Still going...

Okay, if I tried to break up the posts for all of my great friends... it would take me quite awhile.

So... I'll cram as much as possible into this one-

knowing that I could never even explain how much all of these guys mean to me!

I don't know why... but I am not naturally gifted in the area of making friends with girls.
Maybe it's because they're mean sometimes- and that scares me.
Maybe it's because I'm usually wishing I was more like them- and I assume they wouldn't want to be my friend anyway.
Who knows.
Either way, here's my second shout out to a bunch of girls
who I feel like really know me for me-
and who I feel comfortable enough with to be myself.
They are definitely the friends I couldn't survive without.

Samantha and Monica-
You'd think you 2 were supposed to look up to me- since you're the younger sisters- but I am always in awe of how perfect you both are.  Thanks for being 2 of my best friends.  I am SO thankful for all the memories we have-and all the ones that are still to come!

Alli-

For being my friend even when we don't talk all the time. For helping me survive USU- and love it. 

And for understanding 100% the life of a teacher.   And for never forgetting my birthday.  Seriously.  You're incredible.

Tiffany-
 For keeping me sane now that I'm a mom.
I swear Heavenly Father sent you to help me this first year as I try to figure out what I'm doing as a mom. And of course, I'm sure He sent you just to make me want more kids- because your little girls are darling- and every time we're around your family we are so excited to have a family like that someday.

Richelle-

So thankful to have a friend that I feel like knows me better than I know myself sometimes-

and so glad that we stuck together during middle school and high school. 

It was nice to know that I always had someone by my side no matter what.
And nice to share a brain with someone.  There was so much to remember :)

Jerianne & Jodie-

 REALLY, I could not have wished for better sisters-in-law.
(What?I'm sure that's wrong. But you get what I mean).
I really do feel like you are some of my best friends.
Jeri, I love that we have so much in common.  I love that I'm so comfortable around you and that I can text you anytime just like my very best friends.
Jodie, I'm so thankful to have such a good example to look up to.  I never had an older sister so I love learning from you and getting advice especially about being a mom.

Chelsea-

 I am just so happy that you and Shane are married.  Jason and I love both of you and just think the world of you and your darling little family.  I'm so thankful to have you guys as friends and to know that even though life gets busy-we're still thinking about getting together asap.

Rachelle-

I am so thankful that I met you at USU and that we were able to stick together all the way through school.
I could not have survived it all without you.
I am also so thankful for your positive attitude and amazing testimony that shines through in everything you do.

Noelle-

 SO glad that I got to spend my summers with you!
You are so gorgeous, and talented, and such an amazing mom and wife and I've learned so much from you. 

Kat-
Wow. Talk about a positive attitude.
I am so happy that you are my friend and so thankful for your friendship and example!
Working with you was such a blessing and I have had a blast getting to know you.

Whitney-

I'll still always be sad that you guys had to move right when we started being really good friends.
I loved doing all of our yoga-ish classes on campus together and spending time hanging out while our husbands were gone.   You just better move back to Utah someday!

Mary and Patti-

I just look up to both of you so much.
I have been so lucky to watch your examples and to have you as my friends.
I want to be just like both of you when ( if ) I grow up.  :)

WOw... not even close to finishing... but for lack of time... and feeling in my hands... I'm going to have to end this post.  More friends to come.  I'm thankful for you all!
