All Grown Up and Married.

Life comes at you fast. A year ago I was still in high school, living at home. Independent, yet still almost completely dependent on my parents. Now I am away at school at USU. Completely on my own. The past seven months have brought more change and challenges than I have ever had to experience and I have grown so incredibly much.
In a few months I will be all done with my freshman year of college. As cliche and cheesy as I may sound, I really feel like only a few days ago I was walking across the stage receiving my high school diploma with all my friends. We have since gone to many different schools and hardly ever get to see each other. But the memories we've had together will always live on.
A few days ago on March 2, 2012, my longtime friend and teammate Kasha Bandmann (who will always be known as Barbara to me) got married in the Timpanogas temple. I can't begin to say how proud I am of her for getting married in the temple. She has set the tone and example for me and the other girls in our graduating class and I am incredibly happy for her!! :)

I unfortunately wasn't able to make it to her wedding because of a soccer banquet, but I wanted to make this blog post to show her I cherish all the many memories and times we have had together through the years. :) We have won games together, lost games together, pushed each other in practice every day, laughed our guts out in the car during the many soccer tournament trips, going off the jump before practice every day (we are rebels!!), sneaking into the pool in st george, dancing on the medians (getting caught by coach lamont), dancing by the marching band while they practiced, throwing bread balls at other cars and getting busted, our "six sisters" night running around the football field doing things that will not be mentioned on here (hahahahah) , leaving garbanzo beans on kronkie's (coach ryan) porch, leaving half eaten burritos named gus on a different certain person's porch, going INSANE at dances and breaking everybody's circles, dance parties on the bus on the way to games, always FRONT ROW on the railing #1 fans at football games, telling our seminary teachers we had to get our ankles taped so we could get out of class an extra 20 min early, dumpster diving in the hostess dumpsters, listening to that song with the baby crying in the background on REPEAT, "If you love me then, thank you! if you hate me then I'll (BLEEP) you!", talking in our Gus Gus voices everywhere we went "uhhh happy boifday!!" "uhh why you so chuuubby???" ... driving everybody insane and having boys think we are crazy because of how dumb we sound (but that didn't stop us, we didn't care!), playing hide n' honk whenever we had to wait in the car, spontaneous dance parties in the high school parking lot, running around in our sports bras around the field whenever it rained ..... and the list goes ON and ON! these are only a few of the random memories I thought of off the top of my head. Here are some pictures I've found of some wonderful times! :)

Just one of the many fun high school dances!! This was Homecoming Senior year.
