withdrawals.

I miss my friends.
Every single one.


I miss my two best friends, Coleman and Jordan. (yes, I miss Laura too.) But, I am having serious withdrawals. They are on missions and doing the Lord's work, but I WANT THEM TO BE HERE TO HANG OUT WITH ME. Is that too much to ask?! Yes, it is right now. It's going to be a year and 8 months before they are back. But, that's better than 2 years! I want them here to make me laugh, and to make me have a lot of fun times--even though they were 12. I hate missing people, but I love looking back on the memories we have together is great. And I love them dearly.

Another person I miss is this girl right here: Julie Ann Nelson. She is such a talented girl, and she is the light on so many dark days. I know she's having the time of her life in Provo, and she's becoming an amazing (even more than ever) graphic designer. But you know what!? I don't even know if that's what she's still doing with her life because I don't talk to her nearly enough, and I need to chat with her ACRAP. Love you julesbules. 


Some great Halloween memories!


These three girls are some of the most amazing girls I've ever met. Lauren is missing, but we are BEST FRIENDS, and I am so grateful for them in my life. I think they are such wonderful women, and I am so excited to see everyone progress over our lives and the paths we will go down--together and separately. I love you girls!!


These two are twins. You could say I'm the triplet. I hope they think so. That'd be awkward if they didn't. Anyway, I think these two girls are so great. We talk about EVERYTHING, and we have the best time! Gospel discussions usually arise, and that's what I love about them. There are so many things that I can tell these girls that I, for some reason, can't tell too many other people. I love being around them, and miss them so much.

Paige Marie Heyn has been one of my best friends since 9th grade. We are TWINS. We think the same, we love the same, we act the same, we drive each other crazy, and we have fights, but ultimately, we know the other is right, and we are okay. We have great discussions, sometimes crying, and we go very well together. rather like oreos and milk. 

This is Eliza Glauser. I love her SO MUCH. We have been friends for a long time. We kind of suck at communicating, but when we do, we chat for hours. Laughing, joking, making memories...it's all fantastic! I think she is gorgeous, talented, and such a beautiful person on the inside as well. 


Jonathan Edwin Johnson IV is such a great kid. He is leaving on a mission soon, and I want to hang out with him. I want to have a big party for him or something. Also, if he needs a first kiss, I'm down.


THESE ARE MY BEST FRIENDS. We are on our 4th year as a group. We have the best time together. These are my bridesmaids right hur. Among others. I don't know what I'd do without these amazing ladies, and I love them so much. 

Fun times at Skyline football games. Senior year represent.


Sign Language family. I miss going into Teresa's class and doing absolutely nothing. Some of my favorite times in my high school life.

Michael Milkanin holds the key to my heart. Dancing with him is incredible, and I think he's amazing. He is the only person that has consistently called me my FAVORITE nickname: Millie. The summer I spent with him, I learned a lot about being a good performer. I can thank him for that. I can't wait to see him on Broadway one day!!

Elizabeth Anne White Clarke is married. Obviously, hence the Clarke. She is an incredible musician, girl, spirit, and friend. I am so glad she's having such a wonderful new life, but I miss her and wish for her advice daily. 

No, coleman, it's not an ordinary housewife I'm dealing with.
Ohhhhh I'm being so sentimental, but I don't care.


Mary Catherine Stuart is one of my first REAL friends. We have been friends since the age of 8. We are peas in pod. We would walk home from church, and take 3 hours doing it. We have a tradition of eating potstickers every sunday afternoon. It's such a fun time when I'm with Mary! I miss her, and I know she misses me. 

Robert Durham Parkin is one amazing guy. He is currently serving in the Hong Kong China mission. He is an amazing missionary and is helping all the people he comes in contact with. He and I clicked. I've never had a boy that I could just...talk to. I told this kid EVERYTHING. I know that him being in China is the best thing for him, but when I needed advice, he was my go-to guy, and he's not here. Oh well, he's making other peoples' lives amazing!


These are my little munchkins. I miss them more than anyone. They bring me so much joy, and happiness. Holden is SO FUNNY and loves to cuddle with me. I think it is the greatest feeling when a little child snuggles up with you and will just watch a movie. He asks me questions and everything! Quinners is a mini-me. My sister says that it's like babysitting me EVERY DAY all day. I feel bad for her, but not really, because Quinn is so stinkin' cute. I love these two children with ALL MY HEART.


These people are amazing. I've used that word a lot, but it's TRUE! These people are my people. I've never connected with a cast like I have with these guys. They are all so amazing in their own individual ways, and I am so grateful I had them in my life for 3 months. Angie and I are twins. Kandyce is incredible and makes me laugh SO hard. Taryn and I have the same humor...we have so many inside jokes, it's unreal. Nick and I are the same person. Aaron and I are in love. Todd is an AMAZING example. I just...love these people. 


Alright. Last but MOST CERTAINLY not least, are these two ladies. I did not really begin to connect with them until my senior year of high school. Where was I? I'm not sure. But, now that I'm with them, I will NEVER GO BACK. I have never laughed so hard as I have with these two. Ever. I would swear on Harry Potter, that's how honest this is. I cannot put in words my aching for these two girls. We have so many plans for Thanksgiving and Christmas Break, and I couldn't be more excited! I love them like sisters, and they are so important to me!

Being up in Logan, I get a lot of great experiences, but I do have a lot of thinking and alone time. I get very melancholy, and miss all of my wonderful Salt Lake friends. I think they are stupendous people, and they mean the world to me.
