Yeeeeeeellow

I couldnt possibly do a post about Joey without doing one for Blaine as well.
This is Blaine Taylor. He's a badass. Pardon my language but its the truth.
I met Blaine the same night I met Joey. It was an instant friendship, probably because he had cool stuff, like a neat jeep and cool clothes, just things like that. I know, Im sooo materialistic. But really, we went around in his jeep the first night, jamming out to Jay Sean no doubt. I instantly liked these guys. So fun and freshly graduated, whats not to like?
I quickly noticed a couple things about Blaine.
- He likes good music.
- He sings like Jay Sean.
- Per.Fect. Skin.
-He's ripped.
-He says funny things like "coons age".
Not only did he wrestle in high school, Blaine was also a star institute basketball player. One time at a game this kid got his finger dislocated. It was nasty. Blaine came over and popped it right back into place. It aint no thang to people like him I guess. Another little diddy about him, Blaine never calls anyone by their real name. Bryndee is Brenda, and I know I said it was Joey that made up Jackie's nickname but truth be told it was Blaine. Mehoph was definitely all Blaine.

(Blaine ridin dirty like usual)

His Birthday was was early in the semester. Me and Jackie decided to take it upon ourselves to throw him a little kickback. It blew. Sorry about that Blaine. I guess it wasnt to bad in the end, he came out of it with an awesome gift. The ole' Robin Hood Pack, better safe than sorry right?? Probably my all time favorite thing about Blaine though is that he never misses a chance to make you feel dumb. One time Missy said Little Wayne, to this day its still "hey you wanna listen to some little wayne". I still laugh every time I think about it. He's quick and witty and probably one of the funniest people I know.Going back to the first night we hung out Blaine told us he was a recent convert. He got baptized the summer after his senior year. Automatically the first thing we asked was if he was wild in high school. His response, no. I think he was slightly offended. He struck me as the type that would reek havoc on the children of Thatcher, but it wasnt so. The more I came to know him the more impressed I was at his decision of joining our church. And I was even more impressed when I found out he turned in his mission papers. Blaine got his call and will be serving in the Portland, Oregon mission and is set to leave the same day as his bf, September 1, 2010. Blaine has so much to offer the people of Oregon and I know him and his family will be blessed immensely! He's going to be such an awesome missionary and I cant wait to hear about his trials and blessings out in the field.

Do you remember??

Meet Joey Elkins. He's funny, he's sassy, and extremely good looking!!!!! <-- his words. Me and Joey have been pen pals since high school and coincidentally I ended up going to school in Thatcher where Joey just happened to live. Shortly after I moved into the slut hut me and Joey became friends. Who would have thought that after years of writing each other we'd be friends in real life? Neat I know.
Joey is a man of many talents. Here are just a few to get a little taste of him.
- He's an excellent singer.
- He's funny.
- He's super smart.
- He can do a backflip.
- He's classy
- And he played tennis in high school.
Joey and Blaine were the sources of mine and jackie's nicknames. One of the first times we hung out, Joey was probably asking what the best thing about him was and I faintly remember telling him he had a good aura. My nickname... Hora. I never thought it would stick but it did. Jackie's nickname... Mehoph. dont ask. Him and his bf were also the masterminds of our dear house "the slut hut".

Joey's bf happens to be Blaine Taylor. Together they are hilarious. They match constantly and are always fighting over who has the better body, or whose funnier, who gets more girls etc etc. The semester truly wouldnt have been as fun without these two. I feel like everywhere we would go we would sing songs. When I hung out with them for the first time we went riding around in Blaine's jeep and we sang "do you remember" by Jay Sean. And now everytime I hear it I always think of them. One of my favorites though is the "We Are The World" song. I take JB and all the girl parts and Joey and Blaine split up the rest. Joey happens to sing exactly like Sean Paul. He is really good at it. I have a video of it and one day Ill try to get it up. Joey and Blaine

But switching back to girls, Joey sure has a way with the ladies. A nice girl from his high school asked him to prom this past year. I dont think he was ever really friends with her, but he decided to go anyways. I dont think Joey will ever know how much that probably meant to her, im sure it made her year!

Joey and his date

As sweet as he is the boy never stops joking. The first FHE of the semester Joey and Blaine watched Jackie as she got a plate full of sausage for some other friends of ours. Ever since then it has been a never ending joke of how much Jackie likes sausage. Jackie turned 21 last week. Joeys present... a package of sausage.
Joey recently got his mission call. There was a slight mix up with his papers. 2 calls. 1 to Washington and 1 to Peru. After talking with the other Joseph Elkins he found out he was going to Peru. Im seriously so excited for him to go and I know he will be an awesome missionary. Him and Blaine both report the same day, September 1, 2010. How appropriate I know.
