H: Holly is just too far away for my taste.

I: In the absence of my judgment everything would be just fine.

J: I was always so ready to move on from the last name Johnson. Turns out it's not that big an issue when you live someone other than Minnesota.

K: I wonder what ever happened to my friend Mark Keating from high school.

L: All you need is love. Dum dum dum dum dum.

M: Mabel is the name of Deelayne's new black lab. She was rescued from the pound because her (now) older brother Booger had taken to sleeping in the bathtub since his older sister Annie was put down.

U: Utah. The last place I ever thought I would live. Wait, I never even thought about it.

W: I have been to more than 45 weddings in my life. 12 of which I have participated in. I was the bride just once.

X: I don't think I have ever had an xray. I have had a lot of things, but never this.

Y: The color of my bedroom carpet growing up was bright yellow. It matched my brother Justin's orange and Tyler's pee green. Gotta love the 70s.

Z: I really dislike visiting zoos. It's too sad seeing every animal caged up for our supposed viewing pleasure. Please don't ask me to go to the zoo.
