"My Life Would Suck Without You!"

I leave for CHINA tomorrow! Oh my heavens I am starting to freak out a little bit! Still very excited though and hardly nervous at all. I can FINALLY say that I am at least moderatly packed at this point (which is good because my mom has been saying all day it's today or never!)

In all of my getting ready to go, there's 1 person I've been talking with a lot, and been thinking about alot. Ericka Shauntel Ahleen (that's really her real middle name!)

Ericka was my first ever roommate, my first friend in St. George and one of my closest friends still. I LOVE HER! She has always been there for me! From crazy nights driving around jamming to music, to talking for hours through the night, breakdowns in the laundry room, crazy roommates, pranking mama Jewels, and EVERYTHING in between, she's awesome for me! She's taught me a LOT and I've been able to talk to her about anything and everything that nobody else knows. I honestly think that she is one of the biggest reasons I was supposed to go down there this year. And a special thanks to her family for taking me as one of their own this year! Here's some of the things that I've loved, things I associate with her, and good times we've had. And at the end there's a small photo gallery, but keep in mind I have HUNDREDS of pictures with her!

-CHER
-"That was fun, let's do it again in DECEMBER!"
