid behind the counter, and i went and changed, and came back out, and didn't give you my shorts back. so you were just in there with no pants on, and i even walked out the door and was headed to my car, and you were freaking out because i was leaving you behind with no pants. ha ha, it was great. you were pretty upset. it made me laugh. but eventually i came back in and gave you my shorts. you're welcome.

dear brittany and christa.

remember when i was at work one day? and there was a dead bird out front, and so me and my friend decided we should probably get rid of it so it wouldn't drive all the customers away. so i got a plastic bag and scooped the bird into it, and took it out to the dumpster, and set it on a pile of boxes in the corner, where it was easily accessible. then later that night, we decided we'd do something with it. so we drove around to the back of the ups store and got out and grabbed the dead bird from the dumpster. it smelled so bad, so we had to hang it out the window on the way to jamba juice. so anyway, we get there, and we decide to put it on bigelow's antanna of her car. so christa snuck up and skewered the bird on the antanna. it was sick. but funny, because there was just a dead bird at the top of her antanna. then i don't remember exactly what happened, but i kind of remember her not noticing until one of us was talking to her on the phone later that night or something... i forget. but it turns out the bird wasn't removed from the antanna and her parents took the car out on their date the next night. so they just had a dead bird attatched to their car. funny. but gross. i can't believe us. yes i can.

dear christa.

remember this? our secret recipe for pea soup:

mary j blige


added with some goose breath,


half cooked lips,


just a pinch of butt lava,


minus three fourths cup of burger sweat,


a scoop of fresh dirt,


three ankles of a sphinx,


dragon tattoos,


alligators on the feces,


pickled dung,


mustard sweat pants,


greasy monkey paws,


ill tempered badgers,





pesky liver bits,


vanishing faces,


gruesome hot dogs,


allison's lady,


tulips trodden down upon,


and three upside down igloos,




all smothered in yellow guts with sheek ribbon wrapped around. to be consumed only when lonely.

dear jesse.

remember the roof? when everyone was going out to get there picture taken by the fountain, and we both needed to pee real quick. so we went into the bathroom and there was just one stall and one urinal, and you ran past me and were like, i get the stall! and so we both get on with our business, and next thing i know, you're in the stall next to me saying, "weird... what is this thing?" and i just busted up laughing SO hard! uncontrollably in fact. ha ha. it was hilarious. turns out there was some weird thing connected to the toilet, but i didn't know THAT'S what you were talking about... oh man. and we were both laughing so hard that we were crying in the picture we got taken with all of us and mr. park. that was so funny.

dear bigelow.

remember when you came to visit me at work one day? and i had those real life hand cuffs that preston ford gave to me for making sbo. and i was just playing with them, and i ended up handcuffing you. and then i realized that the key was in my backpack, which was at my house. ha ha. that was funny. i think you may have been a little upset. so we had to call my mom and have her bring the key to us so you could be un-handcuffed. oh boy. that was great.

dear lexi.

remember sophomore year when i was going to answer janelle blad to sweethearts and wanted your help? so we got a box of alpha bits and a toy alligator (?) and went to emily's house to color the letter's "definitely" in the box. but we decided not to tell emily that right away. we decided to have a little fun. so we ring her doorbell and she answers it, and we're like, Hey emily! and she invites us in and what not. then we were like, we decided we'd have a cereal eating party! and we showed her the box of alpha bits. and she got all excited and was like, oh you guys are so nice! and what not, and she got out bowls and spoons and the milk and everything. and we waited until she had gotten everything out to break the news to her that we weren't really having a cereal eating party. ha ha, it was so funny. we're such jerks. but we're funny jerks.

dear jessie.

remember when we went to barnes and noble? and first we had to stop at arctic circle. and you said you'd pay me gas money, even though it was on the side of the road on the way to b&n. you're a dork. so we went through the drive through, and i ordered a burger for you, and two vanilla courtesy cones. and the lady was like, "come on down!" like we were on a game show. then we got to the window and paid the lady, and then the guy game to the window and was like, "BUUUUURGER!" and gave us the bag. it was weird. then he kept looking in the window with the weirdest look on his face, and i was like, why is he looking at jessie like that? and then he said something, and i didn't hear him, so i was just like, weird... and drove away. then you told me he thought that my straw was in chili, and not in apple sauce. ha ha. that was funny. so then we continued to drive to barnes and noble, and i brought a bucket because i threw up the day before at about that same time. so we were getting on the freeway, and i was like, "crap. i'm gonna puke." and so we got the bucket and i was just holding it there because i knew it was gonna come any second. and i made you take the wheel. and i threw up a little bit in the bucket and you didn't even know i did somehow... then i threw up some more and you started laughing uncontrollably. and then we imagined if i threw up, and it caused you to throw up, and so we're just driving down the freeway both puking in the same bucket. ha ha, that would have been unforgettable. but unfortunately it didn't happen. then we got to barnes and noble and i dumped the puke out in the dirt, and we got my journals and looked at optical illusions for forever, then looked at the bunny suicide book (way funny) and then the chinglish book. that was the best ever. i was dying. "SWEARING eternal the spirit... sure." ha ha, that was the best. and then on the way home you were like, "do you believe that i would throw up if i saw you throw up?" but you didn't really say that, but i thought you did and it made me laugh really hard. oh what a day...

dear xanni.

remember that one night after bryce asked kylee to the dance and gave us the lighters, and so we each had one, and a billion little candles? and we went to that abandoned street by your house and got the spray hairspray because we wanted to be pyros. so we lit up the lighter, and sprayed the hairspray, but it would just blow out the lighter... i was so disappointed. it was going to be awesome. but it ended up sucking. so we decided to just make it look like we were smoking and take pictures of it. ha. and you ate a big mac. that was cool.
