Friends FOREVER...

So lately I've been super grateful for almost everything in my life. Seriously. On Saturday night I believe it was I was just at a super low point in life and said a prayer that honestly changed my life , because I didn't even expect to feel the spirit that strongly and unexpectedly. I had been journaling about what a great childhood I was blessed with and I just started crying during my prayer because I felt so Grateful for my sisters. Everyone , but especially my sisters. I was thinking of how My sisters and I had so much fun and how great of parents the Lord saw fit to bless us with. Which leads me to my family best friend list. This list is not in any particular order mind you...

Daddy- He is probably the coolest guy ever and i'm so glad he's mine. As a child he let us put bows in his hair and paint his toenails ( with clear nail polish) and let us play McDonalds in the back of his truck. He taught us how to change and rotate tires , he taught us to change the oil in our cars. It's stuck and I can't think of how many times it's come in handy. He's also brought me my keys late at night numerous times. Picked me up from school for years... He's done everything.

Mommy- I am constantly thankful that my mom made us do things we HATED to do as kids. For example... make dinners. This comes in especially handy here in Utah since everyone in my apartment needs to eat , but i'm the only one who knows how to cook. FANTASTIC . It also comes in handy when you're trying to impress the cute boy in the apartment over. She's also great for advice and there are weeks I find myself calling her at least once a day to ask her something or the other. So thanks for that mom.

Brett- I miss this girl so much. She's so fashionable. I love when I get to talk to her , especially since I hardly ever get to anymore. I almost wish I had skype so we could talk more often. I love her stories and I love the way she talks with her hands. She's fun and loveable, and I see the world opening up for her. I see so much potential. It's amazing. I'm jealous.

Colby- I love talking to this girl all the time. She makes me laugh when i'm sad , and gives me great advice. Especially when I have questions and don't even think to look at google. She is the great Shark Slayer. There are moments she reminds me of myself. When I was younger and had so much potential. I know she'll do amazing things with her life because she's extremely talented.

I'm super glad I had such great sisters to grow up with. I couldn't and wouldn't ask for it to be any other way. I love all the memories we had. like dressing up Hunter and pushing him around in our doll stroller. Like starting Grasshopper hospitals. like playing pioneer in the backyard. good times.

now for my utah friends.

Gregg is my bestest friend out here. not even kidding. I can tell him anything and everything and he never judges me. He loves me no matter what and I appreciate that. He's always been there to let me cry on his shoulder or just to listen. He's willing to be crazy with me , and he's always willing to make me laugh. He has awesome quilt fort parties with me where we listen to music, eat ben and jerrys and watch jeff dunham. He colors on the sidewalk with me. He plays on the playground with me. He brings me Strawberry DR. Peppers. He holds my hand and tells me he loves me. He kisses me on my forehead. I love this boy.

Jamie- I love her. I can never get over how much we have in common. I'm super glad to have her as my "sister away from home" I can talk to her and sing with her. We do lots of stuff together. She even lets me borrow her laptop so I can blog like i'm doing now.

RYAN- Probably my second favorite boy out here. I love talking to him. I think we are ... what's the word ? you know for soul best friends? anyways. I knew from the moment I met him that we'd be good friends. He comes to me for advice and I go to him for advice. He lets me vent to him , and I let him vent to me. He's super talented and super funny. He's fun to be around and always so kind.

Ginny- Oh Ginny. there is really no other words to describe her. I love her. We became best friends the day we found out we went to the same school. She's gotten me through so much drama. For that i'm grateful. She is my second sister away from home. And we act just like sisters. We fight , but we know that we'll always be there for each other. and it's nice.

In other news. I got a blessing , and it was good. But i'm going to go now. so I can journal and read scriptures , and ... well... sleep. hopefully.
