BRM

That stands for Bart, Rachel, Meriel. My sister, Meriel, and I email throughout the day a lot. She often gets bored at work and emails me. I know when I hear the "ding" coming from my computer that it is an email from her. The emails will be about all sorts of different things. Random thoughts that just came to her, what her next sewing project is, how she is secretly reading Twilight under her desk, or just asking me how I am. A few months ago I got an email from her saying that we need a nickname. "We" being Me, Her, and Bart. We came up with BRM. (Like a berm in a motocross track.)

Now you are probably wondering why the three of us would need a nickname. It's because we are freaking awesome! haha! No, it's because we hang out so much. They are my favorite people to hang out with in Utah. Hands down. Last year I thought it wasn't cool to hang out with my sister and that I needed to make my own friends. Well I made my own friends and still think its way more fun hanging out with my sister and brother-in-law. I love being able to just go to their house and be myself. I can be my crazy dancing singing weird faced self and they don't judge me. They even think I am funny sometimes. ;) 

I don't think there has been a time with them where I don't end up in tears or I can't breathe because I am laughing so hard. I think Meems can attest to that as well. If I am having a bad day I know I can turn it around just by being with them. I always poor out my boy problems (mostly against their will) and they always make me feel better or give me advice. Or just tell me to get over it. They have also been my most frequent visitors at work! But I think they mostly come for the free sandwiches and drinks I give them. 

Whenever I need help with my car, Bart is always there to answer any questions I have. He even comes with me and talks to the guys at the car place for me because I have no idea what I am doing. The random inside joke text messages I get from him are my favorite! And our rap dance sessions in his car are the best. He is basically the big brother I never had. 

As I said before I love emails from Meems during the day. I really do look forward to them. Meriel and I can get really attached to certain TV shows. I love that we talk about them like they are our real lives and that we know these people personally. We are the same person in so many ways. We have the same laugh and do the same weird voices. She is always giving me compliments and making me feel good about myself. And we both LOVE desserts... 

Whether it's watching our favorite tv shows, going on road trips, playing SORRY, or eating at Chadders, we always have a good time. As Bart would say, "Good times, good times." I hope they never move out of Utah because I really don't know what I would do without them and our weekly hang outs.
