Brilliant I tell ya!

I have a friend who I believe is
BRILLIANT.
You know she's one of those girls that likes learning and reads alot.
I'd like to introduce you to her. Her name is Bridget.
She's so brilliant in fact that a magazine wanted to interview her.
I heard about this one day and didn't think much about it. To be honest I wasn't surprised. After all she is a smarty pants so why wouldn't they.
Well it just so happens that one day as I was in a store looking at the magazine section I couldn't help but notice a familiar face looking at me from the REAL SIMPLE magazine.
I couldn't believe it. After all REAL SIMPLE is a magazine I like. I expected her to have an article in Newsweek or something (which she may have preferred), but to my surprise and liking she was right there on the cover of REAL SIMPLE magazine. Not only was she interviewed, but she got front cover. WOW I was impresses.
Well the story gets better because as I read her interview I found that she was being interviewed about motherhood and right there in the middle of the article was a HUGE shout out to me!!!
Now I've always felt like Bridget thought I was a good mom, but I was on cloud nine reading about how she felt I was an example of a good mom.
Unfortunately, I was reading this interview around 3:00pm last night and was rudely awakened at the best part by my sweet little boy who had had an accident in his bed.
So yes, this was a dream. That is most likely why this doesn't sound at all familiar to you Bridget.
I thought of casually mentioning I had a dream about you =), but I thought this would be so much more exciting.
However the truth is....
-Bridget is brilliant
-I apparently took the compliments from Bridget about my parenting to my head
-and, for real, one day I was walking in a bookstores coffee shop and as I was walking through the magazine section something caught my eye. I turned back to see what it was and it was my cousins face on the cover of a magazine (Steph that's a shout out to your bro!). I was very impressed to say the least!
*Bridget- I hope you dont mind that I wrote a blog post about you. We're even =)

Well, I totally fell for it! I was planning on finishing the post and then googling to find the article. So funny!

Yeah, I was hooked too. Too bad that wasn't real. Maybe YOU should be writing for a magazine, ha!

Bridget said...

Hahahaha. I thought it was real, too, and I wondered why I didn't have any memory of this. Then I thought the FB celebrity lookalike thing had gone too far and you saw HER picture on a magazine.

Darn. Someday maybe. But probably not REAL SIMPLE. And not for being a good mom, that's for sure :). We'll save that cover for you.

Ha ha, that's awesome. Yeah, I have a copy of that magazine with Bry's face on it. And in fact, he was up in Rexburg visiting me and Kris when we went to school there and we were in the grocery store and that Salt Lake Magazine was right there by the check out and Kristen picked it up and looked at Bryant (pretending like she didn't already know) and said really loud, "is this YOU????" Just to embarrass him. And embarrass him it did. Ha ha ha. I love it.

I literally have my Real Simple magazine sitting next to me right now and I almost stopped reading this post to start flipping through it to find the article you were talking about! Haha! You really had me going!
