i came up with the name of the blog because of a funny thing that happened to us over the summer. my family always goes to lake powell, at least once, every summer, and since imari is basically my twin, she always comes too. so there we were, in page arizona, excited to get out on the lake. we had woken up a little late and gotten a late start out on the lake, but were still pumped to get out there. so we dropped the rest of my family off by the dock where the boat was and we were going to drive around to where we pick up the boat to park the car so it would be easier to pull the boat out that night. so we drove over, and instead of waiting patiently like we were supposed to... we decided we should start walking back along the beach (so if we saw my family, we could just wave them down). well we thought it was a brilliant plan, and it would've been... but we made our way all the way back and found my sisters just chilling in the boat. emma say's 'where's mom?' and we looked at each other and said 'huh? she was with you guys.' well turned out my mom had left the keys to the boat back at the house so she had started walking back to the car to get us... only we had walked back on the beach, not the road, so we missed her. so we hiked all the way up this long, hot hill, grunting the whole way to try and find my mom. we finally made it back to the car... all hot and sweaty and luckily my mom was there waiting for us. she told us that she had walked up and down the ramp looking for us and someone asked her if she was lost and she said, 'no i'm just looking for my daughter and her friend... have you seen a blonde and an asian?' ha ha the person just gave her the weirdest look. well long story short, we made it back to the house, got the keys and spent the rest of the day on the lake. but we thought my mom's comment about us was hilarious and very fitting... so that's what we are. best friends. a blonde and an asian.
