#4 - #8

Okay, so I'm not the best at keeping up with this post thing everyday. There is just so much I want to write about everyone!

#4: Tyson Santo

I met Tyson in 7th grade on the school bus. My first impression of Ty was that he was really funny and outgoing! And he's only continued to be more outgoing and silly.

Tyson is like my big brother! I haven't seen him a lot lately, but it was wonderful to see him today! He has such a loving personality and I know he cares about those around him. I can remember getting off the school bus one day in 8th grade, and I was crying. I had had such a hard day and nothing was going right. I remember there was a guy that was being especially mean to me. Even though they were just words they cut deep. Tyson immediately gave me a hug and told me that I am loved. He told me to just ignore this guy and remember how much my Heavenly Father loves me. I will never forget how much I appreciated Ty's true friendship. And I still do!
Tyson, thank you for being my big brother! I always got a laugh out of it when you really convinced people we were siblings. Thank you for being such an example to me. When we were talking today I could see a light radiating from you! I am so excited for you to be able to serve a mission in the near future. You will be such a powerful missionary! I am glad we are friends (siblings)!

#5: Sarah Riser

LeeMin & Sarah

I met Sarah in junior high when we had a class together. We were instant friends! Sarah is such a sweetheart! I love her so much!! She is one of the most thoughtful people I know. I can always count on her to be there for me when I need it. She's put up with me so well. From having silly fights to crying over guys... she has always been there for me. I love her laugh and I miss our silly shopping trips for the most random things. We even bought duck bubbles once...

Sarah moved to Texas right before our senior year started. Both of us were sad that we wouldn't be sharing our senior year together! But I hear she is doing well and liking her new neighborhood. I can't wait to see her again, even though I don't know when that will be. I am so glad I can still text and call her.

Sarah, I miss you woman! I need to call you soon. I really wish you could be here for my baptism this Saturday... you will definitely be there in spirit! Remind me to send you lots of pictures! I hope we can see each other soon. And... I still need to send you that glass pan... Ha!

#6: Susie Laird (and family)

Mark, Susie, Esther, Jayson & Lizzie

The Laird Family is so special to me! I met them through another family in my stake. All of them are so loving and I am always laughing when I see them! I really admire Susie, she is such a wonderful mother. You can't be around her without feeling loved. I am so privileged to babysit her three kids. Those three are some of the sweetest children I have ever met! I love coming over to babysit. They always give me lots of hugs and kisses! My favorite thing is when I sit down to play a board game with them; they get along so well and they always get a laugh out of it when I don't know how to play the game. :P 

#7: Tucker Hardy

I met Tucker my sophomore year of high school, his senior year. We were in the same ballroom class together. Tucker was on MV's ballroom team his three years there and he is such an incredible dancer! Tucker is just hilarious! I always felt happy around him - I honestly can't remember a day that he didn't smile when he saw me. He sat by me on the bus in the mornings going to school and we had such a great time talking and laughing.

Tucker, thank you for being such a true friend. You helped me through one of the hardest times in my life. I am so glad that I could trust you. Heavenly Father crossed our paths for a reason - and I will forever be grateful for that! You really inspire me to be more optimistic and outgoing. I hope you are doing well, my friend!

#8: Stephanie McMahon

I LOVE this girl! I met Stephanie at BYU Education Week this past August just before school started. Steph is so bubbly and silly! We met just before the first class of the week started and we stuck together for most of the week. I am so grateful that we started talking! She is from North Carolina, so I don't get to see her :( But I am glad we still have ways to talk to each other.

I love how outgoing this girl is! She went up to everyone at Ed. Week and I couldn't keep track of all the names of her new friends! She has such a true, pure heart. And her laugh is the cutest thing! We had some incredible experiences at the classes we went to and I hope I will always remember them!

Steph, Robert Stanley says hello! He's a little squished.. and somewhat dry... but he's still in one piece. ;) I miss you, sweetheart! Thank you for being such a great friend. You made it so easy to meet new people. I really admire you and your sweet spirit. I don't think you know just how amazing you truly are!!
