A picture of you and your friends

This one is comin atcha early because i dont want to do it tomorrow and i'm waiting for something to upload.

And last but not least certainly by any. Even though it is at the top... is Brandon L cochran. This person came a lot later in my life that I expected him to, and once he was there it seemed he was there too soon! There has never been anyone on the earth like brandon. Brandon makes me laugh harder than I even thought physically possible. He makes me feel completely at ease. He is the most beautiful man inside and out and he's a genius. He has terrible music taste sometimes but he is always serving me, doing the dishes or rubbing my back or singing to me. He used to snore but then he decided (with some help from my jabbing im sure) to just stop. which is incredible. He has all sorts of interests and is always learning something new to share. He teaches me to be a better person, to be less selfish and more loving. He just spilled the entire bag of popcorn kernals on the floor in the kitchen and now I can hear him chuckling while the popcorn pops. He has the best attitude of anyone I know, and he loves the Lord. I know I will die laughing someday if he is around. And I hope with my dearest heart that he is. I tell him if he dies I'll kill him. He is my missing piece. He is going to be the father of my children, he makes me happier than I could ever fully understand. He completes my life. I love him and I am lucky to know him.






So, I know kirst is going to kill me for posting this picture since it is really old and we have a million more that are better and beautifuller. But, this one is important because we'd known each other for a while but I was visiting utah to get my hideous perm, and I fell in love with kirsten while I was there and decided I really wanted to get to know her which was an excellent decision since she has been a friend and comfort to me ever since that trip (curls or no curls, hairs or no hairs). Kirsten has listened to my heartaches and my brain, and probably what I say in my sleep ( i know I've listened to hers... summerbeans) and she kind of kept me in one peace during Brandon's deployment. She stayed the night almost all the time so I wouldn't be scared, watched me cut my own bangs one time and then helped me find someone to fix them at 11pm that night (we laughed about that one for a long time) she takes pictures with me because I'm vain and she loves me absolutely and completely. Kirsten is a genius, she writes beautifully, and says the right things when it counts, (which is all the time) she listens, and cares and is careful with people. She is shy at first but when she opens up to you she is a beautiful person inside and out and I love her dearly.




This is beeny and dello, they were my roommates in a basement that flooded at one in the morning the week of finals two years ago. The helped me decide not to be dumb, do my own hair, and how to do dishes. They also gave me the best buttercream recipe in the world.








This is Bradley, he helped me through a really rough time in my life. He witnessed me break up with harrison in a pool at king james apartment as a joke and the first time i ever slugged a guy in the face. Momentous occasions. He's my peter pan kid, he makes me crack up and one time he threw an apple at my head and it really hurt but he said he was sorry. He even visited me after I got married and nobody was around and I was the loneliest i've ever been in my life. Cheers bradley.







This is Kait. She is the smallest person i know. She is smart and she changed my life for the better. She made freshman year at BYU a hoot. And taught me what modesty, and courtesy was.





This is sarah tayebi, she is my sil (sister in law) and just look at her! She radiates the most loving light, and not even just to me! But the best part of sarah is she makes you feel like the only person in the world, she listens to your heart and is accepting. She is smart and has the BEST LAUGH holy moley! And even though she will tell you differently, she has a soft, clear beautiful voice. She appreciates culture, and cultivates interests accordingly. She knows everything you ever wanted (or maybe didnt want to know) about celebrities (which is invaluable because i know nothing) she likes paper cupcake liners and i used to argue with her because i thought tinfoil ones are better but it turns out she was correct. She is incredibly modest and loyal and THOUGHTFUL. I love this lady.






This is krista kay neeley, she is my other half of a brain (determined the good half). How can I sum this lady up in less than a novel? I'm not sure. Krista is everything. Krista is beautiful and smart and THE MOST LOVING person in the world. She is accepting of everyone, she is inspiring, she is creative and the hardest worker i've known. She succeeds at anything she puts her mind to. This is us our freshman year at college, it's funny how I should have felt so homesick but I had krista, and krista is kinda home for me. I still feel that way when I am with her and when she is absent from my life I miss her terribly. She is loud and infectious and 100% fun. But krista has a serious side too, it begins and ends with her heart and is filled in between with the best ideas and words i've seen. I love this girl. She never forgets or leaves anyone out. And she can cook to boot. Like, REALLY cook.






This is sam, (his initials are sam too, isnt that awesome?) he's one of the only people in my life who i know would drop anything to be there for me. He never made me feel anything but beautiful, and always treated me like a princess. He is one of the best listeners, and he accepts me completely for who I am, even the awful terrible no good very annoying parts. He's smart and funny and I know he'll always be in and out of my life. He's a good friend.







This is Megan, her heart is as beautiful as she is and if you saw her little girl your heart would melt. She helped me TREMENDOUSLY through the deployment and was a constant support, listening ear, and always made me feel good about myself no matter what crazy shananigans the military (or me) was putting us all through. Megan is selfless and her laugh is contagious.




This is my little brother geoff, people have been saying i look like him since he turned 12 ish. It bothered me a lot at first because, hey, i'm a girl and i'm pretty sure he is a guy (for def) but this kid has a lot of soul. He laughs at my weirdest jokes and kinda just gets me. He appreciates everybody and is really easy to get along with. He has excellent taste in music (underground rap) and the guy is hilarious. (it's hard not to just upload a picture of my whole family because they are all so awesome but i'm kind of ashamed to say that I don't know them all as well as i would like to in the future.)





This is my sister Lachelle Lee, isn't she beautiful? We don't have very much in common but I look up to her more than anyone I know, she is brilliant, musically genius, the best writer I've read, and always knows what is happening with the world. She's stubborn and she is a fighter and she has the biggest heart I know like Pistol Pete Maravich but figuratively.






This is Trinity, she is hilarious and smart and loud and always honest even if it hurts like mucho and she is the boldest woman i know. I like her and she helped me through the last half (which is much harder than the first) of the deployment. I WISH I HAD A PICTURE OF ALL MY MARINE WIVES THEY ARE AMAZING WOMEN WHO I ADORE.




SO thats it more that you ever needed/wanted to know, but i had to give it to some of these people. they've done more for me than just one blog post can hold. i am the person i am because of these people and MANY more people. Like my parents and my entire family and a whoodoo of other people that i cant even mention because its like, a boatload.

i love you all. and if you're reading this then you probably changed my life for the better too. just to listen to me means an awful lot because i talk an awful lot.
