April Fools

I am apparently not very good at convincing anyone that I am pregnant.

My call with Matt was not successful. He sounded too nice and congratulatory and since he's usually a bully I felt guilt and said April Fools right away, but he had me already figured out.

"I know," he said "Lisa's been pulling pranks on me all morning." (yeah right she has)

When I called my grandpa he said "Let me think, IT'S APRIL FIRST. Did you mother tell you to call me? Give the phone to her. She played this prank on me for 15 years and for 10 years I believed it!"

When I tried to tell my parents at dinner they beat me to the punch, "We have something to tell you," I said, "Let me guess!" said my mom, "You're pregnant!"

Then they laughed and laughed.

Only when my mom typed to Mary on an IM "Your sister just told us she's pregnant" did we get the response we wanted.

"IS THIS FOR REAL?!"

No Mary. Sorry Mary.

I'm not pregnant guys, I'm just an April Fool

look-alikes

So Mary and I are not the same person.
We don't even look like the same person.

But today I pretended, pretty successfully, to be my sister Mary.

First Mary told me that she hadn't actually finished applying to BYU, which needs to be done by March 1st. Then she said that it's because she has to send her ACT score and doesn't know how.

So I googled her high school and called and said "Hi, I'm trying to have my ACT scores sent to another college. I graduated last year."
The lady said "What is your name?"
I said, "Mary Froelich."

She said I had to go online to the ACT website and have it sent from there.
I got on and tried to create an account as Mary Froelich. I provided Mary's birthday, email, social, everything.
Then they told me that I already had an account and couldn't access my info unless I logged in.

After ten minutes, guess who had successfully figured out Mary's password AND id.
That's right. ME!
I didn't even use her security question, which totally would have given it away since it was probably something like "Who was your childhood pet?" or "What is your Mother's maiden name?"
I totally know the answers to all those questions.

Now Mary's ACT scores will be whizzing through the air to BYU and her application letter will be whizzing back to her and she will live in Provo (because I am such a great sister-impersonator) and people will confuse us for each other, because they always do, but it never makes sense since we don't look alike at all.

(See? Blond hair, green eyes. Brown hair, brown eyes. Totally different faces. We don't even look related.)

grown up

Can you believe it?
My little sister is 18.

Happy Birthday Mary, I'm sorry this post isn't more exciting.

I love you and can't wait to see you soon.

(p.s. If you're getting married soon, consider having Mary as your maid of honor. You wouldn't believe how wonderful she is and how much she takes care of.)

photobooty

the title was a mis-type, but I like it. I'm totally keeping it.

Anyways. I laid six photobooth strips side by side and scanned them on to one big sheet. Then I cropped them into my new header, which by the way, I am crazy about.
Because it's crazy.

All six of those were taken the day before the wedding.
They feature: Mary my sister
Lisa my mostly sister
Travis my now husband
and yours truly.

Fun, no?
