h o m e : friends

Another amazing part of being home was the opportunity I had to spend time with some of my greatest friends! These are just some of the people that have been so amazing and supportive during this part of my life, and I always love being reunited with them.

As I have explained (a billion times) I didn't have as much time as I had wanted/needed with these chums of mine; and there were some (namely my Channing girls) that I didn't get to see at all. Which I hated. BUT. Three short months :)

There were moments like this with MarfaMarf. 

And that one time that the beautiful Cydney Allen was ay MY HOME WARD barbecue.

There was a bit of a cheeky Starbucks date

I was reunited with my old roommate Jamie who just happens to be serving in my home stake!

This is what I looked like after I said goodbye to Cydney for an indefinite time period. Not happy. Literally crying.

This is Ari!!! Making her Brit Journal debut which is completely ridiculous seeing as we've been pretty much best friends since 2003. She graduated from uni this summer, got a job and her own apartment in the middle of the city. What the heck. SO COOL. Ahh it was so good being reunited with her and having the chance to run around the city being a grown up. 

Chazza made me slave away for two days. So that was fun.

That's not true at all!! I was so happy to be reunited with this woman! Seriously one of the greatest people on the face of the planet!! Seriously. 

Eliza. nuff said. How much do I honestly love this woman. Who is now in uni! UNI.

What the weird. We hit up the Covent Garden branch of Five Guys, who is usually the death of me seeing as they cook in peanut oil, BUT I just heard that they only do that with their fries. Good. MickyDees do the best fries anyway. fact.

AANNND I saw this sweet girl!! Sophie has been living in London now for a year! How crazy that three years ago we were living there together and weren't friends until we were in Rexburg, Idaho. But she seems to be thriving in that beautiful city of ours. Also WHAT A BABE.

There you have it. Those were LITERALLY all of the photos that I took wherein I was just hanging out with my friends. These all happened in the space of the week that I was home and not studying ha! 

but like I said, there was so much that I wish I had been able to do, and people that I had genuinely wanted to spend time with! Hopefully all of this can be corrected this December.
