The moon and back.

Gratitude list: Part Dos. Because the people I'm surrounded by are the best of the best--and my biggest blessings. 

6. She's the sweetest, most thoughtful, and least judgmental person I know--and the only person I can fight with without really ever fighting. We share a closet better than anybody else I know, and there's nobody else I'd rather share the Sweetheart Suite with. Abby is the only person who can tell me how big of an idiot I'm being [about boys, random tantrums, etc] without me freaking out, and even though we want to break the curse we share, I'm glad it's with her. ;) She's my person. [pick me. choose me. love me.] 

7. [yes, I know Brian's in here. Hi, Brian. That's what happens when you have two "boyfriends."They don't like sharing the camera.] But this one's for jaseface22. All summer long I heard all these stories about some Elder Dahlin that was coming home and how cool he was and how much fun we would have...and then he came to Logan and didn't say two words to me the whole weekend he was here until I told him to hurry back to Logan and love me--and he did! I love that he understands my humor, and reciprocates my endless teasing. I love that I can be myself around him--and I'm grateful that he doesn't judge me for being the weirdo that I am. He entertains my crazy ideas [like smashing a cake in Brian's face], and puts up with me yelling "BOYFRIEND" throughout the house whenever I need something. I'm grateful for quickly formed friendships, and even more grateful for friendships I know will last a long time; even if sometimes he wants to literally punch me in the face, and not just figuratively. 

8. Someday I want to be as cool as Emily Orr--but someday I want to watch a reality show based on her even more. I'm grateful for her confidence, her sense of humor, and the way she always speaks her mind. There isn't a single other person who I'd rather have acting as Squad #2--and a little bit of me will always live vicariously through her and her daily escapades. [AND I'M STILL SO HAPPY SHE'S FINALLY PART OF OUR CLUB]

9. She's my partner-in-crime, my secret keeper, my shopping buddy, and the angel on my shoulder. Ash truly is the big sister I never had, and I'm so grateful for her example, listening ear, and the unconditional love and support she offers. If I can be half the sister, friend, wife, and person that she is someday, I'll be one happy girl. 

10. She's my only friend. Mostly because sometimes, all a girl needs is someone to make her feel like the most important person in the room when everything is falling apart around her--and five seconds with Lynette does just that. She's the most selfless person I know, and manages to make my day a thousand times better whenever I see her.
