It could have always been better, but I was to absorbed in other aspects of growing up. My mom always took me to get manicures and pedicures, we always went shopping the week before school, and she always resolved my boy and friend problems. My dad was always so loving, he was always such a big example to me because of all he has accomplished in his life.

We all grew up together playing night games and riding the bus home from school. My house was beautiful my parents worked hard to have a gorgeous yard and a really clean home. It was a three bedroom home with three levels. In my mind it is still the perfect starter house.

(The story.) Ryan had planned a hiking trip with my family to hike up Adams Canyon together.

We had a really lovely walk but Ryan was extremely talkative and I almost killed him because we were going up the really steep part at the beginning and I could not talk any more until we got further on the hike. When we were almost to the water fall I thought I saw Ryans dad and turned back to my mom and said "i think I saw Ryans dad" she said no you didnt and pushed me a long. When we got to the waterfall my dad pointed out an area and told me to go look at what was set up on a rock.

Right now in my life the most important person with me is my husband. I dont know what I would do without him. Together we make the perfect combination. I am so thankful to have him and all the wonderful adventures we are able to do together. My best friend is my mom, there is no one more wiser and beautiful than she is. I think so highly of all my family because every individual has such a huge influence. Its been such a blessing to grow up with who I have as aunts, uncles, and cousins but its been another blessing to add on the Porters and Warners, to have older siblings and so many more people who are there for us. I am also thankful for my friends Makinsey Chilicote, Jenn Little, Brooklynn Call, and Morgan Gray for all your wonderful personalities and for teaching me so much!
