Allison
This girl is amazing. She is one of the sweetest, most humble, and kind girls I have ever met. She has her priorities set. She knows her values and sticks to them, like super-glue. She sets an incredible example for me. She inspires my desire to serve others. She is spunky and fun to be around, and knows how to do that without any compromise to her moral standards. She loves the gospel with all her heart, and is constantly sharing it with everyone she knows, as well as the world that she doesn't know. I love Allison for her devotion.
Allina
Powerhouse. Allina is strong. Strong-willed, strong-minded, and most definitely strong-bodied. Allina is opinionated, not overwhelmingly, but opinionated still. She is honest. She is passionate. Allina and I have a lot in common, and although we haven't had many opportunities to share our interests together, I have always admired Allina, and she has really been an influence on the way I view myself. Allina works hard for her relationships, for her individual goals, and for her beliefs. I love Allina for her drive.
Alex
I have written about Alex before. He is still his quirky self, but since I last blogged about him, I have come to know him even better. Alex is still one of my very best friends. He is like the same person I am. He understands the way that I relate to people, the strange way that I connect with people. On multiple occasions we have realized that we are having experiences that are eerily similar at the same time. I can tell Alex my feelings without feeling judged. He may not agree with everything that I say, but he actually listens and tries to really understand. Beside that, I laugh with Alex. Oh boy, do I laugh...yes, the things that we may laugh about may be slightly controversial, but some of the most funny things I have ever heard have come from his mouth. Ha...just this morning, I laughed so hard with him that I got a stomach ache (it didn't help that I was swallowing massive amounts of air...haha). I love that we can laugh at things that nobody else catches. It's like a secret...and who doesn't like a secret? I love Alex for being me.
Bryanna
I have only good things to say about Bryanna. She is just a fun girl to be around. She promotes such a lively atmosphere no matter where she is. She knows how to make people smile. Something that I have always admired in her, is her desire to do what is right. To make good decisions. She gets things done, and when she is done, she has done the best she is capable of doing. The activities that she plans always turn out to be big hits. I love Bryanna for her commitment.
Chase
I can say this with confidence. Chase has the most beautiful hair I have ever seen on a man. Chase is one of the most easy-going, friendly people I know. His attitude about life is incredible. He knows the importance of being kind to everyone, no matter the circumstances. He is all about a good time. He loves his music, and is constantly surrounded by uplifting tunes and heavy lyrics. He plays amazingly, and sings just as well. Chase has a genuine love for mankind that I have rarely seen in anyone. He wants everyone to be happy. I love Chase because he loves EVERYONE.
Benjamin
Benji is the Godfather. He directs our uncoordinated group when we need it the most. Ben is stern, but kind. Ben is incredible. He juggles a million things at a time and is always wearing a smile. If I were in his shoes...I would be dead. Ben is responsible. Ben is outgoing. Ben is giving. I don't think anyone in our group works as hard as Ben has to hold us together. Through our tiffs he is our glue. I love Ben for his faith.
Bridget
I can imagine that yesterday was probably one of the longest days Bridget has ever experienced. She drove to St. George to run a half-marathon. While running, her tendinitis returned, but she finished what she set out to do. She didn't give up on the months of training that she had pushed and pushed to be ready for that run. Then she drove back to Orem
Jorden
This woman is GORGEOUS. Jorden is fun...on a new level of fun. Jorden is always laughing. She makes everything she does fun. A simple game can be the most fun thing you've ever done, if Jorden is there. I see a lot of myself in Jorden. She has been through quite a few rough patches in the past year and she has been able to pull through every one of them with an attitude that things will be okay. Even though I don't know her whole story, Jorden gives me hope that everything will be okay for me too. I love Jorden for her hope.
Jordan
This boy can make ANYTHING look good. He could make a port-a-potty pretty if it needed to be. Jordan sticks to his friends. He will do anything to help his friends be happy. Jordan has smarts that I could never amount to. Jordan knows how to appeal to people, he knows how to make others happy. Jordan dresses well...and I always appreciate a guy with a good sense of fashion. He creates. He is constantly building beautiful things and making the world more aesthetically pleasing. I love Jordan for his appeal.
Jenner
What a goof:) Jenner rubs off on people. He definitely has a positive influence in his encounters. Jenner can take sarcasm...which, in my case, is very important. He doesn't take offense. Jenner is lively. At six in the morning, he is still making people laugh. Still being silly and fun. I love Jenner for his youthfulness.
John
Hahaha....oh, John. He was the silent one when we first started working together. Everyone thought he was going to stay that way too...the shy introvert. John is not the shy introvert. John is constantly cracking jokes...usually really cheesy jokes, but that is what makes him so funny. John tries to include everyone. He is a peacemaker. He pulls people together...sometimes literally...haha. I love John for his endurance.
Kami
In two weeks, Kami will be married. Technically, she no longer works with us, but she will remain a part of our group as far as I am concerned. Kami is constantly smiling. She knows everyone...and she makes everyone feel like a best friend. Kami is a best friend to everyone. She shows genuine interest. I love Kami because she is real.
We are definitely far from perfect...especially me, but together we work. We build trust together and become stronger with every encounter. So much sleep is lost at our sleepovers, but I don't miss it. This family is worth it. I'll sleep when I'm dead.
