Welcoming the Wilsons

When you think of the Wilsons, you may think of these guys. 

But believe me when I say that this Wilson has NOTHING on this Wilson family

(Can you believe I have a picture with them? My reputation is soaring!)

This family has even greater qualities than the famous Wilson family, plus the mod advantage of not being celebrities. 

You all know from experience (or former blog posts) that Cat Wilson (fondly known as Catrina) is incomparable. Her skills, talents, beauty, and charm go beyond all measures. For Galentine's Day she made us "friendship candles" and a floral bow tie for my puppy. Recently I asked her, "If you were a bear, what kind of bear would you be?" and she responded, "A polar bear, because they're cute, but they'll kill you." And that, my friends, is Cat Wilson.

If you have ever been on campus during a gloomy day and feel a sudden rush of unexpected joy, you have probably been in a five mile radius of Sam Wilson. Carpenter of fine coffee tables, future doctor, often in a sweater, occasionally caught eating a cupcake for breakfast, Sam's jubilee radiates throughout Starkville.

Kellyn Mahesh (soon-to-be-Wilson) is everything you could ever hope for in a person. (Kellyn, if you are reading this, I'm sorry for how creepy I sound). I knew this upon meeting her, but it was reinforced permanently when she appeared to our Galentine's Day party ("the best day of the year!") in a full Tom Haverford costume, beard included, with beautifully crafted Parks & Recreation themed cupcakes. People, she painted a WAFFLE in icing on one of the cupcakes. A WAFFLE. (Breakfast food and cupcake, all in one. What more could you possibly want!?) She is the only person I know who still looks beautiful with a beard painted on her face. Clearly, she is fit to be a Wilson.

Today the notorious Hank Wilson arrived in Starkville for a visit. Like all other Wilsons, he has traveled throughout the world (Hawaii to Huntsville). Now he is up north serving in the Coast Guard, so his visit to Starkville is a BIG deal. I had heard so much about Hank. Not only is he burly with tattoos and , but he also has incredible knitting skills. Evidently he has some mad surfing skills and  I heard about an incident including a few gallons of milk and a sledge hammer... Needless to say, if Cat, Hank & I were on a boat and only two of us could survive, I would be the first to go. 

And this is the Wilson family. Many congratulations to their parents (who are also wonderful). 

If you ever have a day in which your self confidence has exceeded proper proportions, just take a look at this family and you'll receive an appropriate reality check.
