more thinking....

And now on to my besties. :)

Anna Marie:

What would my life be without my lifelong friend Anna Marie??? She is so great. She really is such a great example to me. She is so strong in the church. Even when I've fallen, she's there to be an example and stay strong. I've never ever EVER seen her waver from the church. She is so great. She is truly like my sister. She's always there, we talk and act like sisters. When we used to go out, people would alway think we were sisters. She is so great. I love that she is magnetized to the rebellious type, because if she weren't we probablly wouldn't be such great friends. Same with Emily. She is so great with Emily, even when she's trying to rebel. I'm so glad that I get to live with her now. She's so great. I watch her read her scriptures and say her prayers everynight. Even when it's like 2 in the morning. I'm so glad that I have her to put up with me. I don't know who she does it. I'm so glad that I was with her when I realized I was supposed to go to BYU. If I were with anyone else, I don't think I would've been able to discuss what had just hit me, and I probably wouldn't have even applied. We can talk about so many things, from boys, to family, to the gospel. She is so great. I'm so thankful to have her as my friend. I love her just as much as I love my family .

Lexi:

Oh my Lexi. She has been my best friend for the past few years in high school. And even though I've graduated and moved to a whole different state, we are still just as close as we were. We are constantly texting each other, always sending each other pix messages of the most random things. We just get each other. We literally can talk about ANYTHING. I can go to her if somethings upsetting me. I immediately text her after something funny or embarrassing or whatever just happened. She has always been there through my boy problems or school problems or whatever problems I was having. She cares so much about me. If I didn't each lunch one day, she would freak out and make sure I ate all the time. Even if I wasn't making the best decisions, she would still stand there and be my shoulder to lean on. We've really never fought, and if we did, it was so dumb and we ended up making up very quickly. She is the true meaning of a best friend. I love her to death and I really think we will continue to be best friends for ever. I love her!!

Mark:

He's going to kill me for putting this picture up. But I love it and think it is so funny. Mark. Mark. Mark. Mark. Mark is my best friend up here at BYU. And it's been that way since day one. After our first dance here at BYU, we've been best friends. We hung out pretty much everyday this summer. We would play cards or ninja, or soccer, or even just talk. He is there for me no matter what. I know that if I needed to, I could call him in the middle of the night to just talk. We've had many late night text convos talking about anything and everything. Sure, we've had rough patches, but who hasn't? He can't stay mad at me for more than 5 minutes. And I love that about him. He can't stay mad at anyone really. He's just a loving, caring person. One time, he texted me super late while I was in Omaha, it was about 5 my time. When I woke up, I felt terrible for not answering. I'm sure that if I had done that to him, he would've answered in a heartbeat. He is such an amazing guy. Since the fall semester started we have been together pretty much 24/7. I am literally a part of their family in the apartment. I am there whenever he is... and even when he's not. :) There have been many times that I have been talking to him and not even said that anything has upset me, and he would just say out of the blue, Calli, I think you need a blessing. I'm going to get you one. This year when I was so sick that all I could do was cry in bed, he got a group of boys to come and give me a blessing. He is so great. I remember one time, when I was upset when we were hanging out with our friends, he took me outside just me and him and we just sat on the curb in silence. I finally just started bawling. He had no idea what was wrong but he was there to sit with me and just hold me. I know that I haven't been there for him as much as I should have. And I wish I could take all those times back. He's always been here for me. He's never ever walked away from me or given up on me. Last semester when I found out that Ira was in the hospital, he skipped class to come down and comfort me. He was so willing to take me to Salt Lake to visit him in the hospital. Mark is one of the most caring, considerate people I know. I always wonder why he's mine, why do I get to have him as my best friend? I don't feel like I deserve him. We talk about anything and everything. I don't think I've been closer to anyone my entire life. He is the most amazing person I have ever met and is such an example to me. I wish I could be as great as he is. He makes me want to strive to be a better person. I am so thankful to have him in my life. He is such an amazing person. I love him so much!!!!! :)
