I had an overwhelming LOVE for my roommates.

we always talk about how lucky we are to have each other!

i love these girls. 

SO SO much.

they are some of the best people i've ever met in my life.

alright,

so besides the fact that she's freaking beautiful,

this is Brittany,

she's seriously one of the coolest girls i've ever met.

she is so sincere and sweet, 

she's always so happy.

i think i have yet to see her mad.

i love being around her.

she's so great!

this is Jennifer!

she's so funny.

i don't know her that well, because she's such a busy bee,

but she is so funny!

i hope to get to know her better!

this is Bre. 

she's such a sweetheart. i love this girl to death.

she's gone a lot, 

but she sure is sweet!

i hope i can get to know her better!

this is the other Brie.

one of the greatest people i've ever known.

holy crap!

she has this genuine love for EVERYONE.

not a joke.

she's so fun to be around.

she's like a little ball of light.

for some reason her and i just click.

we get eachother.

i love her so much.

This is Haley.

she's my roommate.

and i have a lez crush on her.

the end.

Lez Romance

First of all. 

i am not a lesbian.

even though my mom thinks i am...

i'm really really not.

but, if i was a lesbian, it would be with this girl:

wouldn't you be?

lesbihonest. 

she's the prettiest thing ever.

i love this girl sooo much. it's unreal.

this was the beginning of our friendship.

senior year, we both were in the Women's Association club.

it was one of the clubs you had to run for, and we were lucky enough to make it.

well, i think that was God's hand.

i'll be honest.

but, the first night of the WA girls hanging out we went to Erika Mosses' cabin.

SO awkward. most of us didn't know each other.

and we watched Baby Mamma and then "went to bed" 

when really we all were awake until like 3, but we thought everyone else was asleep.

isn't that the best?

oh the awkward beginning.

the year moved on and me and Loni just clicked. 

i don't know what it was about her.

we just got along.

plus everyone in WA was kinda weird.

but i love those girls.

they are such a good group of girls.

and i secretly miss it.

but, after that me and Loni would hang out everyone once and a while.

she had a boyfriend for a while after we graduated.

they broke up and we hung out.

then we decided to hang out all the time.

we got to know each other really fast.

we hung out literally everyday in the summer. 

if we weren't hanging out we were texting of facebooking, or twittering back and forth.

we just hit it off like you would not believe.

i love everything about this girl.

she is beautiful.

so sincere.

she cares for people, so so much.

you feel so loved.

especially when you hang out with her family.

they have a serious love for everyone.

she has the best heart.

she SO funny.

we would laugh forever.

no matter what we were doing we were having a good time.

we literally watched Spice World one day and had the best time.

which is unreal because that movie is the worst.

i feel like this last summer was one of the best because of her.

the zoo!

7/11

the spider web at the zoo!

gopher sighting!

Alpine Slide!

after the Alpine slide.
super lady like.

sitting in traffic

watching the meteor shower!

such a fun night!

Needless to say. being and hour and a half away from your best friend is not the easiest thing.

it's the worst.

i miss her so much.

it's hard to go from seeing someone everyday to never seeing them.

especially when it's someone so close to you.

if i ever need someone to talk to or need someone to make me feel better i always turn to her.

she's the greatest.

i can't say that enough.

i think one thing i love about her is that she loves me.

its crazy having someone so accepting of who you are.

and someone who wants to hang out with you despite all of that.

So, Lon. 

this is for you.

i love you, and i miss you.

i can't wait to see you next weekend. 

you are one of the best people i've ever met.

thank you for always being there for me and loving me so fully.

you deserve the best!:)

W-O-M-A-N

yes. today has turned out to be such a lovely day.

i woke up to go to my first class and couldn't even open my eyes my head hurt so bad.

turned my alarm off and woke up in time to get ready for English.

i start changing my clothes only to realize today is the first day of my "time of the month". 

wonderful.

i then get dressed and rush out the door to get to class without any breakfast.

i start walking across the crosswalk and like 100 yards away the bus pulls up.

2 girls full on run past me to catch it.

i felt pressured to get on it.

so i start speed walking and the nice bus driver lets me on.

i check my phone and realize i had a voicemail.

i check it to find out i had a meeting with the bishop yesterday.

 oops.

i get to class with Haley and realize i had an email.

i check it to find out i failed my test i took yesterday.

literally failed it.

i got a 58% on it.

and i studied and felt so good about it.

that always happens to me i'm like well great! i feel so good about this! 

dead wrong.

but of course Kyle doesn't study and he gets an 86%. 

it's fine.

whatever.

i guess there's an assignment we can do to makeup some of the points.

so i guess i'll do that.

plus me and Haley went to Chic-Fil-A.

hopefully the day will get better.

My Other Half

this is a dedication to the one person i know better than myself.

well...i'll be honest, i don't know myself very well...but this isn't about me.

this is about someone i love more than anyone.

Haley Goaslind.

 I can't put into words my love for this girl. She is one of the biggest blessings in my life.

the day she moved in my mom told me that there was a girl my age living across the street and i was so nervous. i thought i was the shiz. but, i was not going down a very good path. God stepped in and threw Haley at me. we didn't click at first, but the first day of school, my 8th grade year, her 7th grade year we clicked. i knew this girl was the coolest. she always looked cute and had the cutest hair. she knew how to talk to boys and be their friends.

everyone is drawn in by her fun, loving personality. she knows how to have a good time and make you laugh. she knows how to cheer me up when i'm sad, and help me get my ragies out when i'm mad. She knows me better than probably a lot of people. that's something that just comes with time. we've been friends for the last...7 years. and real best friends. we've had our fights and our times where we didn't like each other, but the fact that we can get through that shows something.

yesterday, we went to Wendy's and had some life chat. we decided that we're changing ourselves for the better. we both have stuff we need to get over, and i don't think we could have done it without each other. we decided that this is why we're roommates. we need each other more than we even knew. 

i can honestly say she's the only person in this world who knows close to EVERYTHING about me. she is my tender mercy. 

Haley is one of the most beautiful person.

she loves life, and loves herself. 

she's so confident in herself, i always looked up to her for that.

i will admit i always wanted to be her...up until like 2 years ago.

i look up to her in every way.

she's one of those people that things just work out for.

i think it's because she's so wonderful that there's no way it couldn't work out.

she has the most beautiful voice and i swear i could pick it out of 600 people.

i love to listen to her sing and harmonize with every song.

i love to read her face, sounds creepy, but i don't mean it like that.

you can tell everything she's thinking by her eyes. 

or maybe i can, because i know her emotions so well.

i love the fact that she cares SO much about people.

sometimes it's kind of a joke.

she has this effect on people, that her happiness makes you happy,

same with her rage.

i love that she's a sucker for romance.

i truly love that.

i can't wait to see her and tell her about my day.

(way lesbian. it's fine.)

i love that pretty much everything that she says is just hilarious.

i'll fight anyone that doesn't think she's funny.

she has this way with kids, and they love her.

she's going to be the best mom in the whole world.

i am so grateful for her influence in my life.

i wouldn't be the same person if i didn't know her.

who know's where i would be without her.

so Hay, this is for you.

i love you.

you're such a blessing and i'm so glad i get to live with you.

thank you for putting up with me and all my crap.

i love everything about you.

Peace and Blessings.

I am about to venture on a list of things i'm thankful for.

we'll see what i come up with.

these are all completely out of order.

but this is how i thought of them...

so whatever.

foot...game...foot..foot...game..

whatever.

first off.

My kitty, MiMi.

if he's not cute, i don't know what is.

cutest animal.

he misses me when i'm gone and let's me hold him when i get back!

next has to be my family.

yeah, they're the greatest!

ok, so i didn't mean for my cat to be in front of them.

but i didn't want to change it.

but my family is the greatest. i'm SO thankful for everything they do.

they are the best examples i have and i know i can turn to them when i need them.

plus i just really like to hang out with them!

the next is dance.

i love dance. so much.

it kept me sane and healthy.

i owe my sanity to TDC. for sure.

plus it helped me branch out and meet other people.

my bed.

ok, so this isn't me, or my bed.

but it's the only thing i could find even close to it! 

but i love my bed. and the fact that it's so comfortable.

i'm lucky to have one!

My best friend Loni.

oh man.

this girl is one of the best things that could have ever happened to me.

i can't even think of the time where we became best friends.

but,

it happened fast.

i love everything about her.

i love her family, and her dogs.

and the fact that i can be myself around her.

love you Loni!

next..

my best friend Haley.

i love this girl more than anything!

she's the best person ever.

this girl...there's too much to say in a few lines.

but i love her.

to death.

woof. we have so much fun when we're together.

we get along really well, most of the time:)

but at the end of the day i love her more than i can say.

i'm SO lucky to have her as a roommate. 

which leads me to...

my room mates!

so minus Lyndsey...

that's them.

Me, Haley, Brie, Bre, Britt and Jenn

i LOVE these girls. 

i couldn't have asked for better roommates.

Mike and Kyle.

yes, i do love these boys.

these 2 boys...

man, they are the best.

they have been awesome friends so far.

especially since they'll let me play COD and box me!

they're the Coolest.

the boys of D2!

way nice picture i stole off of facebook.

but i feel so thankful to have these boys in my life.

they are some of the sweetest, most down to earth people i've ever met.

i can't wait to get to know them better!

well this is embarrassing,

but i'm thankful for Chili's.

not so much the food.

well ok, so the DC and the chips and salsa.

but the memories we had there are priceless.

love me so Chili's!

i think me and Loni went at least twice a week in the summer.

nice.

School should be on this list.

and this is the only picture i could find of anything Aggie.

so far i love school and i'm so thankful to be able to get such a wonderful education.

i am one lucky person.

so this is a short this.

and pretty general.

but i love my life and i'm happy to be on this earth and be surrounded by such wonderful people.

Wedding Obsessed.

The title says it all. i love weddings...i don't stalk wedding blogs, but i do sometimes stalk wedding photographers. it's fine. wedding pictures are just beautiful...and so are weddings. one of my best friend's sister is getting married a weekend in November and i am so excited about it!! i can't even explain how excited i am.

this is her:

she's the greatest! and i love her soon-to-be husband. he's also the best. they are one of my favorite couples in the whole world! really though.
the greatest!
i'm going all wedding crazy because tomorrow is my cousin's wedding. his soon-to-be wife isn't LDS, so they're not getting married in the temple...but the city county building, which i'm really excited for! because i haven't really been to a wedding where it's like a ceremony...well..that i can go to at least and i'm so freaking excited! i think weddings like that are beautiful, which i'm sure they're just as beautiful in the temple...but me not being endowed...i can't really see one.
but i was just told by Allison's (the girl in the picture) sister that she's walking down the isle to a Mumford and Sons song. "Sigh No More". way majestic. look it up if you don't know it. it so fits her and i about teared up when i listened to it. uh! i'm so excited. i love weddings...and wedding cake...and..everything about it. My brother and sister in law got married on the 19th of august. it was such a beautiful wedding. unreal! we were all kinda worried, but it really came together and turned out SO pretty. loved it. with all my heart.

aren't they the cutest?! aw...snuggles. 

Congrats guys!
