Best Friend

I have a few best friends I'd like to recognize. Some things they all have in common is they have all been there for me at hard times, they make me laugh, I can talk to them about anything, they are all super cute!!!!! There are 5: Marissa, Brynn, Ashley, Becca, and Rachel.

Let's start with Ashley Oross. Our friendship began about 2 years ago when we were in the same health class freshman year. We found out that each other were mormon and we instantly became friends. We were hanging out and introducing each other to one another's friends very soon after we met. Ashley and I will have sleep overs and fall asleep at 10 and we love it. haha I can totally be myself around Ashley and do stupid things that I wouldn't do in front of other people. Also Ashley will listen to all my stupid stories and laugh at them no matter how dry they are. Even though Ashley and I have a different style of music for the most part, our love of music brings us to show each other our new finds. It's pretty awesome how many songs I have fallen in love with because Ashley has shown them to me. Ashley is very comfortable around adults and I admire her for that. I love her to death!!!!

Rachel Potter is an amazing girl. We met at EFY 2008 in Provo. We were in the same group and we had so much fun together everyday. We clicked so easily and I knew that we would be friends forever because she is that kind of person. After EFY we kept in touch. We would email each other constantly. I told her everything. I still tell her everything. I know that I can go to her for any advice I need or if I just need to vent to someone. She is the kind of person that I could talk to for hours. And we have done that. Rachel lives in LA so that kind of causes a problem. She has come to San Diego a few times since we met but it hasn't been enough. Every time she comes we have so much fun together and our friendship grows more and more. She is absolutely wonderful and I love her so much! :)

Brynn Naylor. What to say about her? Actually what not to say about her? I have known Brynn for as long as I can remember. We have just recently become really good friends though. Brynn and my sister were best friends and then when Marissa went to college last year Brynn and I became really close. Also, Brynn and I went to Texas for a week summer 2009. Around Brynn I can completely be myself. No boundaries. I felt like I was always in Brynn's car and I felt like those were the best times with her. We were able to talk about everything. Brynn kind of became my sister when mine left. Brynn is also and amazing example to me. She always does the right thing. She also makes everyone smile probably because she is always smiling. I love Brynn!

Becca Dorian. I love this girl so much. We also met at EFY 2 years ago. She was in the same apartment as me and she came in late. When she came in I had a feeling that I should go talk to her and so I did. We became friends instantly. When we found out that we were both from San Diego , we were really excited. We went to EFY together the next two years. We go crazy when we are in the same room. I can totally imagine her being my future roommate. After EFY Becca and I talked everyday and we still do. I tell Becca everything, and I mean everything. I have called her so many times when I am having a bad day and we just talk on the phone and cry with each other. She always puts me in a good mood and I can always count on her for advice. She is such an amazing friend. I love Becca Dorian!!!

Marissa Lang. Well there is a lot to say about Marissa since she has been there since the day I was born. Marissa is my older sister. We are crazy together. We have been best friends ever since we were little. We have always gotten along very well. We would play American girl dolls together, house, barbies, bratz dolls. You name a kind of doll, we played with it together. She has always been there for me. I feel lucky to be younger than her because I have been able to learn from her experiences. She has always been a good example to me. We have shared a room basically our entire life. There were so many nights where we would stay up til 10 talking about the most random things. 10 was really late when I was 12 and she was 15. I would fall out of my bed and she would laugh at me, but it was a loving laugh. We have a lot of weird inside jokes with each other. There are so many I don't even remember what half of them are even from. When I was a freshman and Marissa was a senior we go the chance to go to the same school which hadn't happened in a long time. We had sooooo much fun driving to school and to seminary. It was insane. It would always be really hot and then I would roll down the window and Marissa would scream at me to roll it up because she was cold. We would mostly just scream at each other in the car. We would be cracking up though. We would drive into the school parking lot and the guy at the top of the hill would see us cracking up and he would look at us like we were on drugs. It was great. When she went to college, I was devastated. That year was really hard. I never realized how much I leaned on her for support. I love Marissa so much and she is the greatest sister that anyone could ever ask for!!!

I am so thankful for all of these wonderful girls. They have changed my life in so many ways. They are the greatest!!!!!
