Friendship

I am so grateful for my friendships. It seems when we let our pride down for a minute and ask for the friends that are going to make us better people they magicaly apear. I have asked for that blessing. Holy cow! I have always kept to myself, because of childhood experiences left me skeptical and not able to trust anyone. I have grown out of that. Wisdom from past mistakes and hardships left me so bitter and a lone that I couldn't stand my life anymore. So I opened up, came out of my shell & tried to be a better friend. It so amazing what power people have. The one that bring you down., lift you up & make you a better friend. So to name some names that paved the way to open my cold bitter heart;

Michelle Farr my older sister that took care of me and opened up her home and life to a teenager. She was my neighbor in provo canyon. I started out watching her son Chase when he was barely 2. Then she moved to Orem and let me help her. I was a live in nanny. She let me live with her and dealt with Scott too. She helped me at such an early age. I think I was 15 when I lived with her. I loved taking care of her beautiful children, making dinner, and being a part of her family. Belli-thank you for your charity. I am in your debt for saving my life. You gave me such a purpose for life and love. Your love for life and taking care of your body helps me today. Your fight for life inspires me to fight like you for things that you love. Our hardships have made us stronger and more loyal. I love Chase and Kenz like my own sis & bro. I call them every year on their b-days to let them know how much I love them. Now 16 & 19. Wow I feel old! I love you guys.

Rachel Morgan. My neighbor and sister in crime. Thank you for you charity and love. She helped me through a huge ruff patch. We are so much a like. We literally lived on the same stoop. We would hang out at each others house and talk in our Jammie's all day. She helped me out with Dylan cause I sucked at being a mommy. She inspired me to stop wearing black and grey and open up to new fashion possibilities. Rachel thank you for your sweet, charitable heart. You have been such a perfect friend. I wish our lives weren't so crazy. I wish you lived next door to me. I miss your visits. You are so honest and loyal. You taught me to be myself, love myself and take better care of myself, my home & my children. I love you girl!

Amy Harrison. You have been so charitable and inspired me to be a better mother and crafter. You are such a good cook and can do everything perfectly. Your pictures are perfect! I am so grateful for your friendship. I have always felt I didn't deserve it. Thank you for preserving my baby pics with your perfect talent. I love you!

Chelon Colquit has the power to change your life. She helps you trust and love others. She is so charitable and kind. She is so normal too I love her for loving you for no matter where you are and kicking your butt if you need to be better. Especially with the gospel. I love you
Chelon I miss you terribly. I wish I was a better friend when you where still here. I carry a lot of guilt. You are a true and genuine friend to everyone.

My next stepping stones where Shana and Jen. We where neighbors it seems like forever. We have been through so much together. Shana and Jen are so close. I sometimes envy their unity. I am so grateful they included me in there friendship. Shana is too funny. She has such a sweet heart. She is so generous with her compliments and genuine love for all she meets. She has a huge list of friends that she has under her happy spell. She is so positive an happy. She is a strong woman and goes through so much in her life that she does not deserve. Shana I love you so much. You have made me more positive and compliment people more. It is so rewarding to be more like you. I wish you less stress and more of what you give out to all of your friends.
Jen is the silent storm. She is so gentle, but fierce in her talents. She is such a good example of keeping her calm. Shana and I make fun of her cause we want to hear her yell. She can't. We envy that. But she too is a sweet spirit. I have known her for 5+ years. She is always there for her friends and family. She gives you a purity and comfort in a crazy and mean world. I love you tonz Jen.
