Marlayna!!!

When you read the title of this blog I know you thought, "There she goes again. Talking about herself. She is always trying to make herself funnier than she really is." Well you can relax and continue reading. I am not writing about the big Marlayna. I am writing about one of the most beautiful babies ever.

So now you are wondering why I have a little person named after me. Don't worry I wonder as well. My friend Becky served in the Montana Billings Mission. I was blessed to have been a ward missionary and friend to her through her whole mission. Lucky for me the friendship lasted. She even wrote me and sent me a package when I was on my mission. Yeah she is the nicest ever!!

So she always told me she was going to name her first girl after me. I was very sure that was a lie. Not to many people willing to name their child after a crazy lady. So I would always just laugh it off. Well on day Becky told me she had a bun in the oven. I was very happy for her. (oh she is married in the Temple. I know you all wanted this story to have some twists and turns. Sorry you dont get any!) A few months or so before this sweet little girl was going to pop out Becky asked if she could name her Marlayna. I am sure she would have even if I had said no. (It is more that she likes the name more than me.) I asked her if she wanted a little me running around her house. I am sure you can't get genes from a name, but I am sure the name causes some craziness. Becky was willing to take the chance. So I told her I would love it. For the first two months I got to know her through pictures. Then about two months ago I met her for the first time. (Sorry Becky hasn't sent me those ones yet.) So you get to see the four month old ones.
