An Ode to Friends

Today I went to visit an old roommate and I was thinking how great it is that we're still good friends even though it's been almost 4 years since we've lived together.
That got me thinking about all the awesome people in my life that I know I can count on- no matter what. I would just like to pay a tribute to a few of them at this time :)

I will start with the Roomies - since that's what got me started on this whole thing.
These are the Roomies- Mandi, Trina, Chels, and Me-ghan. This was taken at our most recent annual Christmas gathering.


We all lived together our first two years of college. Then they all went off and got married - Crazy kids. None of us knew each other when we first moved in, with the exception of Trina and Meg. Amazingly we all got along, and to this day remain good friends. I love them all very much and know that I could call them up for anything, anytime, and they would be there for me - even if it's been months since we've even talked.

Next I will speak about my best friend from high school - Sarah Carter Joslin

We had our drama back in those high school days, but now we are the best of buds :) We still talk atleast once a week on the phone since she lives in Cedar and I don't get to see her much.

My very best friend is my Wingman.


She is so awesome and I know I can count on her for anything, day or night (if I can get her to wake up ;) ) She has put up with a lot from me over the years, and I am very grateful. I'm going to miss her a ton while I'm gone. You're the best Wingman! WMFL

The other people I know I can always count on are all my AF buddies.


We have spent so much time together over the
last few years we really have become family. I could go on and on about each one of them individually - Colby, my personal psychiatrist. Tolman, my mechanic. Sarah, my neighbor. Kara, my fellow red-head, Echols, the inner child in us all - but I'll stop there because I know this is kinda lengthy, and I'm afraid I'd leave someone out. But you all know who you are and you already know how awesome you all are :) I am excited to continue onto the Air Force knowing that these are the kind of people I'm going to be working with. I definately wouldn't have made it this far without all of them. They have truely turned me into who I am today. I'll miss seeing you all every day. But it's a small Air Force right?

Thanks to all of you. I'm really going to miss all my friends and family a great deal while I'm in Germany. But it's because all of you that I am where I am and where I am going. I'm very grateful for that and am going to make the best out of this opportunity.
See you all in the real world!
