Blessed with the best

In friendship...we think we have chosen our peers. In reality a few years' difference in the dates of our births, a few more miles between certain houses, the choice of one university instead of another...the accident of a topic being raised or not raised at a first meeting--any of these chances might have kept us apart. But, for a Christian, there are, strictly speaking no chances. A secret master of ceremonies has been at work. Christ, who said to the disciples, "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you," can truly say to every group of Christian friends, "Ye have not chosen one another but I have chosen you for one another." The friendship is not a reward for our discriminating and good taste in finding one another out. It is the instrument by which God reveals to each of us the beauties of others.”  C.S Lewis
 


                                                Thankful for the beautiful memories.
There's nothing like Franny's bible study. 


 "A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself"

There's nothing quite like county fair friends. 

You each have a place in my heart.

With you, its different. and I like different.

Summer girls with summer hair and laughter in the air. 

                                            If you love the water, I love you.
 When you smile, I'll smile.

       You're beautiful, every little piece, love. don't you know you're really going to be someone ask anyone. .
laughter is the best medicine.




Because I knew you, I have been changed for good. 




Love.





When people are being real with each other, not hiding behind their masks and self pride it is such a beautiful, beautiful thing. 

"...don't look down on anyone because they are young"








                                                                  Swag.

























We're one in the same, anything but ordinary.

I could  stand by you till we're one-hundred and two.
