right back at you.

H, 
i freakin love you. you don't know how happy i am to hear that. (errr...read that...).
i feel so incredibly blessed to know you and be your friend. 
i don't know how to do the cool pictures on the side/between the text, so this is the next best thing haha.

our meeting was definitely was not a coincidence; but part of God's perfect and amazing plan. i honestly don't know what i would do without you. who would i complain, vent, and cry to? i can't count all the times that i've done these and you've been right there, always willing and ready to listen and hear me out.
i am always always always here for you : i hope you don't EVER forget that.

and i'm so grateful that you're here for me too - i appreciate that more than you know.
thank you for introducing me to new things too; you turned me from a tswift hater into a lover. you've re-newed my love for the script, and introduced me to tyrone, brendan, and jason. [looove them ;]

your positive attitude is so encouraging to me; it's contagious. whenever i'm feeling upset or down, i can count on you to completely turn around my attitude and outlook. we can always laugh about something or make a joke out of it - and i love you for that.

we have so much in common; it's ridiculous. our sisters both went here, our brothers went to point loma, we're born one day apart, we have the same shoe size, our dad's names rhyme....shoot, i could go on and on. i've never met anyone that is that much like me; and while at times it scares me, i am so thankful i know you and that we can grow from our differences as well.
hope, you are like my sister. my twin even! ;)
once again; thank you for everything. for listening to me, for encouraging me, for laughing with me, for crying with me, and for being you.
here's to many more years of us!
love love love you!!

time to dust things off.

wow it's been a while since i've used this blog! i actually forgot about it for so long i had to go run into your room to remember the password!! well i've been meaning to write to you for a while but just never get around to it, i apologize. but i figured its time to dust off all the dust this old thing is collecting and give it a new post.

so i just wanted to say thank you and tell you all that you mean to me so here i go :)

THANK YOU SO INCREDIBLY MUCH.
you honestly have no idea how blessed i feel to not only have met you but to be able to call you my friend. you are most definitely my bestest friend here at college and seattle and i wouldn't trade that for the WORLD.

thank you sooo much for bringing me so much joy and comfort while i have been here. thank you for always being my shoulder to cry on through my many, many rough patches. i honestly can't imagine what i would have done if i couldn't run across the hall and tell you everything about my life situations. you are a tremendous friend, so loving and kind. i am grateful that you are here for me at any hour and always willing to comfort me in my weakest of times. not only that but you celebrate with me during my triumphs as well! you are just all around amazing and i am soooo incredibly grateful and thankful for your beautiful self.
thank you for being selfless and listening to me chat on and on for hours and hours about nothing. thank you for your honesty and loyalty. i know i can tell you anything and you will keep it to your self. i only hope that you can trust me the same way.  thank you for being my best friend!!

i can go on and on but that would just be me rambling more than i already have. i simply just wanted to say that i cherish everything about you. the laughs, the memories, and the tears we have shared. i will never forget any of them! ever. i pray that this is only the beginning of our journey here together. i thank the lord for providing me with someone so similar yet different in my life. it has been an adventure this year with you and like i said i pray it only continues. so once again thank you and know that i love you. i admire you and your strength. you are a beautiful woman my little birkybirk. cheers to you and cheers to us.


all my love forever and ever.
