She was named Bethany, which evolved into Beanie, Bean, Beaner, and Nini. The girls in the family go by their middle names, so when she learned that her first name was Loren and that we all had the same last names, she believed we all had the same first names too...I was Loren Lindsey, the brothers were Loren Nic and Loren Michael, and so on.
When she was little she had strawberry blonde hair that curled up above her ears, loved to dress up and sang songs every day for about 5 years straight. Everyone knew she was going to be a performer, but most of us thought she would start by being a character on Barney. So we bought her some saddle oxfords like "Min" wore. But there were bigger fish to fry.
She now plays the Viola on a scholarship at Utah State University and has plans to get her master's in Boston. The girl got all the talent, disproportionately to the 3 other siblings, but she's also got all the niceness and we can't help but love her like crazy.Here's to you, Bean. Happy birthday, I can't believe you're 19 already!
