When I decided to write a blog today at first I had no idea
what I was going to write about, but then I remembered back to ward prayer on
Sunday and I knew exactly what I need to say. I am probably going to cry as I
write this. These past 9 months have gone by so incredibly fast. This year I
have met the most amazing people. Tomorrow, some of those people are moving out
of Village and I wont see them again for a while. In fact, one of them left
today. A lot of the time I don’t actually tell people exactly how much they
mean to me, it is something that I need to work on.
Today, my friend Trevor moved back to Vernal. Trevor is a
strange cookie, but I love the kid to death. Making him uncomfortable every
time I saw him was always fun. Trevor is a good guy and he deserves the best in
life. He is kind of shy, but he has the most amazing personality once you get
him to open up. So, Trevor, you should know that you mean the world to me and I
am so glad that I had the opportunity to get to know you this year. Also, you
should know that we will go camping in Vernal this summer. Okay? Okay.
Tomorrow, Josh, Stockton, Rachelle, Brea, and Austyn are all
moving out. I am going to miss all of these people so much. I have honestly
never cared about someone as much as I care about these people. In high school
and such, I had friends and I liked them, but I seriously love these people
with all my heart. I would take a bullet for any of them any day.
I want to like write a paragraph about all of them but it
may be cheesy… oh well.
Josh is seriously one of the most genuine people I have ever
met. I knew that we would be really close the day I first met him and I farted
in front of him and he just laughed. Josh is moving to St. George and I am
going to miss him so much! I feel like I can tell him anything and he will
never judge me for it. Actually, he makes some smart mouth remark about it that
is hilarious and makes me forget all about it. Joshy, the last blog I wrote
about you was not the nicest but I love you so much! You are great and I am so
glad I met you.
Stockton, I don’t even know where to start. Stockton and
Josh are kind of a package deal. If you want one the other just kind of comes
with. I am not saying that is a bad
thing. These are the only pictures that I have of Stockton. Strange..Stockton is awesome. He means a lot to me. I have had so many little
advice sessions with him and he always knows what to say to make me feel
better. I am so grateful that I met him. He was so awkward around girls when I
first met him because he had only been home from his mission for oh…. A few days.
I remember he sat on the opposite end of the couch with his knees tucked to his
chest and I sat on the other end. Once he became less awkward he is one of the
funniest, most caring, genuine, awesome people that I have ever met. Stockton,
I know you say you wont be here for my farewell but you should know that you
really do have to come and that you are very important to me.
I met Austyn on the very first day that I moved into
Village. I knew instantly that I wanted to be his friend. We were very close for
the fist little while and then we kind of drifted apart. Recently-ish we
started hanging out again. Austyn is like a brother to me. He means everything
to me. I have never felt like he was judging me, even when I was at his
apartment in October at 2 in the morning crying my eyes out he just sat there
and listened to me. He has always been there for me if I needed anything since
August. Austyn is an amazing guy and he deserves the best life. He will be
married when I get home from my mission for sure, and all I have to say about
that is that she is going to have to be one special lady to be deserving of
him. Austyn, I want you to know how much you mean to me and I would do anything
for you.
I just recently started hanging out with Brea. We have this
strange bond because we are both going on a mission, but I have grown so close
to her in such a short amount of time. I feel like I can share anything with
her. I know I have said that about all of these people and it is true, but Brea
is a special person. I have never heard her say anything negative about anyone.
She is seriously one of the nicest people I have ever met. We have the best
times when we are together and I know there will never be a time when we are
not friends. She lights up from within with the light of the gospel and she is
going to kill it as a missionary in Mongolia. I have no doubt that she will
change lives because she has already changed mine for the better. Brea, you are
an amazing person, and never ever let anyone tell you any different. Your
friendship means more to me than you will ever know. I love you!
Okay… so I saved Rachelle for last because this is going to
be the longest for sure. I love Rachelle more than I love most people. There
are very few people who have made as big of an impact on my life as Ro has. She
is crazy, outgoing, loud, and perfect. I don’t understand how anyone could ever
dislike her. I live with Ro and I can’t imagine what it would be like had we
not been roommates. I would be a completely different person. Sometimes I do
things, and I will notice or other people will notice that it is something
Rachelle would do. (I am crying at this point by the way.) I never thought that
I could become so close to someone in such a short amount of time. I have never
met anyone quite like Rachelle. She is a very interesting person and if anyone
ever hurt her or even thought about hurting her I would not be very happy… and
neither would they. Ro, you should know that I love you sooooo much and you
mean more to me than you think you do. You have had kind of a rough time this
year and I am so happy that you are happy. You deserve to be happy. You deserve
the very best. I would take a bullet for you any day. If you ever need a
kidney, just let me know. I don’t know why I am so upset because I am going to
see you again, but I just feel so sad. If I had a sister I couldn’t imagine
caring about her any more than I care about you.
So I know that this is the cheesiest blog post I have ever
written but in all honesty these past 9 months with these people have gone by
way to fast. I have made so many more lifetime friends but I know that I will
see them more often than I see these people. My life is in Utah now. They say
home is where the heart is, and if that is the case then Utah is my home. I
would rather be here than anywhere else. I am so incredibly blessed to know
these people and I know that they will be my friends forever.
THE END
