So I've always kinda thought it was more or less awesome when cousins did shoots together. Being one that didn't really grow up with cousins my own age, it's always a fascination =P And crazy coincidence, the girls' assistant dean here, Emily, was about to get a visit from her cousin, who was none other than an acquaintance I'd made the year before, Shari!
Shari happened to be one of the student missionaries on the island of Majuro when I went back to visit! I'd served a somewhat rocky year there as a missionary from 07-08, and went back in the summer of '10 to see my kids graduate =) The SMs there took me in like family and I seriously had the time of my life with them. Seeing my students and having the fantastic company of all of them was just insanely great for my soul. And as any past SM knows, there's that common thread that gets woven into you when you come back like war veterans and can strike up any conversation with any SM.
ANYhow, I was super stoked to do a session for them...it was pretty awesome catching up with Shari, and it was really cool to get to know Em better =)
Hahah, they definitely kept it interesting...
Lol, inside joke...
Very cool story about this blanket (the quilted one)...Emily's grandmother made this for her for when she first went off to academy. She made one for Shari too when SHE went off to academy, just in different colors. How cool is that?
Another of their favorites (and mine too, not gonna lie...I totally would've partook, had it not been freezing out, lol), mint chocolate-chip ice-cream! They both love it and apparently make enough of a habit eating it whenever they get together that they wanted a picture with it =P
It's been a pleasure, beautiful ladies! Had a BLAST!
