My Friends From the Past and Now

I am so grateful for the many friends that I have been given through my past years of life. I know I can't write our life stories down but I will atleast tell you I love you and I truly miss you all.
Ashley C.- Even though we are not friends anymore I still love and miss her everyday. She was my best friend for 7 years. Ashley was goofy, strong willed, out going, & she never gave up on what she wanted in life. I have so many fun memories of hanging out with her and staying up late at night laughing & trying not to be loud so we wouldn't wake up her mom & dad. She always brought a smile to my face when I was down and hurting. Ashley stood by my side through a really bad rough spot in my life (parents divorce) and she always stood up for me. I wish I could go back and change the things that split us apart but I was never given the chance. I pray for her everyday and I will until the day I die.
Sara B.- My fun, goofy, inspiring, outgoing, talented friend Sara has been a crutch in my life. I met her my junior year in high school. She is the reason where I am today in my life. Sara took me to church with her and helped me find my place in this world. She has such a gift at playing the piano and singing...I'm still jealous of her ability lol. Sara taught me patience...because there was alot of rough patches in her life that I helped her through. I never gave up on her because I knew she would never give up on me. I miss the time we lived together in Provo UT because we had so many fun times together. Sara is one of my closest best friends and I wish she was closer to me. I love You Sara..BFFE! You are my sunflower in my life.

Stephanie (F.) J.- When I moved to Provo UT, I was so nervous with living with a total stranger. The first day she came out to meet me, I knew the second I saw her everything would be okay. I am sure she laughed at my little ghetto datsun 210 that I drove 1,000 miles but it got me there safely with no problems. Steph is and has been my inspiration with staying strong in the gospel and losing weight. Even though my stay in Provo was only 4 months, Steph will be a life time friend. She kept me strong, even if she didn't know it. She also had a beautiful singing voice, I loved getting ready for church and different activities because she would sit in our small hallway in front of the mirror and sing to whatever she put on. I pull out my little scrap book every now and again to remember those times. I would relive those 4 months any day. Steph I love you and I miss you!
Emily E.- My mentor, bestfriend, & Mom in a way. You and your family where my family & home away from home. I miss being able to walk down the street and hanging out or you calling me randomly to go grocery shopping so you could breath for just a few moments with out boys crawling down your back for something. You kept me strong through all the transitions in my life from waiting to be baptized, to being baptized, to living a normal life, being my mentor with everything, and being my escort to the temple. You have been there for me no matter what and that means the whole world to me. I love You Em and I wish I was closer to you.
Judi F.- My Bestfriend & Big Sister. I have known you over 16 years now. You and I have been through alot together. I am grateful that you grew up 3 houses down from me. I miss our slumber parties and our camping trips in each others front yards. You and I will be best friends for eternity. Even though we are not biological sisters you are close enough in my heart to be one. I miss you and your family everyday. You are such a wonderful mother to your boys and such an example to me. I miss hearing you sing and playing the many instruments that you played. You are so talented with the things you have a passion for. Especially your jewelry. One day I promise to buy something again from you ;). No matter where we are in our lives, I know we will never grow apart from each other. I miss you everyday and I Love You!
