roommates.

[i found this post in my drafts, i wrote it a few weeks back but never posted it. it's just me preaching about my best friends. big whoop. it's all true.]


i was talking to a friend at work the other day, and of course i started preaching about my roommates to him. he just laughed and said, "all freshman girls think their roommates are the best thing that ever happened, they get up in testimony meetings and start crying about how great their roommates are" that comment made me a bit angry. i snapped back with, "hey! my roommates really are the best though, they are going to be my best friends for life". and that's when i realized how stupid i sounded, BFFL?? anyway, no one understands the relationship we have here in 29, these girls really are my very best friends. i can talk to them about anything and they make me feel loved. even though we're all going to be in different places this next school year, we're always going to be close. 

Carrie. Shmee.

we all know i'm in love with Carrie. she's my woman, my shawty, my go to person for everything and anything. she's my favorite person to dobe around with and have late night conversations with. we've been going strong for a good number of years now and i don't think we'll ever stop being best friends. she is so beautiful! everything about her is beautiful. i love her courage and devotion to the gospel. she is very opinionated and i love that about her; she knows what she wants and she knows what she believes. Carrie cannot be swayed into crossing the lines when it comes to her standards and she lets people know that. i look up to her in so many ways. she is my favorite person to climb with, "reliability is key" haha. she's one of the only people i trust to belay me actually. i'm always feeling safe when she's at the other end of the rope. life is always funny and good when she is around. i think everyone could use a little Smeifs in their life. i love her so much!

Kim. Kimbo. Burlz.

Kim makes me feel like a rockstar. she is always willing to sit and listen to what i have to say, or any problems i am having, or to just about anything. she always gives the best feedback and advice. i value her opinion so much because i know she has a level head on about a lot of things. i wish i had her dance moves as well, she is so G status. if i were a guy i would be so afraid of Kim, intimidating to the max. Kim is one of those people that you can always count on to have fun with. seriously, she makes everything so much more fun than it should be. like trips to Walmart are famous with Kimbo, they are always so funny. one more thing, she is so loyal. you can always trust that she will be there when you need her. always.


Mia. Mihuh. Mishk.
Oh, Mia. Mia is such a nerd. at the beginning of the year when we figured out we both have a deep love for all things HP, LOTR and Star Wars, it was love. i love when i hear her giggling as she's looking at her computer screen and i know she's found another nerd pin on Pinterest and i can always count on her showing it to me so i can giggle with her. nerd love! Mia is my hero as well. she knows what she wants and she sticks to it, i am so proud of her in so many ways. she always makes me feel awesome, she's always complimenting me or laughing at things i say or faces i make. i'm not that cool but she makes me feel like a rockstar. love you mia!


Tarah. T-Dizzle. T. 
T is probably the coolest girl i know. really though, i've never met a girl who is as awesome as Tarah. i wish i could have her patience and her cute laugh. i can remember the first time i met Tarah and i just thought she was the cutest and i still do. nobody has ever seen T in a bad mood, nobody, it's not possible. she never complains, she never joins in on gossip, she's always happy and always excited about life. she sees the best in everyone and everything, the littlest things can make that girl so happy. when you come home from work or class she always asks how your day was and is genuinely interested. if i were a guy i would date her in a second. one day she is going to make a special guy very, very happy. and he better deserve her or so help me.


Megan. M-dawg.
Megan, Megan, Megan. i admire Megan in a lot of ways. i wish i could feel her passion for life and love. she has this incredible ability to love people very deeply and it comes to her so easily. she also has this ability to draw all sorts of crouds to our apartment because of her cooking skillzzz. boy, she can cook, bake, you name it. one time at church we ended up not having a Sunday School teacher for that day so Megan just jumps up to the front of the classroom and starts teaching. how cool is that?! i love her desire to try new things and she's always, always good at whatever it is. when she sets her mind to something she sticks to it.


i love these girlies.
