A trip down memory lane..

A little less than two years ago I was getting ready to graduate from Morgan High School. I had a plan and I was sticking to it. This plan was to attend Weber State University and go into their Elementary Education program. I was set on this and NO one was going to change my mind. I didn't think of any other options because WHY? At Weber I get free rent and I had a small scholarship there...I mean come on who wouldn't go there!?!? (if you go to Weber don't be offend) These plans changed in a matter of a few weeks. My mom had told me many times I should apply to go to Snow college, but I DID NOT want to live in the middle of NOWHERE! So of coarse like most children do...I didn't listen to her. Until one day I was talking to my friend Bailee, and she told me she was going to Snow. Well to make this LONG story SHORT I decided that Snow College was the place for me to go. I haven't looked back on the decision I have made once.

Today was my last and FINAL day at Snow College. It was a very bitter sweet day. I wasn't sad to be leaving the tests, the stress, the long hours of studying, the smell of turkey, and the LONG drive home. I was SAD to be leaving all the great memories, the late nights, the walmart runs, snow creams but most of all the friends and roommates. When going to Snow I was terrified. I was going to live with people I have never met or even seen in my life. This was a challenge for me and I knew that I was going to have to go out of my box to get to know them. I am glad to say that my roommates are some of the BEST people I have ever met. They have made me a better person, a stronger person, and overall just a better me. There is NO way I will ever be able to repay these young ladies for what they have done for me. I don't think they will ever know how much of an impact on my life they have had. They truly are a BLESSING from heaven.

Jerika is one of the most easy going girls I have ever met, and this was a good thing. She made our apartment a fun place to be and was always there with willing arms to help. She made people feel like they were ALWAYS welcome at our apartment. She someone I will NEVER forget! Jer was the one to always help us remember that LIFE is SO funny. Jer thanks for all the laughs...I am thankful that you cry when you laugh too. Thanks for being there for me whenever I needed someone! You are the BEST little sister anyone could ask for!

Alexis, I don't even know where to begin with this girl. When I first met her I was a little bit afraid of her. She was a little intimidating, but after I got to really know her there is no way anyone could be afraid of her. She really is one of the most kind hearted individuals I know. She wouldn't kill a fly without feeling guilt. :) Lex taught me how to be a better person in life and also in the gospel. I don't remember a day that she wasn't on her knees praying or reading her scriptures. When I am older I WISH I can be at least half the person she is and I will be content with life. She is one of the greatest people I know not only because of her heart but also because of her out look on life. Lex is always happy and is someone you can ALWAYS count on to give you a good laugh. Lexi thanks for being you and being the MOTHER of our apartment. You really have taught me so many things in and about life. You are going to make a great mother someday! You are the BEST little sister anyone could ask for!

Paige, is the most friendly person I have ever met. She was always saying hi to everyone and making sure they were doing ok. She was still a GREAT friend when she lived all the way in Hawaii. There is NO one like Paige Robinson! She is a great individual that will go far in life. Paige thanks for all the pillow talks we had and all the lessons I have learned from you! You are the BEST room-roommate I think I will ever have!


Shacari, hmmm where do I start with this young lady! She came into our apartment a little too LATE I believe. ah...I LOVE this girl. I think it was definately meant for her to come and joy us this past semester. She is a great person that holds high standards...you can tell just by looking at her that she has the light of christ glowing through her. Shac thanks for being you and standing up for what you believe. Thanks for letting Paige and I tease you all the time. Thanks for preparing me to become a better missionary. There is NO doubt in my mind that YOU are and have made a difference. You are the BEST little sister anyone could ask for!

I did have more roommates and don't get me wrong they MADE a difference also, but these four ladies have had the greatest impact on me while at Snow College. I will never forget them and the difference they have made in my life! Thanks for everything you have ever done for me girls!! I MISS YOU ALREADY! Much love!



UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN...
