In Loving Memory

Chelsey and I in Sandpoint, ID. Her "famous" tongue sticking out :)~

Sara, Chelsey, and I out for Sara's 21st Birthday

I had a really close friend pass away August 8, 2008. Her name was Chelsey Marie and I am lucky to have had so many amazing memories with her. It has been one of the hardest experiences I have ever gone through, still going through, and always will for the rest of my life. The feeling is indescribable. I still get goosebumps and sick to my stomach knowing that she passed away. I don't want to believe that this happened, but I know I cannot live in denial. I think about her everyday and know that she is in a better place. It will be a long process and I have people there whenever I need to talk, share thoughts, laugh, and just let it out.
I plan on sharing many of our memories on here so get ready for some entertaining stories!!!
I love you Chelsey! ♥

Step by Step

My senior year started at the end of August. I love the feeling knowing that I only have two semesters to go and then I get to graduate! We are about 6 weeks into the fall semester and it is going by quite fast. It can be very stressful at times with deadlines and exams, but somehow I pull it off last minute. I really need to stop procrastinating! I turned in my graduation application yesterday so that's one step closer to finishing. I most likely will go back to school to get my graduate degree, but I'm definitely taking a break.
I have had a blast attending the griz football games and tailgates:) The photo is from the time I went with three of my friends, Sara, Aubrey, and Kaleigh. We met at Aubrey's house and added peppermint schnapps to coffee to get the game day started out the right way. Haha, don't worry I'm not an alcoholic by any means!
As of now, I am excited for the weekend because this has been one long week! Hopefully, I do something fun so I can write about it;)
