Day 4

Your favorite photograph of your best friend.

Neight is my best friend, always and forever, but for this post I'm going to focus on someone else.

As weird as this is to say, Emily, my beautiful sister is my best friend. This is weird because we fought ALL the time growing up. We actually weren't close at all until I got married. At that point we both grew up a little bit and realized that we would always be there for each other.

It seems like I've always had a hard time making and keeping friends. I'm not sure why, but even now as an adult out of high school, I can't get it right. Luckily for me, my sister kind of has to be my friend.

Emily is so inspiring! During her senior year she was senior class secretary (talk about stressful!) and also the Sterling Scholar from Granger in the Trade and Technical Education category. Being part of the senior class student government, Emily was in charge of planning Senior Ball AND graduation!!!! She also put a lot of hard work into being a Sterling Scholar with applications, portfolios, and interviews. After Emily graduated the first week in June she moved down to Cedar City to finish her cosmetology hours and start her college career. During her junior year, Emily, was able to start working as a cosmetologist in the school district's lab. She started working towards her 2000 hours she needed before she could take the state board to become licensed. Unfortunately there were a lot of bumps in the road and she wasn't able to complete the hours in high school. The week after Emily moved down to Cedar she started at a cosmetology college in hopes to finish her 2000 hours and get her license. She definitely has more guts than I did right out of high school. I'm not too worried about her. She has a good head on her shoulders and is very motivated.

Emily is coming home to visit tomorrow! I am so excited to see her and spend time with her!
