I am just so grateful for those people in my life that care about me and help me to be a better person. That help me see what I want in life and what I don't.
Today I had a life chat with Jenna and it was great. We sat at Wendy's deciding that we were ready change our lives and do some good. We left feeling nervous, overwhelmed, stupid and exhausted. So naturally we turn to shopping. Retail therapy. try it, Works like a charm. Anyways, I am just so blessed to have her in my life in such a close way. She is literally the only person that knows everything about me. Literally everything. And I'm not sure how she gets me to tell her all of it but it happens. She is the biggest blessing in my life and I don't think that is going to change anytime soon. There is a reason the two of us are friends and roommates. God works in mysterious ways and I know that He has had a hand in my life the last years since I met Jenna. I know that we moved into the Sandy house instead of the Murray one for her. I know it. It was for the two of us to meet, become friends, go through life together, go to college together and hopefully be friends for life because she is the rock in my life. She may not know this but I look up to her so much. She just always knows the right thing to do and she isn't going to make up stupid excuses or anything. She is such strong girl and just knows what to do. She is so talented and I love to see her photography and when she lets me be her model. :) She is the best and I am so grateful that she is in my life and will be for at least 8 more months. :)
There are so many people that are special in my life and you know who you are, I am just feeling the love from 2 especially today. So who's next? Drum roll please.
Jake Olsen, The cutest, nicest kid on the planet. This kid is seriously unreal. I met him the first day of 7th grade, I was new, just moved in and knew no one. He was a sweetheart and introduced himself to me in art class. I proceeded to secretly creep on him that year. I printed off pictures of his old bunny, Burberry?, so he could paint him in art class and I would eavesdrop on all his conversation. I just wanted to know everything about him. Life moved on and we stopped being best friends but that was okay, That changed quick and high school we became friends again. He was my date to my favorite dance in high school, Sophomore year prom. (Sorry all my other dates, you just couldn't top this one.) He was full of good advice and watched over me like an older brother through high school, or so I thought. Turns out we had secret crushes on each other for a long time and finally told each other right before Senior Year-end of Junior really. He was first real boyfriend ever and my first real kiss. Yup. And it was in a cave, yeah, be jealous. He spoiled me rotten and I kind of took advantage of that. I was so appreciative of it, don't get me wrong but he deserved better. Things ended...not on the best note and we didn't talk... Rough times. But still, even though we weren't talking and he wasn't my #1 fan, I still felt like if something happened I could turn to him and he would still drop everything to help me out. I don't know if that is true but that is just the kind of kid he is. He is seriously one of my best friends even though we live almost 2 hours away and we are about to live about 2 days away. He will be serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in December. He will be serving in Australia!! Yeah! He is THAT cool. He is going to be the best little missionary and I am so so proud of him. I've recently found out that it takes a certain person to serve a mission and it is a HUGE deal to give up 2 years of your life to serve the Lord, even if it is in Australia. :) I can't wait until he comes back (yes, I know he hasn't even left yet) and I get to see what kind of person he has become and how much he's changed and... if he has a sexy Australian accent. :) He is always there for me and has perfect timing. Always. I can't even tell you how many times I have wanted to talk to him or needed to talk to him but talk myself out of it and he still texts or calls me with the perfect thing to say. That happened today in the middle of Jenna and mys life chat. He texted me to tell me he had just heard our song and thought of me. Simple right? Yeah. I almost cried though. Oh, whats our song, you ask? Photograph by Nickleback. I know, it's awesome. But really things like that happens all the time and I'm beginning to think he's psychic. We even have a talk spot- Brookwood Elementary. Cute, I know. I owe this kid so much and don't know that I'll ever be able to give that to him but I like to think that one day I'll be able to repay him. He is the best kid and anyone would be lucky to have him care for them. Because he's the best. He is such a strong kid and knows what he wants. Not only that but he isn't going to let anyone ruin that for him. He will get it done. He has changed my life forever and I am so grateful for that. I miss him so much right now and he is about to leave the U.S. for 2 years. rough times. And all of you girls that now want him, back off. I have dibs. And he has a girlfriend and from what I've heard, they are pretty much perfect for each other.
So, you two, I love you to the moon and back and will never be able to thank you enough. But this is my attempt and a beginning. And everyone else, don't be offended, I still love you and you'll get your day. :)
i'm cwying a wittle bit. but really...i am. this is so tender. you're the best:)
