Father's Day and Friendships

i know father's day should have its own post and all... but there are other things that have happened as of late and they are just gonna have to be included as well. so get over it.

but. we'll start with Father's Day.

that handsome blue-eyed man on the left is my pops. (my mummy is pretty stinkin cute too though.

i just wanna say that i have an amazing dad. he's so supportive and kind. He has been the greatest example of a gentleman and a husband and a father to me. He has a work ethic like no other and is one of my best friends.  i needed this guy to help in raising me. he's guided me through more struggles growing up than i can even account for. 

so thanks daddio. you are the man.

whilst the celebration of father's day yesterday, we also had a goodbye party for my Aunt Stacey and Uncle David. they're running away to Missouri. it's crazy. i'm really feeling for my mom right now. Stacey is her bestie (other than mwah) and it sucks and it's not fair and i totally understand what she's going through because all my best friends are leaving me which brings me to my next topic..

missions.

sigh** whether it's 18 months or two years. the wait is going to be a struggle for me. my best friends are all on their way to preach the gospel and i can say i'm going to miss them more than anything.

Payton Sorenson:

Junior Year Homecoming

this kid left last Wednesday for New York City. We've been through a lot together and have been best friends a long time. He's the biggest goofball you'll ever meet if you get to know him and intimidates the hell out of everyone else. i'm glad to know him as well as i do. I love Elder Sorenson!

TAYLOR SOUTHWORTH:

my best friend since sophomore year

this pretty lady is leaving me on August 14th to go teach the people of Boston, Mass. it's unbelievable.  Taylor is literally my best friend.  she's been there for me through all the tragedies and awkwardness-es of my high school years, as well as i have for hers. I don't know how i'm going to cope with the fact that i won't be able to text her whenever i'm lonely, or have 3 hour skype sessions about the horrors of our lives or go buy carne asada fries for the 2nd time on a saturday night from Filli B's.  She understands me like nobody else does! ahhhhhh! WHAT THE HECK AM I GONNA DO? HOW AM I GONNA LET HER GO? but that's selfish. those people need her and she's about to do some pretty amazing things with her life. i just know it.

the struggle is real.
