My favorite memory with you.






So lately I've been thinking of all the friends I made in college and how they all affected me so deeply. And how I know Heavenly Father made sure we were in each other's life at that particular moment in time. I really miss all of you. I mean even if I was still in Utah, I still wouldn't be seeing you all. And people have to move on and move away and have their own families and meet new people. But you always have those friends who touched your life forever. People who made you want to be like them, who were fun to be around, who didn't judge you, who would just laugh with you or do nothing at all with you. People who thought you could never aspire to be as good as and people that you helped out. People who you thought you had nothing in common with and maybe you really didn't but you were still friends. So anyway, I thought it would be nice to list a few of these people and tell what my favorite memory of them is. So here goes... this could take a while! In no particular order...
Erica Morey aka Rica!!!- One word...Roadtrips!!! And also my favorite memory is doing nothing at all with you but just being the same room together. The knowledge that you were there gave me comfort. Also playing games (Rummikub) and watching our fave shows!!
Nicole Winegardner aka Nic Nac- We had a lot of fun at the villa but I feel like our friendship really blossomed after you got married and when you had Samantha. Which is totally weird and not many people stay connected if one is married and one is not. I loved doing crafts with you and talking and swimming!!!
Lauren Alyss Ashley- My fave memory of you is when we stayed behind that one night and layed outside looking up at the stars (even though it was freezing!) and talking about the things we understood that not many other people do. And the kindness and patience you always showed towards me.
Kamila Kasparian- Wow, you are so special to me! My favorite memory is all the times we went to the temple together. But especially when that nice temple worker thought we were sisters because we showed so much love towards each other. :)
Heather Hansen- I loved all the times we spent together. I always felt so happy when we could hang out. My favorite memory with you is when I was talking with you one night and at that moment I realized I was a good person. It was a HUGE moment for me and I think you helped me reach that realization. Plus you always made me feel like such a great person! Oh and watching and making home videos!!
Lindsey Dompier- Dompy Jo!!! I love the day you took the time to take me to the mall because it was my wedding anniversary and I was having a crappy day remembering it all. I loved singing in the car with you and running errands with you!
Candice Schlosser- You were there from the start! My first friend at Monticello who was a girl. You just accepted me from the beginning but that special summer we spent will always be in my memories.
Lindsey Watts- The most tender memory of you is when I was having such a hard time. All the other girls lost patience with me but you stayed behind and said a prayer for me. You cried while you were saying it and I knew you really cared about me and loved me.
Chelsea Dong- You put up with so much!!! I was such a wreck then but you were still my friend! I can't believe it, looking back on how messed up I was. I loved watching movies with you and singing to Gwen Stefani!!!
Melissa Chaston (Nath)- My favorite memory of you is walking around together and talking. And swinging on Y-front's porch and talking. We always had such great conversations. And painting together!
Kaitlen Schlosser- Swimming every day and watching cheesy movies together! And doing nothing together! And playing yahtzee!!!
Dara Kruman- Singing lullabies and primary songs with you. You singing lullabies to me to help me sleep. Talking about life in the late hours of the night.
Katy Stovall- Playing Nertz! Singing musicals! Swimming! Kneaders! Disny movies! All of our memories together are fun ones. :)
Rachel Caldwell- That night not so long ago when I was having a HARD NIGHT! And I texted you and we went to Spoon it Up and as I confessed my imperfections you told me we weren't so different! That night was just what I needed!!!
Ashley Wilkinson- You and me have alot in common. We are both sensitive and emotional! My favorite memory with you is when we went to the hot springs. Well we tried! And just dancing with you and having fun together! The night we danced for three hours in someone else's kitchen!
Lisa Heniger- I didn't really know you but something told me I should move in with you!!! Even though I didn't right away, we eventually became roommates and great friends. My favorite memory with you is our road trip to Disneyland and all our conversations about boys!!!! And making muddy buddies!!! Yum.
Rachel Fisher- My favorite memory with you is buzzing your head! Actually I just love how passionate you are about life and how you always make me feel so loved because you love so freely. Plus you always have a good story to tell and you are FUN!
Okay, that's not everyone so I hope no one reads this and feels super left out. But those are the people that came to mind tonight. Also these are all people that I lived with for some period of time besides Ashley (we hung out all the time) Kamila (you were already married and we were at work together alot!), and Rachel Caldwell(I just love you!).I love you all and I'll never forget you!!! Leave a comment of your favorite memory with me!!!! (Please!)






Love forever, Mary Cherry Woodall

Oh Mary! I have so many favorite memories with you: watching Top Model, GGs & The Holiday (Jasper!), going swimming on campus & showering there cause our shower was gross, laughing, listening to Gwen Stef, going to Vegas for your birthday, and so many more! I loved the times we had together & I loved being roommates! Love you!
