valentines day.

i honestly don't get why there are so many haters of valentines day out there.
people view valentines day as either the chance they have to spend with their girlfriend/boyfriend..or
point out "single awareness day.."

don't get me wrong, it would be nice to have someone that loved you more than the world and would be there for you all the time. but honestly, i don't HAVE to have that right now in my life. i'm only 18! i don't HAVE to have a boyfriend to like valentines day. it's a wonderful day to have LOVE in the air.

i want to use this valentines day as a chance to thank all those wonderful people in my life that show unconditional love to me. :)

here are just to name a few....

my best friends:

                  

       

my family....oh how much i miss you guys. thank you for always being there for me. thank you for teaching me the importance of hard work, service and love. thank you for teaching me the gospel of Jesus Christ. thank you for your unconditional love.

 

my wonderful katie swain....my closest friend since i entered this lovely world. we have been friends all my life. she is the sweetest, lovliest girl in the world. i am sooooo blessed to have her in my life. i miss her more than words can say. i wish she was at college with me...next year baby!
