Just a friend has been upgraded

So way back ...last year ....May 18th to be exact I had used this picture in a blog entry but the young man had no name.... as a matter of fact if you asked Sam who he was it would have been "oh he's just a friend".. I know we didn't believe her but that was her story and she stuck to it.

When Asheligh went up to visit Sam last year she told us of this guy who was Sam's friend... and she liked him he was nice.

When Calli and I went to pick up Sam for the summer we were also able to meet Sam's friend Rodney...and all she kept saying was "He's Just A Friend!" and besides it doesn't matter cause he's leaving for the Netherlands for a semester...

so all summer long he was known as "Just a Friend Rodney" but we knew better and towards the end of the summer Sam gave Rodney an upgrade from "just a friend to boyfriend"...

But he still left for the Netherlands (so he says, because when ever I heard about what he was doing he was anywhere but the Netherlands) but time passed quickly and before we knew it he was back..... just in time to drive down from Davis with Sam so she could leave for Israel (I know I kind of missed that from the blog...but she was there from Dec 14-30). But eventually she came home and he picked her up up at the airport....

which brings us to today.... the day that they went back to Davis first Sam went over to Rodneys so they could get his stuff in (remember he hasn't been at school officially yet) and then they came to our our house for Sam's stuff... and believe it or not she had less stuff than him.

and where we started this entry with her on the lap of "just a friend Rodney" I am ending it with a picture of her on the lap of "boyfriend Rodney" and they are currently on their way up to Davis.

you can tell the difference in status by the wardrobe....
