This year, I've been super lucky to pick up great friends, strengthen friendships, annnnnd get a bff :)
Really, I love all people in my life and appreciate my friendships but there are some particular people that are dear to me. I guess my not-so-busy Sunday night and appreciation for my bffs have combined into making this blog so here goes!
my mom. this lady is amazing and she has always been there for me. I love her! There have been times when I have felt "lonely" and gloomy, but looking back my mom has always been there. I'm not ashamed to admit that my mom is my go-to girl, she and I have contrasting personalities but she always has a solution that is to my ultimate best interest and I know she wouldn't care if I got some mascara and tears on her best dress. My mom is a combination of what I am and what I aspire to be. These and many other qualities qualify her for one of my bffs.
my dad. while we're at it I'll just say how awesome and dandy my dad is. I can honestly say that there has never been a moment when my dad hasn't cared for me, he is always willing to serve and I really am a daddy's girl because I love spending time with him, even when I'm exploding with teenage anger and my roller coaster of emotions. He's always on the lookout for me and I love how he can always make me laugh and smile, even when I ready to cry my eyes out.
emmie. i love my bff. she's so hilariously awkward it cracks me up and I love her quirky personality. The conversations we have would not make sense to anyone but us and when we got our iPhones (seriously the same weekend) we just sent each other the silliest things. Among having the same phones, we probably have 5 or more articles of clothing that are the same, we didn't even plan it. She also has a blog, you should check it out sometime It's an entertaining read.She was so nice to me when Abel left for his mission and she's like a sister to me. I'm gonna miss her when she's gone for 2 weeks in Florida! She is a truuuuuuuuuue frieeeeeennnd.
maddy. where do I even begin? Our friendship kind of sprouted out of nowhere (I snap chatted her and didn't know that it was a weird thing for me to do until she told me recently). You see, we've known each other since maybe elementary school because of Josee but this year we officially became friends in pre-calc honors. I love this lady. She makes me laugh on end and her personality is matched by none other. She can make me laugh whenever and I trust her with my girl probz. I also had maddy withdrawals when she left me for San Diego this past weekend. She even made a Pinterest board dedicated to our friendship, it's called "Let's Get Fat Together", you're probably dying to read it now. We also have matching outfits and didn't even plan it. If you don't know her, you need to.
abel. is it obvious yet how much I love my brother? It wasn't obvious to me until this summer. He took me all over this past summer, from cliff jumping up at Causey, rope swinging into lakes at Kaysville and Farmington, staying up alll night playing apps on Manny's iPhone and my mom's iPad, jeeping up and all around the B at sunset, late night walks with Sparky, walking by the creek and laughing our heads off at Manny, and literally beating anger and bad feelings out on old machinery multiple times (while screaming at the top of our lungs), midnight runs to in-n-out, jeeping to Flaming Gorge, watching the dark knight rises multiple times, salt lake city sandwich eating, and spending days at the beach up at Pineview to bearing his testimony to me countless times, being a huge example to me, teasing me, and actually spending time with his dorky little sister. There's been many other spontaneous acts (and texts) of kindness and pure crazy adventure that Abel has performed this summer with me. Although I miss him, I'm sooo excited for him in the mission field. This guy is one of a kind and I simply love him. THERE I SAID IT.
danae & katie. I can't write about these ladies separately because both of them, are huge examples to me and I just love them both so dearly. We have spent countless nights giving our abs a workout from the ridiculous laughs we've shared and I don't know why but I feel like if I ever had the urge to dance in a rainstorm, they'd be the first ones I'd call.
the gal pals. Abby, Chloe, and Josee are my favorite ladies. We all have such strikingly different and contrasting personalities but for some reason, whether it be our friendship that started wayyy back or the adventures and heartbreaks we've shared and encountered together, we always come back together every year and I feel like we may be friends forever. I really love these girls and I feel like in them, I can confide many secrets in. I adore each one of them and their personalities that they contribute to our friendship and I can't imagine what life, jr. high especially, would have been without them. I cherish our friendship!
roman. I'll include him in this blog post for old time's sake, and I know that he hates blogs. I really love Roman, he and I became friends in 7th grade and he has probably made me laugh the most out of all the people in my life. He always has a ridiculous and witty joke to offer and has made me feel really happy in times when I have felt pretty sad. I've confided in him some of my jr. high secrets as he has done with me and he is somewhat of a brother to me. He may not realize it, but his jokes and simple conversations with me have really made my day before. He's a day maker and a nerd, it's simple as that.
sparky. I could cry, I love Sparky so much. It may sound crazy for me to adore my puppy so much, but he really is my pride and joy. He is such a handsome golden retriever (yes I just used the word handsome) and he is such a day maker. His personality is that of a human's and whenever I see him stretch or yawn or do some dogly thing, I go back to when I was 12 and just got the cutest ball of fur in the whole wide world. I love my puppy and I'm not afraid to say it.
wendy & michelle. my cousins are so fun to hang out with and I really enjoy spending time with them. From the time we've been little, whenever we hang out we are inseparable. We do everything together and we laugh on end. Recently, Wendy had to take care of a fake baby for school, I named him Jay-Z, we laughed, and it was joy. I love my cousins!

There you go! Just some of the special people in my life, note the words "just some" there are many more out there. It's actually really simple, if you're in my life, whatever insignificant or significant role you play I appreciate and love you! And now here are the daily picture posts.
