Flashback: 1991-2ish?
Allyson, Kristy, Farrah, Earl
I can't remember the year. It was sometime before I graduated High School in 1992. We had a Stake "Trek" Youth Conference. This was back in the day before "Trek" became "Trek". It was basically nothing like the Trek Youth Conferences they do in this day and age. But it was fun and it was a great experience. (If you have no idea what I'm talking about and want to learn more about this whole trek business, click here.)

Flashforward: 2013
Emily and Anika
So my mom made the dresses my sister Farrah and I wore for our trek. A few years ago as I was helping her clean out some things in her house, I came across the dresses. I tried to talk my mother into getting rid of them. But in her infinite wisdom she talked me into keeping them. Any good Mormon has some type pioneer clothing hanging in their closets, after all. Well, just last week, the occasion arose in which we needed some good old fashioned pioneer garb. This summer our stake is doing trek and Zac will have to opportunity to go. To help get the kids all ready and excited, our ward had a pioneer activity in which they had to dress for the occasion. Emily and Zac both refused. I knew there was no talking Zac into dressing up. But I tried to work on Emily. I kept telling her that I had the perfect outfit for her to wear. No, no, no, no, no. She was dead set against it. That's when I remembered that not only did I have one perfect outfit to wear, I had TWO! So I had her call her friend Anika and talk her into dressing up with her. It worked! Look how cute they are! It was fun to see those dresses resurrected. It would be nice to see the figure I once smushed in that dress resurrected too.
Interesting side note: I wore that dress to the trek in Dallas Texas with some of Anika's cousins. Learn more about that by clicking here.
