Due to my last post, I will now be posting about 4 friends of mine in each blog I write for the next few times. Or until I run out of friends. Whenever I get bored. :)
So, without further ado, let me introduce my good friends!
Nate Clegg
Oh Nate. Where to begin? It all started on a dark and stormy night....Just kidding! :) Nate and I met probably at Midway Elementary school, but I don't remember him from that age. I do, however, remember being in his social dance class, and him playing the trumpet very well. We knew each other from the dance class, but I think we were more of acquaintances rather than friends. We both work at Dairy Keen, and long story short, after a very short time, Nate and I "liked" each other. He was actually the very first boy I ever held hands with, and it was exciting for me. :) This picture of us was at Preference, a dance held in November at our school, but shortly thereafter, sometime during Thanksgiving break, we came to a mutual agreement that we both liked each other, but more as really great friends, not that mushy gushy like where cooties are involved. :) Although it was hard to kind of lose someone I kind of liked, I am so glad that we are just simply great friends today. Nate has a beautiful girlfriend that is so much better for him--and they're so dang cute together! Nate and I played in the orchestra pits together, we were in social dance together, we work together a lot, and we talk about a lot of things together. Nate is a boy that came into my life and changed me for good. He has strong character, has a great sense of humor, and knows exactly what I need to hear to help buoy me up or help me stand on higher ground. His opinions on almost everything mean a lot to me, and he is mature beyond his years...that is, when he's not hyper. :) I have loved being Nate's friend every day, and I'm so grateful for his knowledge, advice, genuine concern, and everything else he does for me. He leaves for Lubbock, Texas on November 7, 2012 to serve the Lord on a 2-year LDS mission, and I couldn't be happier for him! He has such a strong testimony and is so willing and excited to serve the Lord, I know great things will come his way. I hope I can make it to his farewell! :)
Austin Roylance
Austin is one guy who honestly knows how to make me laugh super hard, and he'll laugh with me. :) Austin also worked at Dairy Keen, but hasn't for about the past year. He was always fun to work with though--it made the night go by faster. Austin is an amazing pianist, and will be coming to BYU-Idaho this fall as well!! I'll get to see him more often, hopefully, than I did this past year at school, but you never know. I'm so glad that I got to know this spunky boy, because he not only is musically gifted, but he is very academically gifted, and he is also one of the sweetest guys with one of the sweetest testimonies you will ever meet. I am so glad I get to see Austin at school this next year, and I hope we continue to be friends throughout the next few years. I love listening to his music too, so hopefully I'll get to see him in concerts throughout the year as well! I really wish there was a lot more I could say about Austin, but I honestly don't know him as much as I would love to! Austin is a great guy though--I know I can say that without a doubt. He has great character, amazing musicianship, a strong testimony, and is a great golfer as well! I can't wait to see you around campus in a few weeks Austin!
Taylor Paul
Taylor! Taylor has been in my ward for forever, and we've gotten to be great friends! She has always been there for me, and she knows how to make me laugh or even feel appreciated. Being the oldest Young Woman in church isn't easy, and she's made it easier, that's for sure! We've been through girl's camps together, Youth Conferences, and so much more! I really have appreciated Taylor and all she's done for me! She even wrote a poem on the back whiteboard in the picture at girl's camp for me, saying how much the girls would miss me when I left for school. If that isn't sweet, I don't know what is. :) I love you so much Taylor! Thank you for all you've done for me! You're a great girl!
Anna Dahl
Anna and I go way back. And when I say that, I'm serious. I used to babysit her and her siblings like 7 years ago. We have been in the same ward since she moved to Heber, and I have loved being in Young Women's with her! We have been through so much together, and we still do! She is one girl that I absolutely love being around, and I can't get enough! :) She makes me laugh so hard, and she has so much potential! I have loved being her friend! Girl's Camps were unforgettable. Youth Conference with lizard tails, Sobe's and loud music, horribly disgusting toilets, setting up tents, wetting our pants, and much more. Trek with our spray bottles, "s'mores!", and sap in my hair. From walking home from church or school together, to laughing and crying in testimony meetings, Anna and I have done a lot of things together. I will miss her so much! Thank you for everything we've been through, all that you've done for me, and all that we have yet to do together!
