Happy Birthday (yesterday), Nancee


I have an excuse for being a day late on this post. On Nancee's actual birthday I spent half the day with her, and the other half flying back to Tulsa. Still, Nancee is cool, turned 32, and needs a birthday post!

Nancee joined our family in 2003 when she married my awesome brother Troy.


Nancee is great to have in the family because she has reduced my need for a mirror. We have been told countless times that we look alike. Most people think we are sisters rather than in-laws, and many people have awkwardly mistaken us for one another. For example, I once had a one minute conversation with Troy followed by him holding my hand and asking, "What time is it, Nance?" Haha. Luckily, you can tell Nancee apart from me because she is in better shape.

Nancee is also great to have around because she is a friggin smarty pants. She graduated high school at the age of 16, graduated college at age 20, and finished law school before she was 26! She also passed the California Bar on her first try, and has passed two other state bars. Go Nancee!

Nancee is also athletic. She and my other totally-in-shape sister-in-law (way too many hyphens) and brother finished the Salt Lake marathon. She also wakeboards, snowboards, and chases a 2 year old around.

Lastly, Nancee is great because she and Troy brought two adorable nieces into my life who I can't get enough of. Thanks for the princesses!


Happy Birthday, Nancee!

  3. And what's more: Nancee and Julie look alike from the back too. Many is the time I have mistakenly called them by each others names when I am looking at the back of their heads. I just don't have an excuse when I do the same thing looking them straight in the eye... Andtroy and Mollson will understand.

  4. (Mom has also called me "Uncle Tim" so apparently he and I also look alike from the back.)
