auntie k

this one goes out to my main, my go to girl and best friend since day one. auntie kala. if you've met her you know she's beautiful, but if you have spent time with her you know she is the definition of that word. beautiful in every way possible

see what I'm sayin

i guess i've always known this, but being away from her (living in utah) for the first time made me realize how great she really is and how not great i am when i can't see her face everyday

i may be taller, and 8 months older, but she's definitely the example to me. it sounds cliché, but i don't think i've ever met a more christlike person. and i'm crazy lucky enough to not only have her as a best friend but as family too. she's the greatest and thats that 

ps. i leave on my mission in t-55, and she leaves soon after. and we won't see each other for two years...and thats just really hard for me to think about. i already miss my favorite human

and here is just a glimpse of our wonderful relationship

19 years young

this time last year i was just a senior in high school, all i had to worry about was what i was doing the next weekend or what kind of drink i was getting at circle k. now all my worries include talking in an australian accent everywhere i go and how I'm going to get back to az for all my best friends' weddings. life is very happy/sad. sad because people come and go so fast, time never stops and we can't travel every weekend. happy because the best people live in king henry 309, waffle love is in provo, and the sun is still shining.
i think birthdays always have this weird effect on us, making us look back and get emosh, wondering about things and thinking extra hard. i mean one year older and wiser too, we have to use it right. well this birthday was by far my best one. i didn't get to spend it with my parents and siblings but i still spent it with my family! I've gotten so close to all my friends up here in utah that it is easy to call them family. my roommates, jordan and paige, are like the two older sisters i never had and i love them so much! I've never met more caring and hilarious people in my life, they made my birthday. end of story
we take a lot of pictures around here, this is just a few of my favorite moments from february 16, 2014
