JENNI IS AMAZING. I met her three years ago when she was a leader at my old Stake's Girls Camp. I loved her the first time I saw her. It was a sunny day and I was sitting under a shady tree taking pictures when she came to sit outside in her lawn chair and we just started talking! I found out that she was the mother of my adorable friend, Maggie, and the sister of my favorite camp cook, Brother Akin. Jenni made me laugh with all of her funny stories about her life. She is a proud wife and mother of two, who looks for nothing but the good in everything around her. She has a beautiful, big, permanent smile that is visible from miles away. She is a fantastic photographer. She has great taste in music, I might add, and is a great dancer! She gets along with everyone. There is no such thing as a PARTY without Jenni. She lights up the darkest situations with not only her flashing camera that she brings with her everywhere she goes, but with her happy spirit and bright, sparkling eyes. I love Jenni.
So, sad story: I moved. Yes, I know I haven't blogged in so long when so much has changed in these past few months, but yeah. I left a lot of wonderful friends and memories behind and I've spent a lot of nights crying myself to sleep. It's been hard for me to blog because it reminds me of my old school and home, and also because I don't know where to start. So I won't. I'm finished. Oh, darn, I'm crying again! I miss everyone so much! :'( I need to accept the fact that I have a different life now and not continue to ignore it with Facebook, where I can just "talk" to everyone like nothing ever happened. I do love my new life, though. I really do. I have an amazing ward, a beautiful home and neighborhood, and I will be starting my Junior year in a new, gigantic, fancy school. I just had Girls Camp with my new Stake last week and am now in Virginia working as a nanny/tutor for my aunt and uncle's four kids. I will go home four days before school starts.
Anyways, back to what I was saying. Jenni. Yes. So Jenni (who BTW the reason why I call her Jenni is because she does not want to be called a Mrs.) wrote me on Facebook (the only way I've been communicating with the world, lately) today and was wondering why I haven't been blogging. I told her that I just haven't been able to get into it and she said that that wasn't a good enough answer. So here I am, blogging for my dear Jenni, hoping she can feel my love for her from so far away. Jenni, I miss you. You truly are an amazing person. Just a typed comment from you lit up my day, today. I hope this was satisfactory? Hahaha I love you!
Love, your friend, Laura Anne
