I am beyond blessed. I have some of the most amazing friends I could ever ask for. I cannot thank God enough for my wonderful friends Eleisha, Courtney, Liz, KC, Joseph, Haliaka,Lauren Mugar, and so many people. I love all of these friends dearly, but I do miss them so much when they're gone. So, I'll reflect on them and what they've taught me:

1. Eleisha-I am SO glad that she has finally come back to me after being gone for 2 years. This girl is simply amazing. She has taught me to be happy, to work hard, to play hard, to serve others, and to follow the Savior. She is one of the most happy, generous, sincerely kind, and amazing people you will ever meet.
2. Courtney-I love her and miss her lots. Courtney is an outstanding example of peace, joy, and kindness. She does things for the right reasons, and always has a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on.
3. Liz (AKA my sister)-Liz is honestly one of the most kind and guileless people you will ever meet. She does everything for anyone, and always does the most thoughtful things for others. She has taught me to be more observant of those around me, to be patient, to love others, and to love and follow the Savior.
4. KC-KC is like my big bro. He takes care of me and I don't know where I'd be without him helping me each step of the way. KC has taught me to dream big and to work hard towards these dreams. He has also taught me that the best friends are those who are there in hard times. Not every moment in life is full of sunshine, so it's always good to be that shoulder to cry on for your friends.
5. Joseph-Joseph has taught me a lot, unbeknownst to him. He has taught me to be strong, to be fiercely loyal to those you love, and to focus on the positive. Joseph sees the good in others, and will earnestly try to help everyone, even if you are a crazy, hair-brained mess after finals. :) I sure miss him.
6. Haliaka- She has been my friend through so many years. Her constant kindness, smile, and warm heart never fail to make me happy. I have learned to smell the roses from her. She has a calming spirit in which she makes others feel good about themselves and others. I wish I could be like her in this regard. She has taught me to focus on the most important things in life such as your family and the Gospel, and to love others and the Lord above all.
7. Lauren Mugar-What a sweetheart!! I have learned to be calmer, to listen to others, to have adventures, and to take time to relax from Lauren. She will be leaving on a mission soon, and I will sure miss this amazing gal!!

I am so grateful for my amazing friends and for all they have taught me, and continue to teach me. I hope that I can someday be half the outstanding friends that they are to me. I am so lucky. I lead a charmed life. Life is simply wonderful!!

Love, Janae :)
