To those that may not know how much they mean to me.

So, this blog post I must give all the creative credit, and the idea to do it, to Jenny Pachev. Without whom, it wouldn't exist. :D

A few of my very most especial people, and biggest heroes.

1. Haley Brooksby
Haley is the sweetest, most selfless girl I have ever met. She's so kind to her autistic brother. She plays with him, teaches him, is patient with him. She is humble, smart, funny. She honestly cares about everyone. She'll laugh at your joke even if it's not funny. Assumes the good before the bad. Very nonjudgmental. Haley is my hero, and I seriously look up to her.

2. Andrea Bytheway
I don't know her that well yet, but I love her. She always treats me like an equal, even though she's about ten years older than me. She's lighthearted, fun, and kind. She's one of the people that will stop you in the hall and say hi, ask how your days been, and make you feel appreciated and loved. I want to be like that.

3. Melissa Price
Mama Price expects from you what she knows you can give, even if you think you're already giving your all. She's fun, and loves to party, but keeps us crazy kids in line. She pushes us to be the best. As I've come to know her, she treats me as an equal. She respects me for who I am.

4. Tanner Brooksby
Even after months of not seeing someone, this kid is still friends with them and is always inviting. He is devoted and kind to his family, works hard, and dreams high. He is always looking to see when someone needs a special word of encouragement. He is completely trustworthy, and wants to learn everything he can. And that's something that I can admire.

5. Brittany Keys
Sister Keys, will always be one of my role models. I'm planning on naming one of my girls Brittany in fact. The reason, is her devotion to us girls, the time she puts into making us feel loved, and the great feeling of acceptance I personally felt from her. She was always thoughtful, followed the rules while still having fun, and was very spiritually minded.

6. Brother Snow
Brother Snow is a temple worker that I met once when I was doing baptisms. He is so sweet. The first time I met him, he told me I was beautiful. He's funny, caring, and he waves to me every time I go. All in all, he makes me feel very loved.

7. Whitney Boyle
Whitney is such a wonderful person. For one thing, she's the only one that's as geeky as me about books. :) Besides that, I can talk to her for hours, we share the same interests. She is humble, she works hard at her studies and family relationships, and she is the most loyal friend anyone could ask for.

8. Chris and Marie Bross

Brother and Sister Bross are two of the most amazing people I know. You can just tell they were meant to be together. They are ever so humble, and yet ever so incredible. To Linley, their little girl, they seem to me, the perfect parents. 

They're patient and kind, and at the same time, they're firm and they follow through.

They go on dates every Friday, and always make time for each other no matter what's going on in their busy lives.

9. Lindsey Edgecomb

Lindsey is a phenomenal natural leader, loyal friend, and loving sister. She's not afraid to be who she is, and she is always there for me when I need her. If ever I need a friend, I can turn to her. She is funny, beautiful, friendly, and always including.

10. Kayden Robinson

Kayden's work ethic and commitment to his studies is extremely impressive. I've always wanted to be as hard working and dedicated as I know I could be, and Kayden is my model for that. Thanks. :)

11. Hailey Merritt
Well, to say the least, Hailey has been a huge blessing in my life. She has always been inviting to me, kind to me, and has made going to church and mutual worthwhile. She is always there to listen to me, and when others need to talk she's there for them. She's bright and happy, caring and funny, and she can always find a way to make me laugh.

12. Brinnley Johnson
Brinnley is incredibly talented at ballroom, fantabulous in fact. I really admire that she keeps her standards high in her dress choices, in her move choices, and her language. And she still makes finals! She works very hard, and I've never heard her say something mean about anyone. She's fun to be around, and is very encouraging.

And that's all for now! Please remember that if you are not on this list, it is just temporary, and mostly for the people that might not know how much they mean to me.
