Uncharted Territory: Lovelies

There comes a point in everyone's life when you realize who in your life really matters. The people who loved you even when you weren't lovable. The ones who you never gave up on you, and the who had the strength to put up you you and your hardest trials.
These are the people who in my life have gotten me through my darkest moments. Who never stopped loving me and through guidance, advice, tough love, laughter, and tears.. have gotten me to where I am today.
These are the people of my life.
My happiness.

Pamela Cook. aka Mom

Meet my inspiration and lifetime best friend. I couldn't have asked for a more kind woman to call Mom. Even though there are times when we just want to scream at each other I thank God everyday to still have her in my life. I know without a doubt that I can always turn to her and she'll always listen. She is absolutely amazing, so incredibly beautiful, and I love her with all my heart.

Sheena Cook

This is my Beautiful sister-in-law, but in all reality she's the sister I never really had. She has been there for me as a constant support throughout most of my life, and through thick and thin. I look up to her in so many ways. She's funny, bright and so selfless. I'm so thankful for the role she has played in my life.

Grandma Cookie

When I think of my childhood I think of this amazing woman. She's independent, stubborn, crazy and so unbelievably special to me. Even though she left us this year, I'm still thankful for the impact she had and she continues to have in my life. Love you Grandma, and miss you life crazy. I hope that every day I'm making you proud. And I pray that one day I can be the strong woman you always showed me to be.

Ashley Smith

This pretty woman has made a huge impact on my life recently. We met almost a year ago and were instant friends. If there is one thing I could say about her it's that she brings so much happiness and joy into my life. There is never a dull moment with us and there is no other person that can make me laugh as hard. I don't think she knows how much I appreciate her listening to me and supporting me throughout my recent trials. She became the unexpected angel in my life. She's my partner in crime, my facebook wife, and my best friend.

Jentry Hatch

My little sister. I can't even begin to explain how amazing she is. As I think of all the moments I've called her in tears I'm reminded of how incredibly supportive she has always been. To my dislike she has been living elsewhere for too long and I don't get to see her near as often as I'd like to. But that hasn't mattered... our friendship will forever be strong and will outlast any distance, trial or boy that tries to tear us apart. Even though she doesn't always know it, she is so strong, smart and extremely beautiful. And it's her strength that makes me want to try a little harder to be a little better. I am so thankful for her unconditional love and friendship

that will continue all our lives.

Alicia Card

It's been almost 5 years since I met this crazy girl in health class and to this day we are still taking thousands of pictures, going on unheard of adventures, and building our friendship along the way. Not everyone appreciates the loving heart this girl has, but I see it every day. She's my crazy other half

Travis Wing

Oh travy. If there is one way to describe him, it'd be the boy version of myself. He really is quite the guy and he has been such a blessing in my life, and he continues to bless my life by serving in Brazil. I'm so proud of him and the man he's chosen to become. The girl that ends up with my best friend better count her lucky stars cause he's such a catch.

Jim Anderson

My little crazy adventure buddy. I have so many memories and fond moments with this incredible man. We can sit together for hours and just talk and laugh.His friendship means the world to me. Any time I think of our moments together I smile. There is no one else in the world I'd rather be stranded on an island with. He is smart, hardworking, bad-ass, strong, and extremely sweet. He will forever be my best "boy" friend.

NUGGETS

There is no greater gift I've been given, then the opportunity to be an aunt.
