Twenty years old, wow. I will now reciprocate Rose's kind remarks she made for my birthday by writing some of my favorite memories of Rosemary.
- At age 8, she vowed she would never eat chocolate ever again. Ha.
- Once, while in Lake Powell, we were catching lizards and the one Rose was holding decided to jump on her, crawl under her life jacket, and scare the living daylights out of her. I've never seen anyone strip off their life jacket that fast or seen her that scared in my entire life.
- We were always extremely productive when we had homework/study sessions together. There were never times that we laughed so hard we couldn't breathe. ;)
- We never fight. We really don't. But one time we did. While on a double date. We both thought we were right and the other was wrong about the driving directions. We stopped at a gas station, Rose and I went in the bathroom and laughed our heads off about how stupid we were being. Our dates, on the other hand, who were still in the car, were probably contemplating if it was their chance to make a run for it.
- Skiing with Rose. Heard a scream. Turned around. Saw her sprawled like a flying squirrel in the snow, head faced downhill. She started shaking. Pretty sure she was laughing at herself. May have been the best fall I've seen Rose have.
- Tubed down a run at Snowbird at 11 pm, went way too fast for our own good, thought we were going to lose our lives, screamed bloody murder the whole way down, had a good laugh afterwards.
Rosemary has been the best friend anyone could ask for. Extremely loyal, loves you no matter what, patient, good listener, fun, sarcastic, talented, intelligent, athletic, best ski buddy, strong in the gospel, she has made me a better person. So thank you Rose, I'm looking forward to the future, it's going to be a blast!
Love,
Holly
