The people I've grown up with. The people that have shaped me into the Kylee that I'm truly proud to be. And I am that girl because of my parents, my leaders, my teachers, Abbi Liddell, Hailey Fonda, Logan Wilson, McKel Woodbury, Kenzie Bailey, Austin Lyon and so many others.
To all my dear friends that have moved away to college or onto a mission... have so much fun. I love you all and I think about you all the time already. You guys are the greatest friends I'll ever have and I will always have your backs!
To my parents... I could never thank you enough. Thank you for the unconditional love and support. Thank you for letting me learn on my own. Thank you for helping me grow up. Thank you for giving me so many opportunities. Thank you for becoming my best friends.
To my brothers... Don't grow up too fast. Love your parents. Love your friends. Enjoy school, learning, reading, growing, meeting new people and being alive. Don't give up and don't do too many stupid boy things. Go outside and breath the fresh air. Don't forget to call once in awhile, because I love you guys so dang much. Thanks for putting up with my moods, attitude and endless teasing... You only tease the ones you love.
To Abbi... (here come the real tears, this has been the hardest 'see ya' yet...) "Growing up won't bring us down." "This is my oath to you: Where you go, just always remember that you got a home now and forever. And if you get low, just call me whenever..." Thank you for being the closest thing I've got to a sister. I know that my moving away won't change a thing between us.. If anything, we'll be better friends. Please come visit. Please always laugh and smile and love your life. Please don't forget the laughs, driving around with the sun roof open, singing at the tops of our lungs, CD exchanges, outfit texts every night before school, dance nights, 17 sleep overs in a row, spring break in Yuma, stupid boys and stories, crafts we'll never finish, The Maine concert, talking about our futures, all the drama, quotes, bucket lists, laying out, Montana, nail painting... These adventures will never end. They'll go on forever and we'll go on creating them. Thank you for never giving up on my craziness. You're a blessing in the lives of many and you're beautiful, PLEASE never forget it. Don't worry about the stupid boys now. Learn everything and read all the books. Stay unique and beautiful. Do what you love and don't let anyone question you.
To Logan... Thank you for helping me grow up. Thank you for teaching me to love myself and feel important and beautiful. Thank you for showing me what it feels like to be loved no matter what mistakes I make. Thank you for your patience and forgiveness. People don't understand us & I really don't mind because, my heavens, I've fallen madly in love with you. I can't wait to see what the future holds. You'll be amazing in Singapore and bless so many lives with your positive attitude and perfect smile. Don't forget to write!
To Hailey... You're the best example and friend I'll ever have. I want to be beautiful and strong and virtuous like you when I grow up. I could never thank you enough for putting up with me and sticking around. I can't wait to share this new college adventure with you. The good times will never end and I will always be around for you. I owe you that, at least. I love you!
I made it through this post with all the tears I had left... for today (; I am truly excited for this new adventure. I never thought it would be so hard to let go of some things and tell all the people I love that I'll see them in a few weeks or months. Good things are on their way, the best is yet to come and I can't wait to grow up a little bit more.
xoxo
