I was just looking at pictures on Facebook and blogs, and I was just thinking about how grateful I am for my friends. I didn't realize when I was younger, how these 4 amazing girls would influence my life 10 years later. I just want to tell them how much they mean to me, and how much they have influenced my life.Camie - You have always taught me how to be confident in myself. You were such an example to me that I decided to play volleyball because I wanted to do something fun with you. You have taught me not to care what other think of me, but to love life, and to love who I am. Finally, you have taught me how to be a great friend.
Jamie - Your sweet sweet personality has taught me how to love people for who they are. You have taught me how to see the good in people and situations. You have taught me how to laugh, when facing sadness. Finally, you have taught me how to be a good friend.
Jodie - You have taught me how to care and how to love. You have taught me how to see the importance in every individual I see. Seeing the importance in people take a special person....that special person is you. Finally, you have taught me how to be a good friend.
Jenessa - Last but definitely not least. You have always been more "grown up" and "mature" then me. :-) You have taught me how to be able to act "grown up" and look towards the future, but be able to laugh until I cry, and be silly like a child. Your testimony is so sweet and pure, and has touched me. Finally, you have taught me how to be a good friend.
My friends have taught me many more things that I cannot find the words to express. They have all taken their unique personality and made me the person I am today. I know that my life would be so different without them. I didn't realize when I was younger how lucky I was to find 4 amazing friends. I have realized over the past 10+ years how lucky and blessed I am. And the best part is.....Now that we are all married, I know that our relationship, because we have proved them wrong up until now, and I know we will always prove them wrong. I love you girls!
