Letters...

Happy Tuesday! Here is a continuation of my letters to people who I've been close to throughout high school.

Dear Chris,
  You are the only brother-in-law I have ever had, so I guess you are a good one, considering I don't really have anything to compare you with. I'm kidding, you have been a great brother-in-law to me, and also Spencer, almost like a real brother. I remember meeting you for the first time at Amsterdam Cafe, and Ragan going with me to the bathroom and asking what I thought of you. I told her I liked you a lot and that you were cuter than the last boyfriend. My opinion of you has not changed much, especially on the first part, I still like you a lot and am thankful that you are part of our family.

P.S. I didn't forget about you in the last one, I simple wanted to make you wait in suspense to see what I would say about you!
P.P.S. Writing this has made me come to the realization that we have ZERO pictures together.


Dear Catherine,
   Getting to know you throughout this year has made me feel really old. I remember when I was the assistant in your ballet class when you were like eight years-old. But you have come a long way since then and you are turning into a beautiful dancer and a beautiful person. You have no idea how much I have loved getting to know you this year, it has made me want to be a better person, and a better example and leader at dance, and it has encouraged me to see your desire for God. You remind of my seventh grade self so much, which is both good and funny. Middle school is tough, awkward, and looking back it's the time that I made so many hilarious memories that I still laugh about. I will really miss you next year, but don't think I'm going to leave you alone, we will still talk a lot. I love you!

Dear Cary,
   It's amazing how close you can get to someone in just two days at Reunion. But I am so thankful that we became legit friends back in January. You will never know how much your friendship means to me and how big of an encouragement you are to me all the time. I love our awkwardness and our funny talks about magic bullets and pizza the size of my steering wheel. But most importantly, I love your desire for God, and how being a bystander in God's will is not good enough for you. You encourage me to be more passionate for the Lord and to be an example of a godly woman for you and for others. I love you!
