my best friends.

I can honestly say that i don’t have a best friend... i have many! That is why choosing one would be impossible. Therefore, i’m not choosing. But i can think of a few who have very special places in my heart.

Drumroll please..

First i’ll start with Miss Alyssa Kay. 

We may have our disagreements because let’s face it, we are pretty different people. But i always love you no matter what! I love that you’ve always been there for me to talk to about the things that i didn’t feel like telling other people. I love our dinner dates and the fact that you love me even though i eat more than anyone on this planet. Even though you would get so annoyed with me during basketball because my arms are longer than your entire body and i liked to use that to my advantage, i’d still choose you over Shaq any day! I love all of our adventures and miss you while i’m here in Idaho but someday you will come visit me and it will be grand! Love ya babe!!

Next will be Rebekah. 

When i met you i never knew we would become such best friends. You were so quiet. But little did i know that we would have some of the greatest times of our lives together! I can’t even begin to write down all of the crazy things i’ve done in my life, but having the memories of us doing them together just makes them that much better!

I mean really, who eats half a lemon covered in chocolate syrup?! And who eats burning marshmallows off of a burning metal torch?! And who climbs into the rafters of the church or eats packets off chili peppers just because a boy dared you?! Oh yeah, that’s right, WE DO! I am so grateful that you moved to that crazy little town of Hughson those few years ago. I love you and don’t know what my life would have been like without you! And i’m grateful i don’t have to find out. Now i just have to convince you to move to Rexburg with me. Hahaha.

 Now on to some of the most important people in the world: my family.

My mom and dad are my best friends in the entire world! I tell them everything and am SO grateful for all the support they give me. I really couldn’t do it without you. You have raised me so well and prepared me for whatever is to come. And we have so much fun!

I know people tease me a lot about being “just like your dad” and i may act like i don’t believe them but in all honestly, i couldn’t think of anyone i’d rather be told i am like! You are my hero.

I love spending time with you guys and miss all the good times we have! Wether it’s just watching T.V. or going out, or me climbing in your bed at night, or dad sneaking around and scaring the crap outta me, i wouldn’t trade it for anything! I can’t wait to someday bring a boy home for your approval and think of all the fun times we’ll have. I could seriously go on about why you guys are my best friends for DAYS!, but i won’t because that’s not fair to everyone else.

Next is my grandpa. 

Poppy you are my favorite person ever! I look up to you so much. You truly are one of the greatest men alive and i am so blessed to call you my Pop. You are my hero. Someday i hope to marry a man like you, who cares for our family and the gospel as deeply as i know you do. I am so thankful for the time that we got to spend together on the truck and on all our little trips and adventures. I wouldn’t want to have spent my time any other way. And i will never forget out trips to Husky Burger and how much i look forward to going anywhere with you. You and grama are the greatest grandparents a girl could ask for, seriously. I'm proud to call you mine. I love you so much!!

And last, but DEFINITELY NOT LEAST, my very best friend ever: Kyle Wayne Whitfield.

Kyle, you’re awesome! I miss you so much! I’m so grateful you put up with my craziness. I love it when you camp out on my bedroom floor and watch movies with me all night. Or when you sneak in after mom tells you to go to bed like a thousand times. Or when we go to get slurpees everyday of summer just because we can. And when i check you out of school because i’m lonely and want lunch. Pretty much, i miss all of the adventure we have together. Mostly i miss seeing you everyday and having you wait up for me when i come home late. And i miss you going with me anywhere i needed to go. Those times when i just needed to drive around no where and clear my head, you’re always right there in the passenger seat next to me, no questions asked. You always put up with the dumb boy. And you don’t laugh at me when i wanna turn the music up way to loud and dance like a maniac; you just dance along with me.  I admire you so much, Kyle. You have a great spirit and you are such a kind person. Although sometimes i forget you’re a 12 year old boy and get annoyed with you, always remember i will always love you more than i can even start to express. You are my best friend.
