In the spring of 2007 Ryan and I were engaged and enjoying a wonderful trip to California with some friends. One day while at Disneyland, I received a weird phone call from a stranger.
"Um hello...? Is this Lindsay Gwynn? yeah um my name is Brianne and I hope this isn't weird but I'm living in your apartment now and I went through your stuff to find your number so I can tell you that Liberty Square says their going to throw all of your stuff away unless you move out. Thought you should know. Bye!"
Wow. I hate that girl. Well I guess not really, but the news she delivered sucked.
So we went back to Provo, got everything cleared up with Liberty Square, and began Spring semester at BYU. Ryan and I both took jobs as Pizza Hut delivery drivers (they were the only people that would hire us for the 1 month we could work before the wedding!) and we were completely overwhelmed with spending every second with each other. It was a wonderful and busy time in our lives, but the Lord saw fit to bless us with one more thing.
My roommates were addicting. Some of the weirdest, funniest, most caring people I've ever met. There was this psycho mexican named Brianne who dated a lot, and this crazy pale white girl named Whitnee who cooked a lot and constantly watched basketball. They were almost opposites of each other, but exactly the same. We were all instantly close, and hanging out with friends soon turned into Ryan and a bunch of girls.

Luckily Brianne soon married Tyson and we were all complete! (that sounds weird...but I don't know how else to say it.)
Brianne and Tyson have meant so much to us for the past 4 years. It's SO hard to find a couple that you feel so beyond comfortable with! We can talk about everything, and we know everyone's flaws but we deeply care about one another. They are incredible friends, and incredible people. They are our best friends.
Today was the first day of real life. We aren't in college anymore, we're moving this summer to Dallas, and our friends are gone. Brianne and Tyson moved away to California. We won't live next to them anymore, and we won't have the wonderful countless nights of doing nothing. We have to grow up now. boooo.
But I do want to say that we are SO grateful to be blessed with such amazing friends! We love you Brianne, Tyson, and Braylen!
This is probably my favorite post of all time. We really miss you guys so very much. I've been trying to think of a way that we can live in the same state but it may take a couple of years to accomplish. Jayden has to marry Braylen of course, which will seal the deal (haha get it? SEAL the deal. Oh I'm so clever). We have been so blessed with your friendship, but also cursed because we will never find anyone who compares to Lindsay and Ryan. We love you!
