Savor the Moment.

 March 20, 2008.

 This is the day that I got my best friend. 

Today I looked back on 'Through the Lens' blog posts, to find any photos that Caity and I have taken through the years, and I stumbled upon this great day in our History...

http://nicolethegreat-winona.blogspot.com/2008/03/ouchyum.html

This was the first day that I EVER hung out with Caity Rose Sullivan! WHAT?! I know, right?  I was stunned when I got to this post. It shocked me to remember the days when I didn't see Caity every single day! It made me really thankful to have her as a best friend.... And that's when I realized....

A Best Friend isn't a title. It's not a label either. Best Friend isn't how many pictures you share on facebook, or who has more friends. Best Friend isn't about who looks better in the yearbook, or who got a boyfriend first. Best Friend isn't about who gets asked to which dances, or who makes it onto dance royalty, or onto student council. Best Friend isn't about who has more stuff, or who's more popular.  Best Friend is a trust built by two people, that can't be broken. Best Friend isn't something that comes without hardship or bickering, but it is the thing that always prevails. Best Friend is having someone's back, and knowing that someone has yours. Best Friend is an HONOR.

Best Friend is not caring how ugly you look in the first photo you ever took together, and posting it on your blog anyways. 

(But Please dont' judge us.....) ;)

Choose wisely...

Don't make any regretful actions.

Called it. ;)

Alright guys! It's time for one of those "actual blog posts" again! :) This is what I've been up to lately...

The Cedar Game! :) Caity, Courtney and I trekked it up to Cedar High School to watch the last region football game!

Individual Lifetime Activities class basically equals playtime with your friends. ahhah. Loveee this.

Chandler, Caity and I hung out with Josh and his friend over General Conference weekend.

Plant and Soil Science! Seriously LOVE This class to the max! It's such a blast!

This was the day that the DH FFA chapter combined with the PV Chapter. :) We went to the corn maze, and it was SO good to see Emma again! Miss her!

Farm Field Days! We got to ditch school to hang out with fourth graders at Staheli Farms! So much fun!

Bowling! Yet again... this is Individual Lifetime Activities. SO much fun! Everyone should take this class! :)

I'd be lying if I told you I missed you.

Sometimes when you love someone, you have to let them go. 

... Sometimes you need to learn to love YOURSELF, and let someone go.

Hi Autumn.

It's so fall right now... 

I can't believe that first quarter is OVER! So ridiculous... 

Autumn is one of my favorite times of year. :) I'm stoked for the fun that it's about to bring. 

Change is in the air, and I'm so not mad about it. 

If only I knew what I know.

I hate texting.

This is why I hate texting.

SERIOUSLY THOUGH! 

Does this not annoy you? I mean really! Talking to a member of the opposite gender is NOT all about strategy! Texting for this very reason drives me nutzo!

Don't get me wrong.... Texting is really great for things like Young Womens reminders, club meeting announcements, emergencies when you can't call the person you need to contact, and there are probably a couple of others that I can't think of at the moment but...

I think texting 'relationships' are ridiculous. Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand why verbal communication is so difficult.

I'll admit... texting has it's perks (like the fore-mentioned) but it's really important to be able to talk to people face to face as well. I hope that my peers catch on quickly, or we'll probably end up texting our marriage vows at our weddings...

Famlies can be together forever. ♥

What a great way to end Conference Weekend! :) A sweet photoshoot with my family, in Pine Valley. Love to the Max!
