I could never thank my friends enough for all of the things they have gotten me through in high school. There are so many people I should thank, but the significance of these people stands out to me in this moment:
1. Teresa Godwin-
Teresa has not only been my youth group leader and Sunday school teacher for as long as I can remember, she's been a friend and inspiration to me when I needed it most. I haven't been attending church or youth group as much as I should be lately for a lot of reasons, but I know she is someone who will always be there for me. I am more than thankful for that. I <3 YOU!
2. Heather Newman-
The first thing I have to say about Heather is that there is NO ONE that gives better hugs than she does. She may be the sweetest, most caring person I know. I've talked to her about things that I couldn't talk to with anyone else. I trust her and she has always been there for me, even in my darkest moments. You're the best Heather. (:
3. Maren Mae-
Maren McNees gives the best advice. Seriously. She has helped me through boy issues, bad days, and everything else. We have a similar sense of humor and she can seriously make me laugh for hours on end. We have about a thousand inside jokes and if I ever needed anyone to cheer me up, I'd go to her first. I think we may even have our own language? I love you Mar (:
4. Lauren Krogman-
Well, I don't remember when Lauren and I became friends but we're pretty tight. We're sarcastic and we really sometimes hate each other but not really. She can cheer me up and well we both suck at math and Spanish so I never feel alone. Thanks for always bein there Lauren, love ya. (:
5. Lexi Allen-
Hahahahaha is all I can say to describe our relationship. Lex supports my decisions and it seems like we always have the same opinions on things. This year we've become closer than we ever have been. I'm so thankful that she stuck out choir with me. Lexi might be the funniest girl I know and I love her for that. LOVE YA LEX. (:
6. Lisa Gearheart-
Lisa and I have a bond that I can't even explain. We just GET each other, and we always have. She is always there for me. We vent to each other like no one's business. I can talk to Lisa about ANYTHING, and I admire her for her strength and intelligence. Lis I love you, and you are truly a best friend to me.
7. Haley Wright-
Haley and I have grown apart since our freshman year, but I'll never forget all of the memories we've made. She's always been there for me and I know that even today if I needed her, she would be there. My mom loved Haley like she was my sister, and I know she's looking down on the both of us. I love and miss you Haley.
8. Sierra Smith-
Things happened over the past year that forced us to grow apart, but I will always love Sierra like a sister. We've laughed and cried our way through middle school and high school together. Sierra understood things about me that no one else could, and we built a trust that will never be broken. I'll always love you Sierra, and I hope you know that I'm always here.
9. Monica Witzman-
Monica has been my best friend for as long as I can remember. I don't think we've ever been mad at each other besides the time I blew her off in 6th grade. We have the funniest relationship, and I tell her everything. She probably knows more about me than anything, and I even know what she orders at McD's. When we hang out, we don't even have to do anything. We always end up laughing about something, even if there's nothing to laugh about. I'll always love you gurl, and I hope we will always be as close as we are now. (:
10. Alicyn Reimer-
Even though we don't see each other very often, I consider Ali one of my best friends. She's pretty much been my role model since I was born, even when she was going through her boy stage. She is always honest with me and I know she would never judge me. She makes me laugh harder than anyone else and well, we're just weird. It runs in the family. I LOVE YOU CUZ.
11. Lindsay Landgraf-
What would I do without my sister? We get mad at each other and we argue and we overreact, but I wouldn't want it any other way. My sister has turned into someone that I could never, ever live without. It seems like we get closer and closer every year. Even though she lives across the country, we find ways to stay close. Lindsay, you're my best friend and I couldn't ask for a better big sister. I love you so much.
12. Lillie Zablocki-
Where to start? Lillie and I's friendship really started after my mom passed away. This being said, she has always understood my feelings. No one gets our sense of humor but us. Seriously, no one. It's ugly sometimes. I've never cried in front of any of my friends more than I have Lillie. I trust her more than anyone in the entire world. I can't imagine my life without her or her family. It's safe to say we are pretty much sisters, and I can't thank her enough for all she has done for me. Even if college takes us in completely opposite directions, I know we will always be best friends. I love you more than you know, Lill. You're the best. <3 <3 <3.
