Goodbyes...

Okay...so it's time for the thing that EVERYONE hates the most. Come on...you know it's true...we ALL hate saying goodbye. So yea...I figured that the best way to say goodbye to everyone is just by writing a little something something in my blog. haha So yea...here goes...

Liz: Wow hun...we have so many crazy and funny memories and I can't possible tell you how much you mean to me. I love you so much! It is going to be so sad when we tomorrow comes and we say our last goodbyes. You have truly made this year interesting. You were like my mom away from home. You kept me company on the weekends and you always kept me in check. I am so thankful to have you as a friend and I just want to tell you that I love you so much and I hope you have a great summer and when you get to that great big public school you have the best time of your life! I love you girl!

Ari: Honey...my parents always told me that when I got to Trevecca I needed to become friends with you. Not sure why but they did. ;) lol You have been a great friend and I am so happy that I got the opportunity to get to know you. You have a great future ahead of you. Always remember that the only limits you have are the ones you make for yourself. You can do and be whatever you choose to be. I love you so much! Thank you for such a great year!

Holly: Sweetie, you really are the model of the South! You have the look and the accent. I am so happy that you walked into my life and we became friends. We have had so many great times together and I know you will make something of yourself! Don't ever give up! With God all things are possible! I love hun!

Colton: Wow...we haven't known each other for a while but getting to know you has been one of the best things this past year. Thank you so much for the great talks at 2am while I was trying to sleep. My body can't thank you enough. haha Please continue to keep Jamie in check while I am gone. She needs someone like you. She is a little messed up in the head! haha Thanks for a great goodbye party. You are an amazing person! I love you! Have a great summer!

Alyse: hahaha...You have truly been a great friend! We have always used each other as "escapes" from our roommates and I can't possibly thank you enough. You have been such a fantastic friend. I am REALLY going to miss you! I wish you and David the best of luck. Also...good luck in the farming business. Please keep in touch! I love you sweetie!

New York: WOW. That is all. :) hahahahahaha Also..."MORE OVALTINE PLEASE!!!!" I love you girl!

and last but not least...

Jamie: You are my best friend. I am going to miss you...all the great times we have had. All the secrets we have shared and all the "we just got closer" moments. Those are memories I will never forget. You have grown so much this year. And because of you I have grown. You have taught me so much and I am so thankful for that. Saying goodbye to you will be the hardest thing I have to do this year. I hope you have a great time at Union. Figure out what you want to do and try not to change your major so much. ;) I love you. I wouldn't be who I am if it weren't for you. You are such a great person and I know that whatever friends you make in the future are very lucky. Everyone always says "Don't change." when they say their goodbyes...but I don't want to say that...I want to say "change. Do what God wants. Let Him change you...He knows what is best." Also, while you are at Union...and something goes wrong (and face it...it's you...something WILL go wrong) always know you can call me. I will always be around to give you my famous "here is what you gotta do" speeches. I will also send you pictures of my "I think you are making a bad decision" look. God has so much in store for you. He is going to use you and it's going to be great. I know this because He is already doing it. He used you to help me. You really have changed my life. I love you. And always remember...don't be stupid! hahahahaha


Okay...that is all I got. If I forgot you then I am really sorry. So many people have helped change me this year that there is no way I could write everyone a message. Just know that I love all of you and I thank you! You will continue to be in my prayers. Be safe! And always trust God. I hope all of you have a great summer!

God Bless,
