Compliments and Friends!

November 10, 2009

Man! I need to catch up with my Grateful lists! LOL I need to do Nov. 7,8,9, 2009 But let me to today's first then I'll do it! :D





1. Compliments! I curled my hair today similar to what I have done the past couple days! And I got one compliment on what I did today! It pretty much made my day! and helped the rest of my shift go by so much faster(I had like a half hour left of work). I have a challenge for whoever reads this post! Give compliments to people! You'll never know who's day you've made! It's the same thing with Smiling! :D





2. My Friend Stefanie Grawe! She is pretty much one of the most amazing friends I've ever had in my life! haha! So many memories with her! Good and bad! But mostly good and Great and Fantastic! :D This picture above is the most recent picture of us as Friends! I went to her Graduation at West Ridge academy! It was an amazing ceremony! I Loved it like crazy! It was amazing to be able to support her, I wrote her some letters while she stayed there, cause she was only able to come to Lehi and be home on the weekends(and that was a pretty high privilege! Stefanie came into my life at one of the most hardest times of my life! She came 2 weeks after and experience I had at age 9, and we became friends at that point in time. When I turned 12 though, the ward I was in split and I was going to be in the same ward as Stefanie and this other girl that was also my age, and Stef and I weren't exactly friends at the time, for some reason she didn't like me(well, I know why... but that doesn't mean I'll share it... LOL). And I can admit I was scared because I didn't have any friends in the new ward that became Sunset 2nd ward! I was pretty much a brand new Behive! And I new people from my childhood from when SS2 was the Sunset Ward and when I turned 8, I went back to the first ward I moved into(although i don't remember it! LOL ;) Lehi 3rd Ward. So anyways, Stefanie, Michelle and I didn't get along till we were Mia Maids(14-15 years old). So yeah! We've been pretty much almost inseparable since I Like to think! :D They had a lot of crushes on Boys all they way through, and I didn't start being really Boy Crazy till I was about 14 or 15! Any ways, Stefanie is amazing! She is my example, my Friend and my sister! :D I Love her like crazy! :D I really look up to her! She's definitely has gone through some hard times in her life so far! And most of the crap she's gone through is with Crazy Guys that don't want to respect her beautiful Body! She's the most amazing person you'll ever meet! She is shy, sweet, kind, generous, beautiful, humble, and a great friend! Just get to know her before you find out her life story, before you put any judgment on her! She doesn't deserve that kind of thing right now! She has learned from her lessons she's had! You go read her journey, and you come back and tell me about how amazing and strong she is! When you read her Blog you'll know why I think so highly of her! :D I Love her like a sister! She is so amazing! :D




3. My Best "Girl"friend Kimberlie Marsden! She is so amazing! We've been pretty much best friends since My senior year in High school! And now she is a Senior and is a gorgeous Girl! I Love her to Death! We've pretty much have been always been there for each other since the day we became friends! It just went so fast that I don't even remember the exact days of anything! Just memories of Fun, hardship, and Joy! You know what I mean? Kim is probably one of those friends I could talk about for hours because of the memories we've shared! We know each other's life Stories, each other's Crushes we've had since we've met!




Kim and Aaron playing a little too much with the paint! ;) hehehe! At morp we decorated our date's shirts and our date's painted ours! And with Aaron and Kim, they like to play and flirt! It's so funny! There were a couple times where they got into a complete mess! because either they, or somebody else would start a messy fight! LOL I love them! :D



This is Aaron Powell, just so you know who I am talking about when it comes to Aaron! I'll talk about him later! :D



This is a picture of me and Kim! We are doing the Sign "Friendship" in ASL but using one of our fingers to make two! hehehe! :D She is so amazing! She supports me in everything I do! I Love her so much! :D




Together we organized a group date a couple weeks after her 16th Birthday! It was really fun! We went up to Salt Lake to see the statue of the Christus and watched the Joseph Smith Movie! I went with Aaron, and she went with Garrett, and she set up our friend Jessica Fratcher with someone Kimberlie Swam with at Hast in American Fork.




More Morp fun! She went with Aaron, this is part of our couples pictures! :D This is Kimberlie and Aaron! :D





I edited this photo of Myself and my Morp date(May 2008) Ben Omer! It was really fun! I had a great time! :D




And this is our Group! :D hehehe! It was such a blast! That morning we "Kidnapped" our dates at 5:30 in the Morning! hehehe! And had Breakfast on my Friend KT's roof! Then we jumped on the Tramp! Then decorated our shirts! That evening we went to Kimberlie's house and made Lasagna for our dates! :D We took a couple couple pictures, Group pictures and of course funny pictures! :D hehehe! :D It was really fun! :D I Love Kim! We worked really well together planning our group dates! It was fun! KIM I LOVE YOU!!!!

1. My Friend Aaron Powell! The picture above is the best picture I've got on my computer of Aaron and I! I Love Aaron, because he's like another Brother to me! Like his Cousin Travis!(except the fact that I had such a huge crush on him since 4th Grade! Ah! And have gone on quite a few dates with Him too! ;) Any who! He's been an influence in my life! He's given me a lot of life lessons like you wouldn't believe! Trust me! He's yelled at me(ok not exactly yell, but close!) a couple times to wake me up to straighten up and get my self back together! He has a tendency to do that! And now I find myself doing that sometimes! Freaky! haha! Aaron, he's an amazing friend to me! I've enjoyed his friendship! Especially where he's taken me on a few dates that I don't want to remember. My First Date with him was my Junior year! That was pretty much my peak with my Crush on him. He invited me on a double date with his Best friend! And frankly it was during a time where I wasn't exactly sure if I had a testimony of the gospel or not! We went up to Temple Square to Look at the Christmas Lights! Going up to Temple Square to look at the Christmas lights has been my favorite date since that night! :D We went through the visitor's center and read the descriptions of each picture! Oh my gosh the spirit was so strong! I couldn't even deny the power, the peace! It was so amazing! We held hands during the whole date! It was so amazing to me(of course because I had a huge crush on him! and it was romantic, and he was mine and I was his for the Night! I found out after the date that he's held hands with a lot of girls, but hey! LOL He hasn't kissed a girl yet and isn't going to kiss one till he pretty much gets Engaged! That's tough cause I tried to follow that example! It didn't work too well, I got my first Kiss last November! :P) Any ways! haha! I was so giddy! I drove him crazy for the rest of that year! haha! Oh man! Then Senior year! I don't know what happend, but I still had the crush on Aaron, but I didn't care so much any more cause I knew his intentions for me were to be just friends and to tell you the truth I'm grateful for that! Cause he made me realize that It wouldn't have worked between us at all! :( LOL Any ways, about a year later I was to write a sonnet in my 12 grade English class and this is what I wrote: December Walk"As we walked through the cold beautiful night; We held hands throughout the twilight hours; Observing the Holiday lights so bright; Holiday lights apearing like flow'rs; Seeing and awing the depictions of the Child; Joseph circumscribing him with passion; Mary holding him through the night so mild; the Child died for his Love and compassion; Joseph Smith struggling on which church to join; One spring morning he saw God the Father; He helped Organized a world church Conjoined; In June he was killed with his brother Hyrum; One emotional and romantic night; One that can last or one that might."

Aaron helped build my testimony a little bit more unintentionally! Now, I don't think things would work out between us, because it would be awkward in someways. I can't explain it either but it also deals with some feelings I've felt about my future husband that I haven't really shared with anybody, but Kim, and a couple other people including Kevin.

2. Personal revelations: Wow! since I am on the subject I might as well, share that I am grateful for personal revelations! My Junior year, I was trying to figure out which College to go to, and I can honestly say that the school that I am going to... wasn't one that I wanted to go to! I wanted to go be out on my own out of High School and I didn't get that wish till, pretty much a year after I graduated from High School.. any ways.. I had Utah State University as an option, then Snow College( I thought that maybe that if I went down to Snow College and got my Associates, and then I would be able to transfer up to Utah State and major in Music therapy), anyways, then my last choice was UVU because my mom didn't want me to move too far from home! Not to mention it's cheaper to go to UVU(I guess... :P) Anyways, On the way to my Grandparents house during my Junior year one time, I looked at UVSC(that's what it was at the time UVU is a new school pretty much), and this voice came into my head telling me "Go to UVU, you'll meet your future husband there." And I was like ok... I'll go because you've told me to go. So I finish my junior year, and shortly after my graduation from High School, I had this feeling that I was going to be one of those that meets their future husband in College, and not being able to Marry "my High School Sweetheart" or someone I went to High School with... you know what I mean? So I felt pretty nervous about that(I don't know why, I just was), and I expressed my nervousness to Kimberlie and she helped me out a lot! I Love her like crazy! :D haha! Then I dated Levi Jessop... hmmm... not going to talk about that one much cause... it turned out pretty bad... and we only dated 3 1/2 weeks...




Me and Levi Jessop November 15, 2008 (amazing I remembered the Date) I mainly remember the date we got together(October 27,2008)... and the date I broke up with him which was 5 days after this picture was taken(November 20, 2008)... actually after a fun date of seeing Beauty and the Beast at our High School... Yeah... Not something I want to talk about right now... at least not yet! I just know that he wanted to marry me! And I pretty much dumped him because I wasn't ready to be married yet! Come on! I was 18 years old at the time! It didn't feel right! It wasn't till after I broke up with him that I found out who he really was... a player, and someone that is disrespectful and wanted to get married just to get out of the house! I would have been miserable, and I surely know I wouldn't be happy! Now, I'm happy with what I've got! I'm grateful for the support I've gotten from my family and friends! And I've learned from that lesson! I should have said NO! And I didn't, because I knew he wasn't the one from the beginning! :P But I did it for a learning experience, it was fun... but only while it lasted!


Tiff! Don't Kill me! I got it from Facebook! And I didn't have a current picture of you and me! at all! :P So this is what you get! One of these days we just got to take pictures together!

3. My Friend Tiffany Russon! She is pretty much my Shopping Buddy! Like every other time we either spend a lot of money on ourselves, or we just window shop! We talk about guys pretty much every time we hang out! LOL We have gone out for Lunch a few times! Our favorite place right now is going to Zupas! Ahh! Yummy! I haven't been there for like ever! :( But yeah! I've Known Tiffany since 7th Grade(even though she doesn't really remember), she was a cheerleader, and I wasn't so much a fan of her when I first met her! And I didn't talk to her much because I believed that Cheerleaders were stuck up and always flirted with the Football Jocks! :P And then, I didn't see her much during 8th Grade, I was involved with my own problems and just kept everybody out of my life really, I hardly had any friends during that time! Ok! You got it! It was in general a tough time for me! I hated 8th Grade and also 9th Grade, but I'd rather go through 9th grade than 8th! 8th grade was(excuse my Language) literally Hell! Anyways, Tiffany became friends, my Sophomore year, although it kinda started in 9th grade(again! She doesn't remember), she was in my Science class, then I had to transfer out because of some serious Boy troubles! :P During the time we were in Science class together, I realized that she was on the swim team! And I totally wanted to join so bad that year, but I simply had no room in my schedule! :( So I convinced my parents to have me join the Swim team! I told them that it would be worth the $80! And I turned out to be right! I was in it all three years in High School and enjoyed it! And Made a lot of friends and connections! I miss Swim Team like crazy! I know I say it all the time! My mom has always said since my Junior year that I should become a Swim Coach on the side! I'm seriously thinking about it! :D Any ways! Tiffany is such a sweet, Cute, and Kind person! I Love her to bits! haha! We've had plenty of weird memories! LOL
