Friends
Every year before school would start, my parents would repeat the same phrase, over and over.
"Make good friends"
So, over the years, I have truly tried to follow that counsel. I haven't always been perfect at it, and at times had some friends who could have easily led me down a path that I know would have made me miserable.
But those were few and far between, and those friendships didnt last.
Aside from those few times, I can honestly say that I believe have followed that counsel. My friends are amazing! They are such great examples to me, and I dont know where I would be without them. It seems like all of them are doing such great things with their lives! Going on missions, going to school, working at amazing places, and in general, just doing great things. I always have so much fun with them!
So i just want to say
THANK YOU!!
You guys are the BEST!

Crazy
It has been a crazy few weeks around here. So many things have happened!
For starters, I got a new job!!
My old job was ,well, getting old, and I needed a change.
It was great for High School, but I was ready to move on to bigger and better things.
Now I will be doing something that truly makes a difference in peoples lives, and I am so excited!!
I am going to be working with developmentally disabled people, specifically teenagers.
It is going to be a new experience, one that will be challenging.
REALLY challenging, but I cant wait!
I know that I am doing something good, and I really think that this experience will help me with so many things later on in life.
Another big thing is friends leaving on missions.
(P.S. I would apologize for always talking about missions, but, i'm really not sorry :) Its a huge part of my life right now)
One missionary in particular is my friend Kevin. We have been friends since 7th grade.
That is about 6 years.
He is like a brother to me and I am so proud of him for deciding to serve! I was there when he was set apart, and it was such a cool experience! You could feel the spirit so strongly, and you could just tell that everyone in that room felt it and knew that he had made the right decision.
Here are a few of my favorite memories/stories/inside jokes with Kevin
1. "Cool story bro, tell it again"
2. "Kevin, what is integrity?"
3. Teen Tones
4. Getting the card stuck in the ceiling if the choir room and the boys (without saying a word to each other) forming a pyramid with Kevin at the top to get it down
5. He's hilarious!
6. Ms. Kerby's Spanish class
7. Bouncy Balls
8. He is super nice to everyone
There are so many more funny things, but I don't have time to write them all. He is going to be a fantastic missionary and I am so glad he is my friend!
Oh yeah, and I got bangs.
I know, I know, that isn't nearly as exciting as a new job or missions, but it is a pretty big change for me
and I love it!
Well, I think that about covers it for now. I'm sure that as soon as I post this I will think of something else to add, but, such is life.
