My very best friends

Sunday, January 18, 2015
-- I just want to start this out by saying how thankful and happy I am that people have been asking to read this. It truly means a lot to me that people care enough to ask to read my words, however lame or unlame they may be. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you all so much --

Anyway, let's cut the sappy talk and spew out more sappy talk.*











Although I think I'm going to talk anyway, so here we goooo.

Are most of us familiar with Brooklilannah? Well if you aren't, Brooklilannah is the "ship" name that my two very best friends, Brooklyn and Hannah, and I made up. Now that that's been settled, it's just been "Lilannah" for awhile because Brooklyn is on her LDS mission (hi Brooklyn if you're reading this in the future!!). Anywho, Hannah's visiting for a few days! She flew in this afternoon and she's here until Wednesday. How fun is that?!

Like... super fun.

We, as in Brooklilannah, have our own song. You know how when you listen to a song and you think about your OTP or a certain person? Well, we have one. It's not by Eminem, either.** So we've been jamming to it together, but it's just not the same without Brooklyn. However, that's okay. She's not gone forever, thankfully. (;

If it's one thing I've learned from Brooklyn and Hannah (and my friends here, Laurel and Sierra... and yes, we're called Laurelilierra. Honestly, we're all so great), it's that you don't have to know someone for most of your life to be best friends with someone. I've honestly only known Hannah and Brooklyn since summer 2012. And we've been super close ever since. Even though we're scattered around and Brooklyn is a year and grade younger than Hannah and myself and the fact that we didn't go to the same school or even lived in the same town (we all lived a town or two away from each other), we're all joined at the hip.

And it's like.... you don't even have to have the same interests and things in common with someone. Brooklyn, Hannah, and I are miles apart on things we like sometimes, but we also have a lot in common. If you stood each one of us side by side together, you wouldn't think that we would be friends. But we are. We click. We connect. We understand each other. We're in tune with one another. We can tell when another one of us isn't okay. We're there for each other to the best of our ability.

I'm so blessed that Hannah is here and I'm so blessed that she's my best friend and has stuck by my side. I'm so blessed for Brooklyn and how strong and spiritual she is. I'm proud of her for serving an eighteen month mission when many girls her age aren't. I'm happy that they haven't given up on me when they could have walked away. They're the most amazing two people you'll ever meet and I'm so happy that they're my best friends.

** = it's a #brooklilannah thing. You wouldn't understand.
