Dread Pirate Kayli

Howdy Ho and a Bucket of Rum!!

I was going through old emails and found this from my sister Kayli. Very amusing. Kind of long, maybe boring--too bad, that's why I'm chief editor, writer, illustrator of my own blog so I can post whatever I want. Hee. Hee. This was during Kayli's and mine first semester at USU. She met Brett later in November and became engaged the next month. She now has three adorable kids. Check out her blog here.
