With A Little Help From My Friends

I get by with a little help from my friends. 

Friends are wonderful things. I looked up my favorite friend quotes and put them throughout these pictures of amazing friends who really had a strong impact on my life at one point and time, or even still today. We are gonna take a trip down memory lane.  There are the friends you can just go play with, friends you can confide in, friends who you can make sure are having a great time in their life and then there are the true friends who go the extra mile and call you, make sure your okay too... I have all the different types and I appreciate each friend for each role of friendship they are to me.

A true friend is one who thinks you are a good egg even if you are half-cracked. And can I just say, we are all "half-cracked" there's that time where we all break down, there's that time where we all say a ridiculous thing, there's time when we're sad over nothing, when we are confused or just lost and to have those people by your side no matter WHAT, it amazing.

This was on my 17th birthday. And these were my very best friends at the time.

Brianna Marie Anderson and Kylee Ann Falter  will be my best friends always and forever... These are the ones who will call me, who will check on me, who will listen to me and who I will call and listen to all day long. We are there for each other, marriage, college... NOTHING can separate us.

Connor and Kevin... These two were some of my best friends in my rough times of the semester. They always would make sure I was doing okay and checking on me. Now I can be that for them, like they were to me. I appreciate them taking care of me.

My "boyfriend" Beibs, is one of the sweetest guys I know. He's always good for a hug even when he knows nothing that's going on in my life, he's been a strength to me.

These guys just made my day... so they deserve a spot on it. Even strangers can be GREAT friends.

Sean Rathbone, you cannot NOT laugh when you're around this one...

Travis Flitton is the man. I doubted him at one point and time, but he really does know his stuff and he is GREAT to have girl talk with.

Heart to hearts with Chauncy were the days. It's no longer his highest desire to see me, but I still read what he's written me, I still cherish those talks and texts and heytells that showed so much respect and love for me. He really made me feel worth something when others made me feel worthless.

Megan, Codi, Stacie, Calli, Sherece...These are some of the funnest girls to party with. I love them!!! I wish I didn't find them so late in the year and I wish some of them weren't living. They are seriously the greatest!

Can I just say OSRT made my freshmen year? I love every single one of these people. I loved coming here and instantly having thirteen friends, I loved having people to say hi to across campus and now I can honestly say that there are some of my best friends here.

Jordan, Cameron, Kyle Guinto, Breanna, Christine (I don't even know who else is in this picture)... These were the days when the most complicated thing in my life was Seagull poop interfering with our jumping picture. These were my LDS friends at home, being the minority was just fine, when I had these people as my support.

Jordan Aiono, still one of my truest friends today. I don't talk to him as much, but he always cares, and he always is there.

My roommates and floor-mates are awesome. (Not picture: Shanna & SEVERAL others)

Bryce is the man. +  I miss David and Braden!

 

Liz, Ashley, Emilee, Megan, Randall, John... These people know how to have a good time!!! 

Josh and Kevin, This picture just probably says why we are friends...

Kylee Geisler, I met this girl the day that I moved in, and she still is a great strength in my life. We are gonna have a good time this summer!

Cameron Wayne Bruce, he was kinda like a brother/best friend... we had a lot of stabs back and forth at each other, I feel like he made fun of my a lot, but I know that even if I were to show up in Provo or call him today he'd be a trusting, loving friend.

Matt Carr, this is my bud. (I hope he sees that). But I can say probably some of the weirdest things that will ever come out of my mouth/noises... and he is the one to hear them. I freaking love this guy more than words can say.

 Jake Parkinson, he deserves his own picture, because even when so much drama and just weird stuff is going on in his life, he's taken the selfless time to ask about mine. To call me when I say something that seems like I'd be upset, to take me to lunch, to ice cream, gets me flowers... I love having girl talk with him and hearing his too. But he really is one of the best friends I've got around here these days as far as actually caring about me and my silly problems.

My family... all my siblings even with a thirteen year age gap, my parents even with a twenty year age gap are some of my greatest friends, the greatest people I have to trust, to have fun with, to confide on and to care about me.

Brooklyn Kay Falter... my sister and one of my best friends! Can't wait til she's all grown up and living closer to me.

A loyal friend laughs at your jokes when they're not so good, and sympathizes with your problems when they're not so bad.  -Arnold H. Glasgow

A friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be.  -Douglas Pagels

I think about all these things I appreciate about friends. I love the friends who I just party with, I love the friends who trust me enough to talk to me about their life and I love love love the friends who make the effort to really get to know me and that I can trust and rely on. One of my goals coming up here to college was to be the best friend I could be, sometimes I lose patience and sometimes I get offended easily, but I really try to be the person with no enemies, I try to be the person that my friends can always count on and talk to... I want to be a good friend. I've been completely torn down by my "best friends," I've been that "friend" who is people are only friends with if they see it going somewhere more than friends, and I've been that friend to just get to other friends.... but I've also met some real keepers... and it's my friends who get my through life happy.

Friends are kisses blown to us by angels.
