Where Are All the Boys?!

So I know I haven't blogged for a while, but I had some time and thought what a perfect time to blog! Life has been pretty great lately. Just working, spending time with the family and friends, and just having a good time. Everything has been going great except I am losing all my boys!!!! I've finally hit the point where every guy I know has either left or is leaving to go on a mission....IT'S CRAZY!!!!!!! It is a good thing they are leaving to go on a mission or I would NOT allow it any other way!

I really can't believe that I am old enough to have all my guy friends leave for missions. It seriously feels like yesterday that I was little and missionaries were the cool, older kids.....Now apparently I am part of the cool, older kid crowd. Well I don't know about cool, but at least older haha! I am growing up way too fast and I am not ok with it!

Here are just a few missionaries I watched go over the past couple months! I love these boys!!!!


This is Scott! I stole his pic off facebook, that is why its all fancy! I met him through being involved with Copper Hills. I was the orchestra teacher's daughter, he was the band teacher's son, hence we got along! We were both involved in music and music pit and he actually took me out last winter, and might I add it was one of the best dates ever! He is such a great kid....Missouri will love him!


This is Austin! I met Austin through school last year. We were neighbors and ended up becoming amazing friends! He actually also played the cello and we found out later that we were in Utah Youth together for a year and didnt even know it (although he played trombone then)! He is such a great kid and probably one of the most spiritual people I know....Arizona is lucky to have him!


This is Landon, also one of my neighbors from last year and funny enough former basketball player of my step dad (it's quite hysterical how small this world really is)! Lando is such an awesome guy! He was probably one of the guys I got along best with last year and got really close to. He is funnier then all get out and could always find something stupid to do and make you have a good laugh! I love him to death and I know he'll have fun in Oklahoma!


This is Townsen, also another friend I met at school! He was my upstairs neighbor and a great guy! Oh the conversations me and him had! We seemed to be the two that could always find some way to end up in deep conversation. He is probably one of the funniest and most loved kids I know...the kid has friends that go on for miles!!!!! He is so fabulous and I know Arizona will love him!


Now I know most of you know this handsome red head, but for those that don't this is Reg! Oh Reg....where do I even begin. He is one of my bestest guy friends...oh the things we have been through. He went from biggest crush to greatest friend all throughout high school. He was my first date and he is probably one of the greatest guys I know! His example and spirit is enormous and he is so loving and such an amazing friend! Haha I dont know how that fair skin and red hair will treat him in the sun and heat, but I know he will have an amazing time in Peru!

Now those are the boys I have just sent out that are some of my really good friends! I have so many more guys that I have known and went to school with that have left and I know they are doing great! It's crazy to think that two kids, who I have grown up with since I was little, have been for 9 and 10 months! I actually just got a letter from both Taylor and Cameron and they are doing great and loving their missions!

Luckily I only have a couple more friends to send out. I dont think I can take anymore leaving me! I've got one friend from school that can shortly put in his papers and the my bestest friend Alex just got his call to Honolulu, Hawaii! That lucky duck! That is one pretty sweet mission if you ask me! I will say it now and I am sure you will hear about it in October when he leaves, but his will probably be the hardest for me just because we are so close. Kathryn, him and I are like the 3 amigos, the 3 musketeers, the 3 blind mice for crying out loud!!!! Even though I live in Logan, the 3 of us are still stuck together like glue. I cant believe he is going for two years!!! It really just blows my mind!

As hard as it is to see all these boys go, I know that they are doing the right thing and being doing exactly what they should! They have taught me so much over the years and before they left they were already spiritual giants, I cant wait to see how much more they grow over their missions! I LOVE YA BOYS!!!!!!!!!!
