To my friends..

Today, I just like to smile. :) Do you ever have those moments in life where you're like... aha! :):):) and you can't stop smiling because you just feel soo good? Yeah, I had one of those moments last night and it's  just carrying over to today. There are so many things in this life to be grateful for. These last couple of days I have just been bumming around because my face is the size of a small balloon and I actually haven't really been able to smile that well! haha but I realized how many reasons I have to smile. (hopefully that makes sense) Anyway, Thursday after I had gotten my wisdom teeth taken out, my best friend, miss Taylor called me just to say hi  because she missed me. Made my day and I smiled and it hurt. :) Then I was able to hang out with my best friend miss Katelyn who, pathetically enough, I haven't seen since we graduated even though she lives about 8 minutes away, and I talked to my other best friend Tiffany on the phone whom I miss, and then lo and behold my best friend forever, GRACE anne NEWMAN called me up Friday night to tell me how funny I looked with chubby cheeks! And on top of that, I never wrote about this but a week ago I was able to talk to my best friendx10 who is currently in Peru for two years...catch my drift, for about 6 minutes. Can you see my pattern here and my reason to smile? I have the BEST FRIENDS ever. I think sometimes I forget about the people who have always been there for me because I know they always will be. Basically I take them for granted. But I've really learned to appreciate them this week and how much they do for me. So today is to my best friends! Today is for my friends.

My best friend, Elder McKeachnie
64 days...

best friends for life. I love these girls.

My amazing sister who I got to judge the Miss Hinckley pageant with for the second year in a row! 

and Grace :) best friends since we were little  babies.

Thanks so all of you who make such a difference in my life. :) I don't know what I'd do without you. And there's so many others, Patrick Peterson, he's the bomb. And he is actually serving in the army right now so I have so much respect and gratitude for him. He's also a wonderful friend I can't forget Elder Garrett Lund, never, never. :) I love you all. 

hahahaha I just had to add this for my own personal delight.

And the amazing people calling me game has continued...how lucky am I? I need to add Cade William Lubeck to my list of best friends as well. He's awesome and amazing and I hope he always knows that I look up to him. I don't know how I got so lucky to have the people in my life that I do, but I'll be forever grateful.

Cade taught me how to snowboard :)
 Bless his heart, I fell down so many times. He's a patient one.
