"It is one of the
blessings
of
old friends
that you can
afford to be
stupid
with them."

The past weeks events (none of huge consequence, mostly just everyday happenings that for whatever reason I paid a little more attention to) have led to some rather serious reflections on the people I choose to associate with. These reflections have led to one big conclusion: it turns out I have great associations, and quite a bit to be greatful for by way of those who provide me commradory.
So here it is...an ode to friends, a special shout out, a deep thank you to those whom I call
FRIEND.
Top seven reasons I love my friends:
1. Laughter. All of the ridiculous laughter.
2. 6 am, grape eating crabs, and a life guard stand (if it dosn't apply move on to number three).
3. For indulging me as I discuss the horrors of politics, and my anger with the world. (I can't imagine how old it gets listening to me, but you all do it so well anyways =))
4. For seeing past my sometimes social awkwardness, and all of my many shortcomings to enjoy my company anyways.
5. For supporting me in my quest to try everything dipped in chocholate.
6. For enjoying everything dipped in chocholate with me.
7. For being such plesant and wonderful reminders of so many principles of the gospel (charity, kindness, patience, faith), and really motivatiog me to be a better person.
"Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together"

Heather my dear,
I have to take the time to tell you what a wonderful friend and example that you have been in other lives and especially in mine. I could not have asked for a better roomate. Whether we were raiding the freezer for icecream (because there was always five kinds in there) or just talking about anything and everything (hours, such good memories) you are the definition of "good association". We may not be as close as we were (we don't live together anymore) BUT I will always cherish the time we lived together. You kept me strong emotionally and spiritually and you probably didn't even know it. Lot's of love Heather Goode, here's to you! :D
Well thank you Mrs. Sizemore! I drove down Baymeadows the other day and seriously got a little misty when I passed Bently Green. =) Thanks for being so tolerant and wonderful for that year! Even though Im pretty sure that apartment was haunted, and you started my addiction to mountain dew, and it's a miracle our drug lord neighbor didn't shoot us, and Im not really sure how we survived off of Mountain Dew and ramen for the entire year! It was still a wonderful time, and I wouldn't trade it for anything!! =)
