Magic Everywhere You Look.

My life equals greatness.
This weekend has proven to me that magic really does exist.
In every form.

Thursday night was my cousin's Wedding Dinner.

And let me clarify something right here.
My extended family is close.
We're talking really close.
My cousins are like my second sisters.
My brothers.
My aunts are like my other mothers.
We are weirdly close.
And I love it.

So when I say my cousin is getting married,
It feels like my sister is being wedded.
So it's a big deal.
A really big deal.

The Wedding Dinner was beautiful.
It was down Vintage Lane in the backyard of a mansion.
The yard was covered in flowers of pink and purple.
The smell of steak and strawberry lemonade was in the air.
In the back was a roaring river with swings soaring high.
It was a perfect July day.
The sun was shining warm and bright.



After the food was served the microphone was given to the bride and groom to share a few thoughts.
The story was shared of how they met.
And it brought tears to my eyes.

It all started junior year.
She ran track and was a cheerleader.
His life was dedicated to football.
They had seen each other around but never thought anything of it.
Then, this boy had a life changing idea.
He asked her to junior prom.
And from the way it sounded,
It was one of the best nights of there lives.
Well a couple of Sundays afterward,
this girl was sitting in Young Women were she was listening to a lesson on temple marriage.
She said she had this overwhelming feeling that she was meant to marry this boy.
She knew without out a doubt in her mind it was going to work.
She suddenly escaped into a vision of swinging their child together
and felt such peace.
So the summer began.
And by the end of the summer romance,
they had lost their virgin lips together.
Senior year was perfect.
She was cheer captain.
He was the quarterback.
They went to every dance.
Every weekend.
Too soon,
they graduated and he got his mission call.
She had a full ride to BYU for track.
He had a full ride to the same university for football.
He left the following December.
She sent him off and wrote him faithfully at first.
But life got in the way and she wanted to date.
Make sure he's the one.
So she searched.
They stopped writing.
A letter here and there.
Two years later,
she know he was the one.
Two days after he was home,
she called him and asked him out.
They kissed.
And it was fate from there.
He proposed in May.

Cutest story ever.
It kills me.
The wedding dinner was amazing.

Later that evening...

My life officially ended.
As in,
I have nothing to look forward to.
Harry Potter.
And I discovered a new pet peeve.
Why in the world would people go to the midnight showing if they aren't true fans?
Because it's the cool thing to do?
Oh, I was bugged.
And if you haven't ever read one book?
Really?
I think there should be a Harry Potter test before you can purchase midnight showing tickets.
You must pass with a 80% or higher.
Thank you.
Because us people,
who have read the entire series three times through,
and can pratically quote every line in ever movie,
do not appreciate your lack of love for our dear Harry and your infatuation with following the crowd.
Thank you, again.
I sobbed.
Through out the whole end.
And the car ride home was a whole other thing.
This marks the end of my childhood.
I saw the first movie while I was in second grade.
The Sorcerer's Stone was my very first chapter book.
The whole gang has always been apart of my life.
And an exciting part at that.

When I turned eleven I spent my entire birthday waiting for my 
Hogwarts acceptance letter.
That night, when it never came,
I cried myself to sleep.

Worst. Birthday. Ever.

I'm obsessed.
When it's dark I call out
LUMOS!
But the lights never turn on.

When I want something to come to me, I scream
ACCIO CHOCOLATE!
But the chocolate never comes.

I want to be a witch so bad.
What ever.
I can just live with being a muggle.... I guess.






That's right. We're dorks.
Me and my cousins.

The promptly in the morning,
we headed off to the temple.





And they were married.
Eternally bound.
Forever.

I have never seen a couple more in love.
Watch this video.
You will surely see what I am talking about.

The Video of Love.

Doesn't that say it all.
She looked like a princess.
With her prince.

It is a true fairytale.

See?

Magic does exist.

All you got to do is go looking for it.

I'm Growing Up Too Fast.

Wow.
I survived my junior year.
I'm alive.
And well.
WHAT IN THE WORLD???
How did this year go by so fast?
How is junior year already over?
I'm a senior?
My heart just dropped.
My belly flopped.
I'm still a sophomore.
I'm still a baby.
A little girl.
I'm five years old at heart.
How am I already a senior?

I'm freaking out here.
FREAKING OUT.

Tonight was graduation.
I watched every single one of my beloved seniors 
take that long walk and receive the diploma they had been waiting twelve years to get.
I cried.
A lot.
Going to school and not seeing
Matt,
Steve,
Emily,
Nate,
Cam,
Maddie,
or any of them...
It is going to kill me.
I am going to be the oldest.
The biggest.
Like I said before...
I'M A 5 YEAR OLD.
I can't handle this whole senior thing.

As I sat at graduation, I made myself a promise.
I will NOT waste a single moment of this next year.
I will live the best senior year any one has ever experienced.
Senioritis shall not overcome me.
I will be the best SBO ever.
I will love everyone.
I will go to EVERYTHING.
I will truly live this next year.
I will make every day worth while.
I will love unconditionally.

I almost can't wait.
It is going to be the best year of my life.

But for now,
it is summer.
And I shall love this warmth.
Embrace the whole no homework gig.
I will have the summer of a life time.

Then the best senior year ever.

And then I move out.

GAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

I still have a year of childhood left.
I will love every second of it.
Mark my words.

Time To Move On And Invite The Summer.

Tonight is the night I have been waiting for.
Tonight I will see one of my musical icons in person.
And he shall sing for me.
I will sing back.
And we will have a moment.

A boy will be next to me.
One that makes me happier than anyone else.
I hope we dance.
I know I will.
This is his first concert.
I hope it will be special for him.
Because I know it will be for me.

The concert is being at the UCCU center.
I found this out on Friday.
And I almost canceled this little party.
I went up to my room.
I hyperventilated a bit.
After a nap and some craisins,
I pulled myself together.
The last time I entered that center, I went to a concert.
An amazing one in fact.
BOB, Iyaz, and Jason Derulo.
All in one.
I do not enjoy music like that,
but Elder did.
And he wanted me to go with him.
So I went.
And well,
you know how that went.
That was our first date.
Our first connection.
And serendipitously, tonight I shall be sitting one row lower in the same section.
Yes.
Almost to exact same seats.
Elder has been on my mind A LOT lately.
And it's been hard.
Really hard.
Utah County has decided to turn into Seattle.
Rain. Rain. Rain.
Memories. Memories. Memories.
Not to mention,
I am falling for another boy.
Quite fast, and quite hard.
Despite my little cracks and broken heart,
I have let myself trust.
Have faith.
But I can't help but have Elder constantly there in the back of my head.
I know its over.
But all those emotions and feeling I have been trying to repress are opening up again.
But for someone else.
It is terrifying.
I can't get Elder out.
I know he has forgotten about me.
Why can't I forget about him?
And just move on?
Ugh.
I hate love.
I love love.
Summer will help.
No more school, no more stress.
I will just be free.
Completely free.

Summer is the time when girls go barefoot, 
and their hearts are just as free as their toes.

I am not going to hold back.
I know I will have regrets if I do.
I won't let thoughts of Elder drag me down.
I am going have faith.

I love the Notebook.
It makes me smile.
It makes me cry.
Here is a quote I have altered. 
I believe it fits my life.
Enjoy.

My Dearest Elder. 
I couldn't sleep last night because I know that it's over between us. I'm not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. And if in some distant place in the future we see each other in our new lives, I'll smile at you with joy and remember how we spent the summer beneath the trees, learning from each other and growing in love. The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds, and that's what you've given me. That's what I hope to give to you forever. 
I love you. I'll be seeing you. Love, Linsey.

Hello, This Was My Week.

Once upon a time Linsey never wrote on her blog.
The end.

Lets start with Wednesday:

I went to a choir concert.
And might I just say,
My school is oh so talented.
I sat by my romeo.
Our secret love....
It's fantastic.
After I arrived home I had the privledge of watching the American Idol Finale.
SCOOOTTTTTTYYYYYY!!!
My boy.
My love.
I called it from the very beginning.
He will be a legend.

Thursday:

Two words.
Bad. Day.
Do you ever have those days when nothing goes your way,
when teachers don't work with you,
when friends act silly,
when fate hates you,
when a certain boy ignores your existance,
when you have 170000000 things to do and so little time,
and you really just want a chocolate bar?

Yep.
That was my life.

That night we had our Dance Co banquet.
I wanted to cry.
It was so hard being with my entire Company for the last time.
But I was comforted.
We have so many great memories together.
We are sisters.
As cliche as it sounds,
We can't cry because it's over,
we should smile because it happened.
I will never forget Dance Company 2010 - 2011.
A true sisterhood.

Friday:

One of the best days I have had in the longest time.
At lunch,
A tailgate party was held on the band field.
Hot dogs were eaten,
and memories were made.
A complete success.
Then came the state championship baseball game.
I had the privilege to sit by my dear Crush through out the entire game.
BONDDINNNG definitely occurred.
Man.... I will write a little bit more about that later.
We lost.
But second in state is not that bad right?
It's actually quite amazing.
Then came Powder Puff.
Stupid seniors.
I hate you.
All of you.
And your cheating ways.
GRRRRR.
I got a real cool jersey that some lovelies made for me.
It sported the number 26 along with the name of "Puffs" on the back.
May I just say I love that shirt?
A lot.
Then came Cavestock.
Talk about your craziness.
At first everything went quite well.
Doing my free period I got work with the cotton candy.
A literal dream come true.
I am easily entertained.
Sue me.
Then the rain came.
Usually I'm a fan of water falling from the sky but not when we are holding an outside dance with expensive electronics that must be out of H20's way.
So,
the chaos began.
The rain meant we had to bring everything in.
Every chair.
Every table.
Every piece of equipment.
By the end I was a soaking wet mess that really needed a power nap.
Might I just say,
when things need to get done,
I turn into a different person.
My priorities are shifted and I run around like a mad women trying to get things done.
And things we a lot easier because my dear Crush was by my side for the most of the night.
He helped me with everything.
I really appreciated it.
He made me smile.
A lot.
Then Momo and I decided to take a break and wrestle in the grass.
One of the best ideas I have ever had.
She is a little monster.
I like a challenge.


Yep.
We are that cool.
Notice the jersey. Number 26.
Booyahhh.

After about an hour of endless clean up the dance began.
And I partied.
It was very hot.
I became very sweaty.
But did that stop me from dancing with my Crush?
NO SIRR.
American Fork High School is just so school.
At one point in the evening my red headed little sister, a little sophy I admire with all my heart,
and I decided to stand on the benches and dance.
Pretty soon,
our whole little group was on those old piles of wood partying like
 there was no tomorrow.
Towards the end of the night,
They played a song of unity and the whole school linked arms and stood in a big circle.
We all shifted back and forth.
Looking at each other's faces.
Looking at the seniors who are off to bigger and better things.
Wanting to cry.
But smiling thinking of all the memories.
We all shouted ah-chil-le-le.
For the last time.
It was a great end.
Not to mention,
I danced with my Crush.
Twice.
That's right.
And all I have to say is I believe I have fallen quite hard for the kid.
Never in my life had I thought it would have developed into this.
He is amazing.
I have never met a more amazing boy.
He makes me swoon.
And giggle.
And... man.
Not to mention he improved immensely as a dancer.
Mainly, we worked on dips and spins.
Magical.
We had a moment.
I am the luckiest girl to ever walk this planet.
But at the same time,
I am terrified.
I don't know how to conduct myself.
I don't know what to do.
Hello seventh grade.
That is what I feel like.
Let the pieces fall where they may, I like to say.
Cavestock.
Success.
Pure happiness.
I love my life.
Very much.

There Goes That Dream.

What the point?
What is the point of marriage?

All I know and have ever seen is relationship after relationship
fall apart.

Only ending in heartbreak.
And remorse.

What is the point of going through that?
Why would we want to be miserable?

I know the most incredible ladies who deserve an entire kingdom,
and to be treated like a royal princess,
and live happily ever after.

I am not stupid.
I don't live in La-La land.
Life is full of trials.
Trying times that will push you to your limits.
But for once in my life,
I would love to see these hardships pull a marriage together
instead of push the love apart.

I'm just sick of it.

I'm never getting married.

I will with my seven kitties and two parakeets.

My testimony of my Savior's love will be enough for me in this life.
Isn't that why we are here?
To become like Him?
And that is my goal.
So why do I need to fall in love?
Because I know it won't last.
It never does.
Once the honeymoon stage passes, I fear everything will fall apart.
So as of this moment I am never getting married.

Maybe I'll move to Ethiopia.
I will work in the orphanages as a nanny and serve the people there.

Maybe I will become a lonely psychologist,
who spends all of her time developing an actual cure for Schizophrenia.
I'll be so busy, having a husband would be silly.

Yes.
I like these plans.

Along with my kitties.

I give up as a hopeless romantic.

That is a far off dream that will never be reached.

Well,
thanks for listening to my ramble.

An Eventful Weekend.

Within the last 48 hours
I have never learned so much about myself.
Honestly.
My limits.
My strengths.
My weaknesses.
The things that make me truly happy.
Experiences that makes me weep.
True love being reunited.
Friendships on the fritz.
Late nights and deep secrets.

Man.
My life.
Someone help me.

It all started Thursday night.
My best friend slash newly made cheerleader
slept over at my house.
As we laid in my bed,
we talked 
and talked
and talked.
Until 2 am.
Don't forget I had to be at the school by 6:45 for SBO training.
We discussed our senior year and the changes that are coming.
I asked her how she felt.
Her answer stated
that she felt like I was giving up on her.
On our friendship.
That I am not going to fight for things to stay the same.
That shocked me.
I know it is something worth fighting for,
but when life gets started and things get crazy,
I just thought growing apart was inevitable.
Maybe I am crazy.
She says I am.
It doesn't have to be that way.
And I agree.
My mind took on a new look on this whole deal.
It will all be okay.
No matter what.

That night was our last concert.
The last time American Fork Dance Company 2010-2011
would ever dance together.
The last time with my seniors.
The last time with my best friends.
It was a very emotional night.
It started with a devotional
and the most beautiful speech by our one and only manager,
Benjamin Wright.
He his words made us weep.
So powerful.
He then sang us a song about family and love.
And how a team is one.
I lost it.
I bawled, 
Hysterically.
My make up was horribly ruined.
Which is fine.
I didn't really care.
I just wanted to give the show of our lives.
And we did.
Let me tell you.
That concert was amazing.
Perfect.
Every dance had passion.
We danced not as individuals,
but as a team.
We did it for each other.
The crowd was amazing.
The feeling of getting on that stage and performing a piece that you have put
blood, sweat, and tears into,
dancing with your best friends,
and expressing yourself in an artistic out-of-body way,
it is beyond words.
It is a whole new world of expressing emotions.
Ideas.
Inner most thoughts.
It is incredible.

Afterward, the entire company went to Pizza Factory.
What a treat.
I have never belly-gut laugh more in my life.
Our manager might be the funniest person alive.
I devoured food and loved every second of it.
At one point in the evening,
I received a phone call.
I excused myself from the table and ran outside.
Answering the phone, I was shocked to hear the voice that spoke my name.
My best friend.
The one person that has made the biggest influence on my life.
I cannot believe I have not mentioned him on this blog before because
he is the reason I am who I am today.
I had not talked to him in 5 months.
He had disappeared from my life entirely.
We got to the point where we knew each other too well,
we would try to tick each other off,
and just fought.
All. The. Time.
But here he was.
On the phone, ready to talk.
I about died.
Tears began to flow from my eyes.
I had missed him so much.
I smile cheek to cheek as a waterfall came crashing over it.
We talked for a bit.
He cracked some old time jokes,
and I laughed.
It was just comforting to hear his voice and that he was doing well.
I returned back to the table with my food ready to eat.
I indulged myself.

Afterward a few of the ladies had a night of
slumber and hot tubbing.
Secrets were shared
and stories of first kisses were told.

Saturday morning was spent at Kneaders
with my SBO soul sister.
We discussed boys and love.
Let me tell you.
She is one insightful little lassie.
I have been contemplating between two amazing men.
I had no idea.
So she gave me a bit of advice.
Flip a coin.
My response is the same as yours right now.
Why would you base your future on probability?
But there is a catch.
As soon as you flip the coin,
a name will pop into your head.
The name of who you hope it will land on.
And that is the boy you really want to be with.
So I did it.
And it worked.
I will let you know how that plays out.
After leaving, we had a very dramatic experience.
She was in tears.
I was her comforter.
My problem is,
I take on other peoples emotions as my own.
When I reached my home,
my body was shaken and my thoughts were unclear.

The rest of the night was spent cleaning,
and baking,
and singing.
I love nights at home.
They are just very comforting.

Today,
I went and saw my old best friend.
We cried.
I feel uneasy.
I don't know how to respond to what is happening.
My life is a whirlwind.
It is only going to get crazier.
Help.
My emotions are all tussled.
I don't know how I feel about anything at the current moment.
It will all work out though.
Won't it?

A Kind Of Girl.




It will all work out.
I know it will.
I am very much in love with my life.
And I cannot wait for it to get started.

Change Is Coming My Way.

Decisions.
Change.
Man, my life is changing right before my eyes.
Stupid college.
It ruins everything.
My friends and I are starting to my challenged with the reality of what college expects.
We all need scholarships.
We all want to have an amazing senior year.
But in order to receive scholarships, we must shape and form our senior year to help us require the certain skills to help us be eligible for the scholarships.
And that bites.
Different paths.
Different friends.

Lets put it this way.
I have the best friends in the world.
There are seven of us.
We are all on Dance Company,
Minus one, who is still with us every where we go,
and spend every second possible with one another.
They are the best girls I know.
We know everything about eachother.
Maybe a little too much.
But that's what makes us best friends right?







 That's us.
Right there.
The seven of us.
We have been through so so so much together.
 We are so dynamic as group.
All have a love of dancing that bonds us, but at the same time
we are all so different.

There is the Polynesian.
When people first see her, they are intimidated by her 5'11" Samoan self.
But once you get to know her, she is the kindest, softest person I know.

There are the two Asians.
One being so bluntly honest about everything at all time,
we have learned to just laugh at her insulting comments.
It's just who she is.
And we love her for it.
The other being the down to earth one.
She is strong and sweet.
A perfect balance.

The blond haired, blue eyed babe.
Who makes boys go weak in the knees.
Honestly, one of the prettiest girls at our school.
Her personality makes you fall out of your seat laughing.
Not to mention, she is a famous dancer.
It's fine.

The red head.
My best friend from the beginning.
I have never met a girl with a stronger personality.
She likes things her way, and will fight til she gets it.
She is motivated.
She is amazing.

The exotic bendy blond one.
My ultimate best friend.
The best dancer I know.
I have never met a softer heart.
She views life from an eternal perspective and
helps me everyday of my life.
One of the best people I have ever met in my life.

We have been through the thick and the thin.
And its about to come to a close.

Three of them,
Have all decided to try out for our schools cheer squad.
In order for them to get scholarships for their dream colleges.
And our team?
They are amazing.
Unreal.
We're talking best in the state.
Second in the country.
Ya, they are kind of a big deal.
But that doesn't go without practice.
Cheer is their life.
They live, breathe, and even eat cheer.
So what does that mean for Linsey?
My best friends are going to become too busy to even notice my existence.
They are who I sat with at our high school events.
The ones that watched every football and basketball game with.
The silly Friday nights.
That is going to be all over.
My heart is cracking to just thinking about.
Luckily, two of the lassies are going to try and juggle Dance Co and Cheer.
We will see how that works out.
But things will never be the same.
Ever.

Two are already set on Dance Co.
That is their first priority.
But between jobs and studio dancing,
I will rarely ever see them.

One isn't even on Dance Co.
We have remained best friends by the unity of all of us.
I'm terrified with our all of our separation,
I won't ever see her anymore.

And then there is me.
My first priority,
Student Body Officer.
That is where my loyalty will lie.
I will always put it first.
With that alone,
I will hardly ever see my little possy.

We are being separated.
I have never done well with change.
My anxiety issues start to come into play.

But you know what?
The more I ponder and think about what is to come,
The more I know I am going to be alright.
When all this news was officially out in the air,
I began to panic that I was going to be alone.
No friends.
A complete loser.
Then, I realized,
Linsey, think of what is in store for you.
You have a whole council who will become your family.
New friends that will always be there for you.
The push to go to every school event,
not alone, but with a best friend.
You are never going to be alone.
Heavenly Father has blessed you.
Take this blessing, and use it to your full potential.
And I am at peace.
I know everything happens for a reason.
I am strong believer in that.
So its all going to work out in the end.

I am so excited for senior year.
Change is coming my way.
I will face it head on.
And I will welcome it with open arms.
I am ready for this.
Are you?

I Love My Life. The End.

I have dissappeared.
Does this ever happen?
No.
Honestly?
I haven't had one moment to sit down and
report the events of my life.
How eventful have they been?
EXTREMELY.
Let me please explain.
I have been having the time of my life.
More stressed than I thought I could ever physically handle.
A total of 20 hours of sleep in the past 5 days?
YEP!
Walking zombie right here.
I have never blushed harder than Saturday night.
I smile cheek to cheek just thinking about it.
AHHH.

A Few Highlights:

Soccer games.
Of Course.
That isn't even a question.
Last Friday as well as this one.
I have sat through the heat, snow, and hail
in order to support my Crush.
Oh, the things I do for him.
If he only knew.

My Crush actually came over to my house on Saturday!
I think it was a dream.
I am not quite sure.
Because I had a blast.
And I wasn't even awkward.
That alone is a miracle.
The night was filled with
Just Dance 2,
Hypnotizing,
and Humiliation.
But I won't go into that.
Lets just say,
I had an amazing night.
And my crush on this young man is as strong as ever.

The main reason for my disappearance would be my
attempts to run and campaign for 
STUDENT BODY OFFICER.
Yes.
This past week:
I did not go to bed before 2 am every night.
I had to edit the most ridiculous video.
Watch it please

Yep, this my creation.
It sucks.
Please don't judge me.
I had to pass out endless amounts of Smarties 
and talk to the most random people.
It was fantastic.
This last week was full of
tears, screams, laughter, and deep talks.

Monday I had my interview.
Lets say,
I think I did quite well.
We were asked to dance in different genres.
I brought Wonderboy up and made him dance with me
instead of getting into my interpretive dance moves.
I answered from the heart.
I felt awesome afterward.

Tuesday through Thursday,
I harassed people.
I give them candy,
They vote for me.
Simple process.
Actually it was one of the most stressful parts,
but hey,
I had fun doing it.

Finally, Friday came.
The new officers were picked,
and the poor canidates had to wait until
10:45 to find out at the elections dance.
I threw up in the morning.
Too much anxiety for my taste.
The day was filled with tears and stress.
I just wanted to know.
I can handle rejection.
My senior year would be awesome either way.
I just wanted to know.

The current SBO's had a barbeque for us.
And let me tell you,
It was more of a testimony meeting than anything.
It was outstanding.
Yes, I cried.
Shocker right?
Then,
We headed off to the dance.
Can I just say that I love dances?
I kind of go crazy.
But that is what's fun right?
After spending the next hour of my life partying it up,
the canidates were called to the Cafiteria.
They thanked us for running.
They gave us letters.
Mine, specifically, was from Wonderboy.
That just made my night.
The canidates then proceeded to hike to the top of the bleachers 
opposite of our posters.
This is how it goes.
From the top of the bleachers to the bottom
laid ten giant posters.
On each one there was the name of a current SBO.
At the very top of each poster,
was another poster of equal length,
for the new SBO council rolled up very tightly.
And one by one, you watch the posters drop.
And pray your name is on one of them.
So the dropping began.

First poster: No Luck.

Second poster: Try again.

Third poster: Oh, she will be awesome.

Fourth poster: Nope, well so long, it was fun while it lasted.

Fifth poster (rolled down by the one and only Wonderboy): 
LINSEY BROWN

Somebody please pinch me now.
Please.
I am in a dream.
This cannot be real.
I am a Student Body Officer.
If you would of asked me a year ago,
no, try three months ago,
if I would ever be an SBO?
I would say that you were crazy and I had no chance.
But Heavenly Father has a plan for every single one of his children.
And this is the answer to my prayers.
Every. Single. One. Of. Them.
It's amazing.
My testimony has never been so strong.
I am so blessed.

The night proceeded by wearing Wonderboy's sweater.
Yes, he rolled down my poster so I got to wear his holy sweater.
I screamed.
I cried.
I recieved many hugs and congratulations.
My Crush even came and gave me a hug.
Baby steps. 
WOOT WOOT!

I have never been so happy.
My testimony is stronger than ever.
I now am a 
Student Body Officer
for 2011-2012.
I will render service to my fellow man.
I can change this school.
But more importantly,
I can impact lives.
Little by little.
I cannot wait.
Life is perfect right now.
I could not ask for anything more.
I love my New Council.
Every single one of them are incredible.
BETTER WATCH OUT!
The class of 2012 is coming your way.
And we will never stop.
This is going to be the greatest Senior year EVER!

A Tribute To My Boys.

I love missionaries.
Oh so very much.
I miss all my dear friends.
I want to cry thinking about my life with out them.
For two years.
Here is a tribute to a few of my favorites:

 Elder Cooper. 
One of my very best friends my sophomore year. 
Actually one of my lovers.
A total babe.
This was our last date together.
It makes me want to cry just looking at it.
He is currently serving in Japan.
He has been gone 8 months.


Elder Blackhurst.
One of my brother's best friend.
Ever since I was little, I thought we was the neatest kid.
I love him dearly.
Goooood times in Seminary last year.
Plus his dad is my dentist.
Family ties baby.
He is serving in Brazil and has been gone 8 months.


Elder Walker.
I love this boy with all my heart.
When Elder and my brother left me,
Elder Walker was the one to hold me up and 
keep that missionary spirit with me.
He is amazing.
This dashing young lad is serving in Sacramento, California.
He has been gone 2 1/2 months.


Classic Kyle.
This is Elder Shennum.
I am so so proud of him and all he has become.
I love this boy dearly.
We became quite close last year.
He is amazing.
Elder Shennum is serving in North Carolina.
He has been gone for 3 1/2 months.


This is Elder Reynolds.
I am surprised I haven't said anything about him on this blog.
He is a HUGE part of my life.
And the reason I am the person I am today.
Mainly, because he was my boy friend of 9 months.
He knows me probably better than I know myself.
I can honestly say I love this boy.
He is my alllll time best friend.
As you can see, Elder Reynolds is serving in the Dallas, Texas mission.
He has been gone almost 4 months.
I miss him. So so so much.


 My dear Elder.
Just cross out the girl next to him. That's his ex-girlfriend.
I could go on and on about this one right here.
He is the one I am waiting for.
He is my everything.
I have never met anyone quite like him.
He brings out the best in me.
I fell in love with him.
Man, this is making memories come rushing back.
I noticed I haven't written anything about my Elder in the longest time.
I have almost become numb.
It's almost like I have shut off that switch,
because it is way to painful to think about.
I still feel like my second half is missing.
Elder Hill is serving in Guatemala City, Gautemala.
I cannot believe he has been gone almost 5 months.
The longest and shortest 5 months of my life.
I miss you Elder Hill.


 The grand finale.
My big brother.
Biggest. Stud. Ever.
I love him.
I miss him.
He is my bestest friend.
A football star.
One of the purest hearts I have ever encountered.
Elder Brown is currently serving in Anaheim, California.
Wow.
6 months exactly today.
Time has flown by.
1/4 of the way done.
WOOT WOOT!

Missionaries are incredible.
The impact that they have had on my life is huge.
Every single one of them have influenced me.
I love them.
I pray for them.
I hope they have all the success in the world.
They are amazing boys.
I am sooo proud of them.
