Ernie

That was my nickname.  One of them anyhow when I was little...although I wasn't really called Ernie.  More or less when we would watch Sesame Street Brianna and I always saw the "B" & "E" on their beds and knew it was us.  :) 

But this post isn't about that, it's about laughing, movies, smoothies and so much more.  It is about some great friends. 

I have been spending tons of time lately with my incredible roomie Megan and 2 guys in the ward, Randy and Patrick.  The funny (and somewhat sad) thing is that we have been in the same ward as these guys since August and yet we are finally getting to know them and can I just say they are amazing?! They make me laugh and smile and are so much fun.  As cheesy as this sounds I feel like I could be friends with them forever.  I know it probably will not happen, that's just how life goes! Right now though I still with them as long as I can.  It's like we are the 4 musketeers (there were only 3...technically I know but...oh well).  It is friends like them and so many others I have here that reminds me of why I am down here in Provo. 

I know there are moments that I lose sight of that, there are moments of sadness, anger, worry, but really?  There are more moments of happiness than anything.  How grateful I am for all my friends down here that I have.  Whether I haven't seen them in a while or whether I see them everyday I love them all the same and I am so thankful for them.  How blessed I am for them!
