the abbots

this is my friend mandy. we met in third grade. i had a writing assignment for school, and you had to write a letter. catch was if you got a response, you got extra credit...

i went to church and dug through the address book and found the address to a church building in ireland. i wrote 2 letters. one to the bishop, and then another one to a girl my age. his said to please give the other letter to a girl my age with similar interests that was interested in having a pen pal.

mandy wrote back. i was soooo excited. i was the only one that got a letter back. i cant imagine why michael jordan wasnt writing back. morons. haha. anyhow, when mandy was in high school her family got visas, and moved to alamo. which is just north of here. i was so excited! we had written for almost 10 years! i drove to alamo for mandys high school graduation, and thats where we had met for the first time. soooooo cool. we had so much fun. i met all her friends, we had a blast.

mandy has since gotten married, and has 3 absolutely beautiful babies. i have been soooo blessed having her in my life. she is truly one of my favorite people... and the accent doesnt hurt :)





we took these last month for her christmas cards.... i figured it was safe to post them now :)
