Heidi Anna Roper Macey
After Christmas on the 28th I flew to Utah for Heidi's wedding on the 29th. She was married to Bobby Macey in the Draper temple at 9am. I went to her hair appointment with her at 6 in the morning! (I will never get married before noon!) 
Heidi has been my roommate since January 2007 and completed our little friend trio with Kelsey (who is now serving in the Philippines). I'm really missing them this semester!
I've met tons of people in the last few years- roommates, acquaintances, study buddies, friends from the ward... etc. Its interesting how all these people come and go and I don't give it a second thought. But there are those rare few that stick. Heidi stuck. Why? Because we love all the same things? No. I like shopping. She dreads it. She loves to read. I'd rather Sparknotes or watch the movie. Chocolate: I say milk she says dark. She wakes up at 5 to ponder the mysteries, I drag out of bed at 10, annoyed by the existence of morning.... The list goes on. But the friendship has turned into a deep, unique love that is more of a sisterhood. Its kind of undefinable.
Maybe it happened over time as we laughed ourselves to sleep in the same twin bed, or ran a half-marathon together or prayed and fasted for one another's well being or ate too many heath blizzards and had to go on a no-sugar diet, or pulled each other through emotional messes or bickered about dumb things, or stressed over boys or carried each other's burdens and felt deeper pain for one another than we did for ourselves, or maybe it was all the times I felt understood and loved even when I was being ridiculous. Anyway, I can't describe the ways I've loved being Heidi's roommate. Here are some pictures from her happy happy day!
