Chettles:  We'll have faux-mosas on Monday - it's just orange juice in a champagne glass! :)

Mom to her son:  Chet! 
Chet Lee:  Whaaat!? Who said that?? ...That's MY name! Oh my gosh, this is awesome! We have to get a picture!!  ...Do a thumbs up. :)

(Sidetrip to McDonalds)
Lauralai:  These are my people...  (pause) the homeless and the crazy.
Chet:  The longer we sat there, I was thinking, yeah, these are not my people.

Chet (pausing the movie for a random interjection): Hey, didn't Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid have twins in real life??
Me: Hmm, I don't know. I know they were married, but --
Jeff: No, they weren't! He was married to that girl who died in the skiing accident.
Laura: No, I think that was actually Liam Neeson -- how weird that that's the second time this week someone has mentioned her dying in the ski accident!
Chet: Pretty sure he married Meg Ryan. But I'm thinking they had twins?
Jeff: Nooo - oh, are you meaning Liam Neeson and Meg Ryan??
Chet: NO!
Me: Wait, so you're saying that he married Natasha Richardson?
Jeff: Yes. Dennis Quaid. I promise you. And yes, they did have twins!
Chet: Umm, that was Parent Trap.
....("Light bulb moment" pause)....
Jeff: That WAS Parent Trap! ......Never mind.
....(everyone cracking up)....
Laura: Dennis Quaid is Linday Lohan's dad - Whaaat!? :)

"Thanks so much for coming, have a safe trip home." ~Chet, saying goodbye to Karli's grandma at their wedding
"I'm still not sure about this." -her grandma, pointing at him and Karli
...I know that's terrible, but I gotta say, it's also pretty funny.  I can just picture Chet smiling and gritting his teeth saying, "Okaaaay, have a nice niiight." LOL

Me:  "If you could spend one hour with any celebrity, dead or alive, who would it be?"
Jeff:  "I would pick Conan O'Brien."
Chet:  "August 9th:  The day Jeff became dead to me." lol

"We had a conversation about skiing while we had pizza the other night.  However, ___ was in the conversation, but he is not invited...  This is a very exclusive thing."  ~Chet

Discussing whether we'd rather live with no arms or no legs...
Jeff:  "Plus, those blade things -- those are kind of in right now!"
Chet:  "Yeaaah.  People are just lopping off their legs left and right."

"Would anybody like some blackberries or raw cookie dough!?"  Chet, bringing out the dessert at their house :)

"Okay, so do you all understand the premise of The Golden Girls?"  ~Jeff
"Just that it's four old women living together?"  ~Me
"Ding, ding, ding, ding!"  ~Chet

One morning, instead of going to work out, we Wikipedia'd all the Golden Girls and how they died.  ~Chet

At the gym on the morning of Chet's wedding:
Man, you're getting married today.  I'm so happy for you guys.  This is gonna be such a hugechange in your life.  ~Jeff
"I will remember you..."  ~Sarah McLaughlin song starting on the radio :)

You look really sad.  ~Chet, looking at the picture of Jeff
Lindsey, will you take another one?  I look sad here.  ~Jeff
I was just thinking that!!  ~Chet
Umm... you said it.  ~Jeff  :)

I really like the brown.  ~Chet, about Jessie's b-day card
Yeah, I figured it was very manly.  ~Jessie
Yeah.  Matches my personality!  ~Chet :)

Here's what I'm wondering - where are all these people normally in Tulsa on a Friday night!?  ~Jeff, at the outdoor concert
Probably smoking pot, braiding their hair, and NOT showering!  ~Chet, totally deadpan

What's your favorite genre of movie, Chet?  I know you like Seabiscuit.  ~Jeff
Yeah, horses and rom coms - that's all me!  I love a good love story!  ~Chet =)

Did you know packs of candles only go up to 24!?  What about people who are turning 25!!?  ~Chettles

(We solved that dilemma with the star candle that night...)

His wish-making face in the above collage and the one below from this year makes me really happy! lol  I hope they all come true! =)

HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY, CHET LEE!!!  

Random fun fact:  I found your birthday in the Bible during my daily readings this year.
Sad fact:  It's the day the Israelites were captured by Babylon. lol
"Two and a half years later, on July 18, the Babylonians broke through the wall, and the city fell." -Jeremiah 39:2

(Mine isn't much better, the day God sent the flood to destroy almost everything:)

"When Noah was 600 years old, on the seventeenth day of the second month, all the underground waters erupted from the earth, and the rain fell in mighty torrents from the sky."-Genesis 7:11

Anyway, just thought I'd throw that in. lol  

Thanks for being one of my closest and most loyal and dependable friends, as well as one of the funniest guys I know! =)  I have so many fun memories with you and I look forward to more in the future!  You will always be one of my very favorite people, and I hope you have a fantastic 30th birthday and an awesome new decade ahead!! ❤
