The Maid of Honor; Kelly Cruchett
Meet Kelly one of my most treasured friends. I moved into her aunts rental when I was one years old, she lived right up the street. We had a tea party and the rest is history. Her family is family, we have had countless of our holidays conjoined and countless trips together. Not a day ever went by that we did not see each other or speak to each other. We have done just about everything together, laughed together, cried together. She has been there for every single important moment in my life and I cannot imagine not having her by my side on my wedding day. We have been to countless concerts, camping, random road trips and none have ever been a bad experience. We went on countless valentines day dates out of spite of not ever being in relationships. We manage to have pizza on national pizza day annually. We have fun everywhere we go and can find good in all we do. Kelly does not care if her opinions differentiate from others, she embraces them. She has been to Haiti and has helped Haitian orphans find happiness. She an aspiring writer and loves journalism. She loves to write, which will really come in handy when she has to write a speech for the reception, it is now the public speaking she must work on. She is so accomplished for a seventeen year old girl, she is nothing but the perfect maid of honor.
Meet Amanda Reber
Now this is Amanda, the short spunky one of the bunch. I met Amanda in the third grade at Starbucks this was before Starbucks was cool, we go way back. When we met I did not really expect much of it we just hung out because we were the only kids at Starbucks. I remember she ordered a Chocolate Chip Frap and I remember thinking her order was so much more sophisticated than my simple hot chocolate. We did not continue the friendship until she switched to my school and on the bus we realized we live on the same road and shared the same bus stop. Everyday after school she stayed at my house until her mom made her go home and when she did I came with her. We were always together, and it was not until we realized we also go to the same church every Sunday that we realized this friendship was really meant to be. We had very active imaginations and often I wish I could go back to the state we were when we were together, it was like we were in a different world. Now we are too old to ever understand that imagination we had. We played many games, we made chalk civilizations, played Cowboys versus Indians, played Pirate War in the pool and there was even a time we were convinced we were both mermaids. (It is no wonder why we are both such great swimmers.) I can't say all the games we made up because many of them are hard to understand in words and this will just become a plethora of inside jokes only Amanda would understand. Amanda too, has always been an amazing writer. She is the most honest and trustworthy friend I have. She is now an amazing volleyball player and off to college in the Fall. She has accomplished many things and always will be, I cannot imagine a life without her, and I cannot wait to have her as a bridesmaid!
Meet Elisa Ibarra
This is Elisa we met later in life, but immediately became soul mates. We met at Girls Camp, the best place on earth. She was put into my tent at last minute, and I thank Heavenly Father for that. At first the people in my tent did not like her, being judgmental at the new girl in the tent, typical. But soon we grew a great bond. We found out we would both be starting at the same middle school in the following school year, and we were super excited to have a Mormon friend at school! When the school year started Elisa and I became best friends, we went to after school program every single day and had so much fun. We were seriously insane when we got together and not like hyper insane, like we would talk to ourselves insane. We bring out this weird personality in each other that only comes out when we are together. In high school we had P.E together both years and most of our memories involve us being sweaty, moving and normally talking while being out of breath. We have many funny memories of hitting our heads on the locker door and other ridiculous things that happen in the locker room. We used each others socks, deodorant and hair ties all the time. We always went into the locker room hunched over from cracking up about something nobody else would ever understand. Elisa and I have a bond that I have never had with anyone before. As soon as we get together we flip into a new universe and we always worry for a moment if people think we are legally insane. She is an amazing runner and I don't know how I survived P.E being her running buddy. She going to go big places, she is such an amazing athlete. I cannot imagine never meeting her and I am so happy she will be a bridesmaid at my wedding. I know one day we will be hunched over and cracking up at our crazy behavior on earth whilst making more ridiculous memories in the eternities.
Sarina Bivins
Meet Sarina, yes Bivins, yes she is my sister. Yes, that is an adorable baby photo of me and a young Sarina. We really do not have many pictures of just her and I, there is always a kid in the photo or something, but that will change at the wedding. Sarina has been a really good sister, we have had our ups and downs as they all do but she has been there in the hard times. We have had so many good times and most them include shopping. She is a wonderful mother to three adorable children whom I love like my own. She has been through many hard trials in this life and continues to but she always rises to the top and I admire her for the strength that she has. If it were not for her I would not know all the words to many old school raps songs, I would not have ever been scared of monsters under my bed and nobody would ever tell me if my make-up is not my color. She is an honest, hardworking woman who practices tough love and is compassionate as well. She is also a genius, her mind is very powerful and she is amazing at math. I do not think she knows just how talented she is yet, but the day will come and her talent will smack her right in the face. I cannot imagine my wedding day without her there.
Kasarah Carlson
Kasarah is also my sister, we have grown up together and I was a bridesmaid in her wedding! She was always a pretty good example she always got me to eat my carrots and obey the rules. She always vacuumed the house and it made my mother very happy because she did it so well. She is very hard working in everything she does and has a really good work ethic. She loves what she does and she is not afraid to tell you if she hates something either! She hates reading! Shes an amazing cupcake maker and one day will open her own cupcake farm, yes a cupcake farm that is how perfect they are. She and her husband like to play video games and have a huge collection making their house very fun for binge gaming. She has always had really horrible allergies and so we understand each others great pain. Believe it or not she has always enjoyed metal music, but she does not look that hardcore? Well just a few years back she had her whole head bleached with colorful hair. Did I also mention she is pregnant with a little girl named Kaddison and will be having the baby a month before the wedding but still agreed to be a bridesmaid? She is amazing!
Laurel Sota
Laurel is also my sister. She has always been a protective older sister and she sure showed it when I began dating Dustin. Now that she has approved, I am so happy she will be a bridesmaid in the wedding. She has always been such a great example of what a good wife and mother are. She is very family oriented and loves to research family history. She is really smart and opinionated. She owns a bakery and has always supplied us generously with delicious cake on every special occasion. I admire the love she has for the family. She is a grandma of one cute little girl, Sophia! I will always remember the fun we had at Laurels house growing up. I will always remember hearing her jingle her keys and we would fret it s time for her to leave. I am so excited for her to be a part of this big day!
Drea Cruchett
Drea is Kelly's older sister and practically mine too. We all know she will one day rule the world. She always kept us out of trouble growing up. She is the protective one who pushes education and self determination. She is an avid example of where it gets you, she is graduating college this May with a degree in teaching. She is going to teach special needs children and I know she will make a huge difference in this world for them. I admire her work ethic and aspire to have the same kind of ethic in my schooling. She will always be the loving protective older sister. She would take Kelly and I on adventures all the time when she got her license and treated us like her friends. As we got older we went on many adventures and road trips. Often Kelly and I visit her at her college for a get away! She is super organized and an amazing planner and I am sure she is assisting Kelly, the maid of honor in her plans. She must use her talent! I do not know who else will shove clam chowder down my throat while telling me to enjoy the beach but also get an education. I cannot imagine not having her as a bridesmaid, and I can trust she will make sure everything goes as planned.
Rose Batistich
This is Rose, we do not have any pictures together yet because I have only know her as long as I have know my fiance Dustin. She will be my new sister! I absolutely love her already! She is a free spirit who is very outgoing and fun! She is so spontaneous! She is wonderful with animals and amazingly talented in caring for them. She is very fun to talk to and has very strong opinions! She knows how to hold her ground and I really admire that about her. She is witty and funny! Not to mention she has the most beautiful dog I have ever seen. She emulates sunshine and happiness! She is very sweet and seems to have such good honest intentions in everything she does. She is capable of more than she knows and is off to big things! She is a very talented girl and I am excited to make memories with her over the years! I am excited for our first big memory, when she was one of my bridesmaids!
