Sirach 6:14

"A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter; he who finds one finds a treasure." Sirach 6:14
This blog post is completely dedicated to the treasures/friendships I have found and built upon my first year in college.
First off: The Girls
Hanna, I could not have asked for a better roommate/friend. The late night talks we have had about Jesus truly show how blessed I am to have found you. Even though I'm a grandma and you're nocturnal; I've enjoyed every second of being your roommate.
Jessie, You're a mess. I love laughing at you hysterically whether it be because of your weird voices, inability to know song lyrics, or the silly comments you make. I'm so glad Jessica Dagata came up to my room the first few days of college because I can't imagine being here without you.
Billie Anne, I apologize for all the times I've called you Billie...even though I can't promise it won't happen again;) I'm completely obsessed with your sweet little voice but also your large heart for Jesus. I truly have enjoyed watching you and our friendship become stronger over the year.
Caylin, My very favorite dance partner. It's so crazy that God gave us such a blessing as to come to college together. I'm so proud to say you're still one of my best friends and we have been able to create such an amazing friend group together. You'll always be my sister.
^^^^^^^^^P.S: Cannot wait to live with you all next year <3 I love you more than words can say!
Abby, Aka: A Grib. I still am mad at myself for not becoming friends with you sooner. I cannot even tell you how much your insanely weird and random sense of humor has brightened my life. Besides that, you're also one of the most loving people I know. You're literally perfect to me.
Ashley, My inspirational High Tech. Your high pitched laugh literally makes me so happy. I've enjoyed watching you grow in your talent this year and getting to know you. I'm so blessed to have you by my side and I know that will continue next year as well as the future. P.S: From our first conversation about dance, I know you'd be one of my best friends here.

And who could forget: The Boys
Michael, Thank you for being my boyfriend's best friend. From the first time we hung out, I knew you were going to be an important part in Spin's and my life. You're one of the funniest bust also most loving guys I know. You have been the best roommate to Spencer and an incredible friend to me.
Andrew, Spin's partner in crime. I could not believe it when Spencer told me the guy beside him loved the Avett Brothers and played the banjo. I knew God planned for you guys to meet. Thanks for accompanying Spencer in his musical journey. Also, thanks for being the sweetest guy I know. You ALWAYS put a smile on my face!
Kenny, The baby goat. Thanks as well for being one of Spencer's best friends. I love your voice and am still waiting for my lullaby CD;) Thanks for making me tea when I'm sick and having randomly deep conversations with me. I'm sad you aren't going to be 5 minutes away next year ):
Spin, I kinda like you. I've enjoyed more than anything watching us grow separately and together this year. I cannot even explain to you what a blessing it is to have you here at my dream school with me. I also am so proud of you finding your niche in music this year. God has blessed you so much with an incredible group of friends and musicians. You know how much you mean to me, so I'll leave it at that :D

The biggest blessing of all is that these are only a few of the friends I've made here. I am so so happy to have met people who love each other and the Lord. All of these people constantly bring me up when I'm feeling down. I cannot wait to see how our friendships continue to grow over the next 3-4 years <3 Love you with all my heart!
