introducing....

Laura

Laura is Brian's girlfriend.

Yep- it's official- our Brian is growing up & has a girlfriend!!

woo hooo!

Brian & Laura met in Jr. High.

Liked each other then...

were good friends through High School...

and good friends when he got home last year from Chile.

Now-

they are a couple!

Just last summer I asked them both-

Why aren't you guys dating?

Every time Brian came home he would take her to lunch or go visit her. All the sudden it dawned on me one day when she was here --- why are they not dating?

After asking- they both said- everyone asks us that!

Well- I got permission to announce it here that-

they are.

AND

I got permission to put up these two silly photos.

Trent is especially jealous.

After she watched Home Alone with us Thanksgiving night- (a serious tradition here) he confided in me- "I wish Laura was my girlfriend." I said- ya she's pretty cool...

but what would you do with a girl friend?

Trent: play ping pong & stuff.

Ya- Girl friends are good for that
