You Got a Friend in Me

Its been a far to long time since I have had the chance to write. And in that time I have remembered a very special and important topic that I have yet to cover here on my blog. A topic that we can all relate to in some way. What is this topic? Friendship. Friendship is something that each of us experiences in some way throughout our life time. Either with our next door neighbor, pet, sibling, childhood friend, stuffed animal or college roommate. Friendship is a love so powerful that it can compete with almost any other type of love. We always turn to our friends in times of heartbreak, in time of happiness, and in times of confusion. And we learn that true friends are always there for us through the bad and the good times. I am very lucky to have a group of friends that has been my soild foundation for many years. They have held me through my darkest moments, and laughed with me through my greatest. This group of girls has inspired me to be a better person, to open my eyes, and to love unconditionaly. Each of them has changed my life in unexplainable ways. These types of people are hard to find in this world, and for me to be able to call them my friends... that makes me feel so blessed. I aspire to be like each of them in some way. I want to take a moment and let them know why I look up to them and love them so much.

Aubri Poulsen- I dont even know were to start. There are so many things I admire about you. You are the type of person who walks into a room and automatically the room becomes a better place to be in. You know how to make everyone feel special and important, and never judged or not good enough. Beauty comes from you...not only from the outside but more importantly from the inside.

Rachel Henriksen- You have been there for me through every single road bump. You always know what to say and you have the ability to hug a person and make them feel like everything is going to be ok. People like you are so rare. You are confident, smart and beautiful yet you will be a friend to anyone. You represent all of the things that I want to become, and I strive to have the type of presence you have in my life, and in many other peoples. You touch people... with your words and with your love.

Kylee Nielsen- My most passionate friend. I love that about you. You represent everything that life is about. You love with every bone in your body. I never have to doubt that no matter what you will be there for me. You are such a forgiving, kind, and loving person. You give everything that you have to the people that you love. This is such an rare thing to find in this world these days. Dont ever let the fire die. I love seeing that spark in your beautiful blue eyes.

Becca Roylance- Becs, you can bring logic and calm to any situation. You always remind me that I dont need to be so caught up in the negative. Because of you I have realized that I have the choice to look at every single situation in either a postive or negative light. You have shown me that being happy is easy... if you live your life according to a postive out look. Thank you for that.

Angie Fishler- Wow. We have been through.... well everything would be a understatement. I have experianced so many firsts with you. I think that the greatest lessons that I have learned have come from our friendship. I am the person that I am, because of our friendship. I will always remember us as little 12 year olds jumping on the wet tramp in socks, listening to one year six months, getting our first kisses, laughing so hard that we would cry (over nothing). You were the first person that showed me true friendship and unconditional love. Through all the good and bad things that we have been through... You will always hold an unreplaceable place in my heart.

These are a few of my best friends. They are all the most amazing people that I have in my life. Each of them has been a source of enlightenment and taught me so many lessons. I strive to hold the qualities that theses girls have, and I love and respect each of them in ways that they will never know. I hope that they realize how much they mean to me... and that I will carry their friendships with my through out my entire life. <3
