Miss You Katie Lew!

Today Katie Lewis will be leaving Arizona for home in Ceder City. Who would have guessed that in a few months someone could influence my life so much.

These are from one of our numerous girls nights. Can anyone beat brownies and painting toe nails? I submit that they cannot. Except maybe the time we went to see the "Reflections of Christ" display at the visitor's center. It was an amazing experience and I'm so happy that we got to share together.

This is from the ward camp out that she planned beautifully! The dog belonged to a drunk guy that was getting arrested right by our campsite. Katie and I drove up together and successfully pitched not one, but two tents! We're pretty much the coolest people ever! Several of us went on a walk to look at the stars and Katie told us lots of stories about the constellations. That night she also serenaded all of us with her wonderful music. I can hardly wait until her CD comes out on i-tunes!

It seams that Katie and I like to eat... a lot... The top is at a surprise birthday party for Katie's roommate, the bottom is at Katie's birthday party (in case you couldn't tell by her blowing out the candles). Katie and I work well because she likes being the center of parties, and love throwing them :) I think that means it is meant to be or something....

The times above were lots of fun, but it seems the best times I had with Katie were in a car. Whether it be at Sonic (which it frequently was), or the institute parking lot, outside her house, or outside mine, we had our best talks in the car. I loved talking with her about all my thoughts and feelings. I loved discussing our hopes and dreams, our thoughts on the future, and always, our frustrations with boys. Katie is also the only person that it isn't awkward to hug in a car, which made the end of our conversations much easier.

I miss you Katie! Thank you for everything! I wish you the best in Ceder and then at Utah State! I'll see you again soon!
