The Olsen's: Friends!

Growing up I was the only girl in my seminary class with 11 boys, so I didn't have very many LDS girlfriends all through high school. Don't get me wrong, it was alot of fun. I was lucky to be so close with these guys, and they were great friends, but I sure missed having girls around. It was especially hard when the boys all went on their missions and left me friendless. For the first time in my life I found a good group of LDS girls to hang out with and we had a blast and were there for each other when we needed each other most. After a couple of years we all kind of went our separate ways, luckily right at the time when the boys were all coming home! I was super excited to see my boys again. I was not disappointed...we picked up right where we left off and had alot of fun times. Of course the guys got home and started looking for their future wives. It was a scary thought thinking I would have to lose my boys to a bunch of girls...lol! I'd always been the main girl in their lives...and I quite liked that! I never imagined that they would marry such amazing girls and that they would become my new best friends! We ended up all getting married within a couple weeks from each other (except for a few stragglers!) So far we all live in southern Alberta so we've been able to get together once in awhile. Its great to see each other and watch our kids play together. I am so grateful to have such amazing friends! Last night we had a potluck dinner together. Here are some pics though alot of them are very bad quality...sorry. My camera was not cooperating and I'm clueless as to how to fix the settings.

The girls!
