My Best Friend's Wedding

Thursday Afternoon was a monumental day for our nucleus (Definition of Nucleus: my solid group of girl friends=whom I love and have cherished for seven years) ..Brittany Sumsion was married.
M-A-R-R-I-E-D.
I still remember the day we met in 8th grade at

Fairfield Junior High School. Our families both moved in that summer and from the moment we met, we were inseparable.  
We----Chels, Britt, and I----- ran hundreds of work-outs together (all four years in track and even ran the 4-by-4 our senior year at statebreaking the school record), laughed together, cried together, learned together, went to school dances together, lived our teenage lives together, discovered the many secrets of boys together, led 2,800 students in seminary council together, cheered for each other, took AP tests together, and ventured off to BYU together.
Brittany Sumsion, you are and will always be one of the most amazing individuals I know!

I love you, Britt!
Married: May 19, 2011 in the Salt Lake Temple

RACE FOR THE CURE


I run for hope
I run to feel
I run for the truth
For all that is real
I run for your mother, your sister, your wife
I run for you and me, my friend
I run for life
