The Twelve Friends of Christmas Three

Today we're giving a shout out to Badger, also known as Alex Lewis or Travis' girlfriend.

She's a dancer.  From Las Vegas.  Oh, it gets better.  She is one of the best liars I've ever met and a talented conspirator.  Yet she is also one of the most gentle, open, trusting people I've known.  She jokes around a lot, yeah, but she goes to great lengths to make sure everyone is having a good time and feels accepted.  I aspire to the way she treats others.  She is willing to try anything and expand herself.

Whether it is having a huge box full of popcorn and a Travis inside her house or jokes about her having a boy's name or constant mocking of her extreme clean needs she takes it in stride.  She can take just as intense of a joke as she gives out.  Hikes to hot springs.  Teaching us yoga (or really just dance stretches).  Keeping Travis busy.  Bedtime stories.  The enormous and frequent ward activities and great home evenings.  She is a gem.  And definitely one of my favorites from BYU.

Thank you Badger.  Merry Christmas.

  1. Thank you for your post about Badger. Your succinct description of her major talents paints a pretty picture of her personality: A lying, conspiring dancer from Vegas. Yes, this explains a lot.
