A little bit more about Brooke:
well I'm 19 and so is Ethan. Lived in Utah for about 7 years now and he has lived in Utah his whole live. I met my missionary in high school, we were both Sophomores. I did the boys basketball stats and he was on the team. To be honest I never really thought about him because he was in the "popular" group and I was not ha! He said he always had his eye on me and one day he got my number from a friend of his who I was kinda interested in. He texted me and I was just so excited. I thought he was so cute and sweet and couldn't believe a guy like him was interested In a girl like me! Ha we started hanging out and getting to know each other and it was all moving so quickly! We dated for 7 months when I thought i needed a change and to date new people (big mistake on my part). We ended up not talking for a year until I decided one day over Spring Break Junior year to drive by his house. Well sure enough he was there and completely saw me drive by ha! I thought I needed to text him and we began to talk again. We have been dating ever since and all together we've been together a little over 2 years but been best friends for 4 years. Best 4 years of my life!! He is the best decision I ever made!! Ive hurt him in the past and I regret that so much but now that I have him again I'm not letting him go!! He's mine forever!!:)



I think it's safe to say we all love Brooke! She is such a blessing to have on the group. She is always so kind to everyone! And she is BEAUTIFUL!
We love you Brooke! Thanks for letting us get to know you a little better! :)
