The End of an Era



Tonight I had the priviledge of going to dinner with 4 of my best friends. You see these are no ordinary friends. These are extraordinary women and I am so blessed to have them in my life. It all started 5 years ago when Heather and I moved into the dorms. Little did I know that I would find wonderful life long friends. Here is a little tribute to each of these amazing ladies. (I have also included a favorite memory, which was much to hard to narrow down, so I put one of the MANY!)

Beni: How I love her infectious laugh. She is always ready with a quick joke. She is amazingly talented and driven. I admire her strength and her ability to deal with situations that I never could and doing it with class and style. She has taught me about how to deal with the hand we are dealt with grace and beauty. She is also a fabulous shopper, and I have been blessed to learn a few things in that area too.
One favorite memory: The trip to Vegas and the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip cookies.

Heather: My best friend since 3rd grade, where do I start? We have been through some crazy/wonderful times. She has always been there for me, and I have always shared everything with her. I am proud of her for graduating. She is so smart and so passionate, and has instilled in me a desire to find things to really be passionate about. What a great example.
One favorite memory: Our "Utah Roadtrip" and all the craziness that ensued that weekend.

Jenna: While we both admit it took a little warming up, Jenna has truly become such a wonderful friend. She is warm and giving and always ready with advice and opinions. She is such a free spirit and has taught me lessons about letting go and simply being myself. She has big ideas and dreams in life, and has taught me to truly reach for the stars.
One favorite memory: The disneyland cartwheel, and the beautiful landing.


Megan: I love simply talking to this beautiful woman. She has always listened to everything I have to say, and has great advice to offer. She has been patient with me and has taught me how to be more giving and selfless. She has a zeal for life and a passion for health, and has helped me realize the potential I have.
One favorite memory: When she was mad at me for dragging her on California Screamin, then realized that she loved it.

I love you girls! LYFE!
