lena love.

my dear bestest friend,

oh my holy goodness. I just felt like this occasion was one that needed a proper shout out. Sometimes I feel like maybe I post too much on your facebook wall, and people always question us if we're lesbians but it's only because they don't understand. I wanted to take a minute to let you and all of the blog world know my thoughts on you. First off, there are no words to express how grateful I am for you. You are my saving grace, I truly mean that. A very very long time ago way back to '07, I was going through the hardest time of my life. I never felt more alone, confused, and lost. I didn't know it but my life would forever be changed by one phone call. Lauren and I have always known each other, we may not have been the best of friends or even cared much for each other but one night Lauren had the prompting to call me and ask me to hang out. Without her knowledge I was looking for a good friend, someone that had the standards I wish I obtained, someone that could be understanding of all the terrible mistakes I was making but leading me towards making better decisions. We hung out that night, we got food, chatted, and I opened up to her more than I have to anyone before. I knew right then, I found a friend for life. She is the one that showed me how living right truly makes people happy, her knowledge of the truthfulness of the gospel made me envious, I wanted what she had. I knew I needed to make changes in my life, and she was the answer to my prayer. She took me by the hand, and helped me through everything. She would stay up listening to me cry, and be with me when I would rejoice. She knew I was still struggling with things but she never lost faith in me, she knew I would come around and that I could eventually do it. Since then she has become my sister, she knows all my secrets, she knows what makes me happy, sad, laugh, cry, mad, and annoyed. She knows me inside and out and she's been a huge reason why the last two years of my life have been the best two. She's been there every step along the way as I gained the testimony I never knew I would have. She taught me to laugh when people make you mad, she helped me discover dark eye make up is NOT attractive, nor is spending tons of money on jewelry. She's helped me grow a deeper appreciation for the outdoors, and learn to love everybody. We never fight, and if we ever say or do something to cause contention there usually is an apology in order within the next hour, and we would be back to normal. We were a package deal, you didn't get one of us without the other. She's the only one who gets my jokes, and laughs when I do my silly little dances. I'm going to miss having someone to sing at the top of my lungs in the car with, someone who will wake up at anytime of the night to listen to me cry over a boy, someone who will make treats with me, and someone to tell me I look pretty when I'm not wearing an ounce of makeup. She is now going to do one of the most selfless acts and serve a 18 month mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Well, len poo you're well on your way to being the best missionary ever because you've already saved one soul. You will forever be my other half. I love you, Sister Kearsley. You will accomplish amazing things, I know it.
