Jeanelle Shaw: My Best Friend and Second Mom

Happy Birthday Jeanelle/Sister Shaw!

You are amazing. I absolutely love you. We have had some great times together.

You are the most fun to play games with. I remember being a beehive and envying the Laurels so much when you were their leader because of all the fun you all were having playing games and such. I was really sad when you were called into Primary. Luckily, we still got to get together and play games all the time. So fun. Remember The Farming Game? Gift Trap? Settlers of Catan? Nerts? Mexican Train? Such fun games all the time!

I love talking movies and entertainment with you. I think it’s so much fun to talk about who we like or don’t like on various TV shows or what books we love. It’s so much fun. You’re blog posts always make me smile.

Especially Biggest Loser. I love that you love that show as much as I do. I wish we could watch it together every week! We’ve been through Icky Vicky, terrible Heba, the awful knowledge that Rebecca and Daniel were dating, predicting game play, funny challenges, crazy weigh-ins etc together. and wasn’t it fun!?

Also Legally Blonde: The Musical. What a great play. Thank you so much for taking me to that for my graduation. It was such a fun time! I remember when we first watched that silly show. Who would've thought that we would love it as much as we do!?

Girl’s Camp! I loved Girl’s Camp every single year. Were you my leader for two or three years? I don’t remember. You were always my leader. You and my mom made that first year so memorable. My favorite year was definitely sixth though. I had so much fun. You were the best leader ever. Really. I cannot imagine a better girl’s camp experience.  :)

You have always been there for my sisters and I. You’ve been there to talk to, to laugh with. You are interesting in our troubles, our heartaches, our accomplishments. You are an amazing mom to us.
