Pantaloons Debut in Old Nauvoo

Thank you so much, sisters, for making the Pantaloons a reality! They are really beautiful pantaloons, much better than our cherished daily wear last summer. How appropriate that they should make their debut in Nauvoo! Pantaloons are, of course, a symbol of scandal. They are worn under wedding dresses, after all! In beautiful Old Nauvoo, they were just what I needed to protect my legs from scratchy tulle and the woes of immodesty. Here are some shots:



By the temple of course, scandalizing Shea... in front of the good ol' Bakery, certainly...



What a wonderful day that was! How incredibly blessed I feel to be sealed to a most wonderful, singing husband! When he sent me that package of fruit last summer, Sis. Davis told me to marry him. Yumm, those pears were so good, and I recall I shared them with you lovely ladies! If I could share with you a taste of the incredible happiness I experience in married life, I most certainly would. Good luck the rest of you finding your eternal companions! Katie, you will always be "Pulsie", but based on your cooking skills I could possibly get used to calling you "Brownie".

All the happiness in the world to you! I love you all!

Scandaloons, Scantyloons, Pantaloons

Thanks, Thomps, for getting this together! It's a great way to keep in touch, and I hope everyone contributes so we can all see the wonderful things our sisters are doing.

I decided to look for pictures from Nauvoo that include pantaloons, and I found an interesting thing: they are all uniformly scandalous. I sure hope none of the Elders can see this blog...


This first one is during our lunch break at an early point in the summer. I don't know about you, but I was quite often in just pantaloons and a slip when the big tour wagons rolled by the window. "And there's the house where our performing sister missionaries live. Say hi, girls!


In case you can't tell, this next one is Sisters James and Wyson backstage at the indoor Sunset. We were all going a little stir crazy in the dark.

Travel Log...#1

Hello sisters!  So...I've been thinking about this for a little while and wondering if it would work.  Here's my solution to the "traveling pantaloons" master-plan of all plans we had last summer.  :)  Since mailing things...especially pantaloons...can cost so much, and maybe get lost...(AH!) I've decided to try the blogging solution.  :)  Here's a great way we can keep in touch no matter where we are.  (Okay, so maybe Hansen and Woahn won't be able to post until after their missions?)  But maybe we can include their parents in this gig and let them post how they're doing every once in a while?  Your thoughts are all welcome.  :)  

Also, I know we have our group on facebook that Sis. Elbert (not Owens, I know!) set up for us.  Who knows if we'll keep up on this, but it'd be neat, I think!  Here's a place where we can post what's going on in our lives, pictures OF the pantaloons (Elbert and Pulse...) when the time comes for each one of us, and...maybe just any thoughts you're having, or if you ever need anything, etc...this is the place for it.  We're all "authors" on here, so we can all post.  We could make it private if anyone ever wants to...so only the ten of us can see this.  Let me know what you think.  

Also, if anyone else has a blog, etc., you can add the address to the section called "sister oh sister" by clicking on the little tool in that corner.  I added my blog...that's what you can get by clicking on "thomps."  I don't know who blogs and who doesn't...so...have at it!

Also, I think it's vital that any pictures anyone has of any Nauvoo pictures of us in pantaloons, those should most definitely be shared...preferably with a story, memory, etc. about that moment.  :)  Here's one to get everyone started...This was a night when Sunset got cancelled...which I remember being a tender mercy for a lot of us.  I think this was the first time it got cancelled.  I remember we were all a little disappointed for about 2.5 seconds, and then...then we realized we had some FREE TIME!!!!  This is pretty descriptive of the joy I felt...and clearly I wasn't alone in that feeling...one of the millions of moments of happiness from that summer.  :)

It's just a test run, but it'd be so neat if it worked out, don't you think?  I love you all so much, and look forward to hearing from you soon!  

Love,

Thomps
