I am in my hometown in Montana, visiting my family and my brother that just got home from Iraq! My sister asked if I could take some pictures of her friends for her to decorate her dorm room with. Last year she had a lot of empty picture frames, but after this adventure, I don’t think she will have that problem. My sister is a little crazy, and like me, would never turn down a dare, so I knew if anyone would be up for a trash the dress session, she would. Normally these sessions are done with brides after the wedding day, but because none of these girls are married we did it with formals, all purchased at Goodwill for less than $15!
Meet Sharla, my sister…hang on guys she is single and easily the nicest, genuine Christian girl you will meet. Not to mention, you will get an abb workout from all the laughing if you are around her!
Meet Kirsten, my neighbor that I have known almost all her life, and I must say…WOW! She has grown up in to a beautiful person!
And Tynagh, who loves animals and can convince anyone she knows to give her a piggyback ride.
Together these girls are three peas in a pod, and ready for anything!
We also had a young man named Sterling join us, and we are glad he did. We had told him what we were going to do and he said, “I want to come!” We thought he was joking, but he showed up, and I’m pretty sure he thought we were crazy! 
Now, I live by the river, and almost always put on a long sleeve shirt around dusk because of mosquitoes. I’m not sure why we did not think of it, but as a facebook update put it this morning “229 mosquito bites later I finally found something I’m allergic to…” and that 229 is NO exaggeration! I have a mosquito bite in between my toes, and everywhere else! It was crazy, in fact if you look closely, you can see some mosquitoes on the girls! They were such troopers, and when you get pictures like these it just might be worth it!
I don’t know about you guys, but I think there are some possible modeling careers in the works for these girls…
Thanks girls, and Sterling! you guys rock and I am glad you had fun, despite being a buffet for mosquitoes!
If any Boise brides, or friends want pictures like this, let me know! And to all my Montana readers, I WILL travel!
