HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!
Sorry it has been so long since my last post and that this one is way over due! This Thanksgiving was a great day spent with cousins, aunts, uncles, mom, dad, and anna. It was a lot of fun! I just wanted to name 10 things I am thankful for:
1. My Family
2. My Friends
3. The beautiful place where I live (Park City)
4. The Atonement
5. Matt Knoop
6. Trials
7. The snow
8. Music, technology
9. My health for example: two working legs and arms, ten toes and ten fingers :)
10. Laughing
Go ahead lets hear what you are thankful for! There are a lot of reasons why I shouldn't feel thankful for my life right now and you know honestly sometimes I am pretty bitter about the turns and events that have taken place the past 7 months, but I am thankful for my life and everything about it. I am thankful for all of you and your examples, strength, support, and love. I hope I show my gratitude to you frequently and not just on a day where that is the focus. I hope it was a great day full of love, food, and cheer!

february 23, 1988- april 21, 2008
I don't know why, but for some reason I posted these pictures from Matt's funeral. The worst day of my life. I had to share them and I haven't even been able to look at them until today really. I do love my life, I love all the people in it, but life is hard. I know I am not the only one who has lost someone so unexpected, but that doesn't make it any easier. Someday the love I had for Matt and the love he always gave to me will be filled, that void will be filled with the love of someone else. All it takes it time thats what I have to keep reminding myself. My heart aches, my body hurts, tears come and go all the time, but I know I will see Matt again, I know this was his plan, his journey. I was given the gift to have been so so so close with him, to be his best friend. that is my plan.

Hair...
Posting happens frequently when I am bored at work... I decided that I would take some pictures of my hair for those of you who have not seen it. The pictures aren't that great to show off the hair and it is more wavy today because I was a little lazy. The pictures are also a little embarrassing I have to admit, but I was bored so whatever! I hope you like it!
New York Fashion Experience
So I was in the Communications department yesterday, declaring my major (Communications with an emphasis in Public Relations) and I saw this poster about an internship/semester in New York City for Fashion or Media! I grabbed a little info card and have just been checking it out. I seriously think it is the answer! It sounds absolutely perfect, I don't know why, but it does. I want you to read about it cause I can't even seem to explain! Check it out www.marist.edu/nyfe The New York Fashion Experience could be my answer!

Reflection
I have been feeling a little bit numb today and its not because of the cold grey weather, it is because of grief and pain. Some days my heart aches for the loss of my best friend and some days I can smile, laugh, and be happy. I have so many memories with Matt and when I think about them I laugh, smile, and cry all at the same time. I am over joyed that I was able to be so close to Matt and to share so many memories and things with him. He was truly my best friend. I know he is still watching over me and helping me get through this time of my life. I feel him with me constantly and I know he is with all the people who love him. I have to live each day, one day at time and it is getting a little bit easier, but my heart still physically hurts when I look back on the day that I found out my best friend had died. I can do this I know I can! I miss you and love you Elder Matthew Lawrence Knoop.
New Years 2007!
I have the best friends in the world, we will all miss Matt and continue being the best friends.
This is exactly who Matt and I are.... DORKS! We had so much fun together at Utah State and I cherish that time I was able to spend with him everyday. We were punks and everyone knew it! Matt gave me that orange trucker hat the night before he left because he knew how much I hated it when he wore it. I still have it.
This picture is hilarious! This was our first USU Howl... Matt was Hugh Hefner and I was Daisy Duke, hahah the funny thing is Matt wouldn't normally be caught dead in this costume. He did save me all night long from the many creepers. He was always looking out for me.
I took this picture right before one of our intramural soccer games up at Utah State.... We were the only two good or should I say awesome players on the team! Matt was constantly yelling at me, but in the end was always amazed at my skills! He always forced me to work harder and do better and he still is!
I had the lucky opportunity to wear Matt's soccer number on my stomach at the state soccer finals (which they won)! He loved it! I think his mom took 20 pictures of just me and him hahah.... I always loved Matt's drive on the soccer field. All growing up his dad was our soccer coach and had the same drive, he taught me to have that drive and Matt just kept teaching me.
This was during our Senior trip to St. George... We all had a blast and to this day laugh about the events that occurred on this trip. This was on our hike of Angels Landing and on the way down Matt kept referring to the chain you hold on to as the Iron Rod... He was always setting an example no matter where we were or who we were with. That is how he left this world.
Matt hated taking pictures, but Liz and I insisted on him taking pictures of us at Seminary graduation. He is the reason we graduated. He always told us we had to go to Seminary!
Senior prom was the greatest... I remember the night before Matt locked Connor (my date) and I in a room to "make out" while he very "sneakily" tried to spy on us not making out from the bedroom window. He thought he was so hilarious! That is something I loved about him.
This is a picture of Matt and I at our Graduation Party, we sat next to each other basically for 4 days and I don't know if Matt could have taken it much longer, but I wouldn't have wanted to share that with anyone else, but him and I know he felt the same ha!

CHOP, CHOP
I am getting a hair cut this week or next hopefully and I need help picking between these two pictures that I like. I am leaning more towards the one of Nicole Richie, but my mother loves the one of Jenny Humphrey for those of you who love Gossip Girl like me, know her new hairstyle. Let me know what you think!
