Women of Faith

There are so many people in my life that I look up to, that without, I wouldn't be in the place I am now. Most of them are the women in my life.

My Mom: Has amazing strenth that I draw on a lot in my life. She is my best friend. Sam Page is an amazing women. She is always trying to be better and she teaches by example more than she realizes. I would not be the woman I am today without her

My Grandma Shirley: What a wise woman. Whenever I need advice I go staight to her. She has been through a lot in life and always has something to give. She is the most giving person I know and doesn't think twice about giving what she doesn't have to others. She'll cook a gormet meal and get no thanks for it other than it was devoured by everyone in the room and that's all she needs. And she makes the best dinner rolls hands down :)

My best Friend Sara Hansen: Man have we been through a lot but no matter what she has always been there for me. She is the kindest person I know and always has a smile on her face and knows what to say to help me feel better. She'll call just to say hi and its always an answer to prayers. No one has a bigger heart than her.

Melissa Henrie: What an incredible woman. She is strong and faithful no matter what comes her way and is always trying harder to be better. She faces the music with a smile on her face and a bring-it-on attitude that I admire tons. She lights up a room and has a sense of humor that can make any Scrooge crack a grin. No matter what's going on in life she is happy and loving and always willing to give.

Teigan Benson: What a woman. She's beautiful. She's loving. She's talented. She has a good fashion sense. She's letting me use her wedding dress (sometime VERY far in the future). And she's the cutest little mom I've ever seen! I look up to her SO much and wish very much that her and her cute family lived here in Utah. She's always willing to lend a listening ear no matter what and always knows what to say to help you feel better about life. She is a Scoffield to the T and I hope when I grow up I can be more like her.

Heidi Madsen: One of my first roommates at Oakcrest LDS girl's camp and I must say I was VERY intimidated by her when I first met her. But what an incredible woman. She has by far the kindest heart of anyone I know. I was also very priviledged to teach a class with her our second year and loved every minute! She is amazing and whenever I think about how I what I want my husband and family to be like, her little family always comes to mind. She is giving, loving and the most Christ-like person I know.

Emily Pugh: We didn't get along at first but after spending a summer together as Crafties at Oakcrest we realized we are WAY more alike than we thought and our lives followed very similar patterns. We liked the same shows growing up (most of which NO ONE else could remember but us...including Alex Mack), we like the same foods, and our dating lives have been way similar. One day I will find my Zack Pugh after getting over my Bret West. I was very sad to have that summer end and not have Liberty there at my side 24/7. I definitly went through withdrawals. I look up to her a lot and she is always there for me. Especially when she knew I needed ice cream and a good talk. I love her tons!

Hailey Jones: Otherwise known as the infamous Goosey. What an incredible woman! She has a smile on her face no matter what! Her attitude about life is one that I have tried hard to adopt! She is such a strong woman no matter what life throws her way. She truly is amazing! I remember her ALWAYS being there for me through the tough times at Oakcrest. What a great friend!

Katie Hansen: Probably my most favorite cousin ever. Even though there is an almost 8 year age difference between us we are way close. She lets me come play with her kids, knows when I need to talk and when I don't, knows when I need a night out, or just a place to crash. And she is a phenomenal cook! I look up to her so much and she is an incredible example to me! She is an amazing mom and I hope one day when I have kids that I will be half the mom that she is!

These are just a few of the women in my life that I look up to. What amazing examples I have in my life and I hope that I can be half the woman that they are. I am so grateful for all the examples that I have in my life and I want each and every one of you to know that I love you. Even if you aren't specifically named either...know that I love you and look up to you! Thank you all for being there for me and for being the strong Women of Faith that you are!
