Thanks for coming to church with me that one Sunday. It meant a lot to me knowing that you were there for me. I'm so glad we got to sing together (our lil' group). It was so much fun and I feel so honored that you guys let me sing with you. Thanks for much for just being there for me. People used to always try to be there for me but never could. And now I've got one of the awesomest friends ever who I know will always truly be there for me. It is just so amazing that I am even friends with you because I definitely don't deserve a friend like you. You're so kind, loving, and have such a big heart. Your fire and zeal for God inspire and encourage me. And anytime I need to be "picked up" I know I can always turn to you. Somehow you always manage to make me smile no matter what else is going on, which I think is utterly amazing. You are one of my best friends and I'm so glad that God has allowed me to come to this church and to be friends with you. I could never ask for a better friend and I know that there are going to be so many more memories that I shall cherish forever.. and many more secrets shared. I love you sweetie... and keep on pressing toward the mark of the high calling!

Well, girl there is so much I could say but words can never express how much your friendship has meant to me. In the beginning it was rough for me. The first youth group meeting you made me feel so accepted. But unfortunately after that it took a bit of time for us to actually become friends. There is one thing I remember. I knew I had seen you at choir and stuff and so you knew me sort of from that and youth group. When we went "laser tagging" Mama Tuech introduced you to me and I'll never forget you saying that you knew me already and that we were friends. Since then my hopes picked up.

Since all that though we've had nothing but fun. Like when we did the braids together and you even did mine, which was so cute! Then there was that sleepover we had at the Matteucci's house. That was so much fun and I got to know you better. Of course there were lots of random talks here and there at choir, youth group, etc. Convention rocked! I'm so glad that I got to bring you (and Vanessa too.). It definitely wouldn't have been the same without you. Then there was all those practices for the cantata... and the actual thing. And the Kirk concert! How much did that rock? It was mad tight, right? I know I had fun chillin' with you guys whether there was a concert or not. New Years Eve was a blast too. What fun that was... and oh man... you guys totally blew me away when you came to my house at quarter to 11 to give me my b-day/Christmas present(s)! That was crazy and you guys totally outdid yourselves.
