Wow, this year we've grown so much closer. It's amazing how our friendship has grown. All the talks after choir practice or just talking after church. We just always had a great time talking and you were always right there when I needed you to be no matter what it was. Thank you so much for that one nite when you drove me home from choir and we talked for like ever! It meant a lot to me that you took time out to listen to me, and that you tried to understand and help me. Then we had a great time at your house for Memorial day... that was lots of fun! It was so nice and relaxing. It was just nice to be able to chill with you and Shante and crew. lol. I wouldn't have traded that for anything! Then we chilled at Ephrana's graduation party and the 4th of July picnic and that Mary Kay thing at your house. We've just had some pretty amazing memories. Like making a double dutch rope! Lol. People thought we were crazy!! I secretly think we were though. =) Whenever you're not at choir or I don't hear from you I really do miss you. You have become a pretty big part of my life. I don't know what I would do without you around. We should chill a lot more often. Oh yeah and thanks for coming to my All Shore Concert. That meant the world to me that you came out to support me. =) Thank you for everything you have done. You have been so supportive and just amazing. I really do cherish our friendship a lot. I love ya sweetie... and when I go to college I'm gonna miss you like crazy but we'll still keep in touch. Maybe if I come back and visit we can chill.

I'll never forget the first nite I met you. It was my very first choir practice and I had just left my old church the day before. I had no clue how I was gonna fit in here at Calvary but I knew I needed to start with the choir. And praise God that I did! You were the first person to really be nice to me. I remember coming home and telling Mom about this really cool lady who talked to me and made me feel like I belonged. Then there was the choir barbeque that Saturday and again you made me feel like I was part of the choir already and I'd just begun to sing in it. You made me feel special and I think you were probably my first friend here at Calvary.
Since then you kind of were just there for me and stuck by me. When some of the other sopranos would pick on me or question me you would always help me out. When I would get discouraged you always noticed that I was down. You were always the first one there to make me smile or just listen to me vent so I wouldn't explode. Somehow you always knew how to make me feel better. Then there was the cantata... lol. So many memories were packed into that little show. So much time and effort... but it was all worth it right? I remember how you always kept me encouraged about singing too... even when I could swear to you that I sounded awful you would end up convincing me that I sounded perfectly fine. lol. But it was all good! We had tons of fun. =)
