I was looking at lyndsey's blog the other day and she had this part where she listed a whole bunch of people and then thanked each one. which i thought was cool, and then i thought my life must suck cause i couldn't think of anyone to thank. and then i realized that was selfish. like way selfish.
and then i saw connor's site today and he kinda did something similar. so i was suddenly feeling like, hm, i should do that sometime on my site. but, not today because i have a really cool post about france and how they suck militarily.
and then i checked my email. My great-uncle, Lewis Roe, who I have never met, died this morning. I got kinda teary eyed for about thirty seconds. and then it hit me that i don't know my great uncle. although, as a part of my family, and a part of the body of christ, it does concern and affect me.
anyway, i decided I'm going to do a cool post and thank people. even if it doesn't turn out too cool.
Mom and Popi-thanks for everything. How can I describe what you have done for me? Oh, wait I can't. Mom, you are insane, and always there for me, even if we do fight about stupid things like driving laws and rugby games. Popi, about our conversation last night. It was funny, what I said about not ever dating in high school. I was just trying to be serious. So you laughing and saying, 'oh until you get asked out right?' well bad timing is a family trait. but seriously. you are so incredible. especially when it comes to my boy crisis.
Josh-you're an older brother. Need I say more? I'm gonna miss you a lot when you leave this summer. And sadly enough, I will miss your lectures on why i shouldn't date ever until I meet my future husband. Even though I never listen to you, the fact that you care is cool enough.
Amanda-i'm so glad Josh met you. Because, then I got to meet you. And I'm glad he finally found someone he can be happy with. I guess I was kinda worried after Emily. But you, you are so much better, and so far beyond our wildest dreams for him.
Kathleen-i know i'm horrible at keeping in touch. but you are one amazing friend, i don't know what i would do with out you. for real. and yes, i am considering moody. it's one of my top two. Who knows what God has in store for us, whatever it is, I know we'll be together in spirit no matter the miles between us.
Brett-I can't say anything to describe my love for you even though it's been four years.
Austin and Sarah-Well, three musketeeres. I think we may have been disbanded. Like in August. But! You are still two of the coolest people i ever hang with.
Connor-the fourth musketeere, who never really joined, but that's okay. We have a 'unique' relationship. And just so you know, on the bus from hoi polloi, they weren't laughing cause i was talking to a guy. they were laughing cause i was talking to the guy i liked, and for once, they actually got to meet him and make fun of me. I have to apologize for giving you so much crap in the past year. And also for calling you a hypocrit behind your back. Seeing you at school is always awesome. Especially when you actually acknowledge me in the halls. ;)
Nat-oh my gosh. Te amo mucho mucho mucho!!! I dont know how I managed to get through chem before we sat next to each other. In fact, I don't know how i made it through last semester without seeing you every day. You brighten my day, no matter how crummy it is.
Kathryn-we weren't friends. but thanks for being yourself. it made me okay with who i am. you have no clue.
Whoever you are-you have no idea how much i am in love with you, even if it is only as a brother in christ. When I think of you I smile, when I see you, my heart is in my throat and i can't breathe, much less talk. I randomly start thinking of you and laughing in different classes. I don't generally understand your thoughts, and I'm sorry for trashing you behind your back. I'm sorry for being the walking contradiction that I am. Know that, no matter what, I will always think of you beyond the expectations of everyone else. Sorry I expect so much. But, I know you will do it, and better than anyone else, because guess what? It's what God wants you to do.
Andrew, Pete, Bob-well. I miss you a ton. love, the queen of cream.
nathan-your smile every MWF in spanish is really nice. I come in from English which is one of my worst classes, and your smile and 'hello' just brightens my morning! Pepe, and I think you are a freaking awesome bass player in worship band.

that was cool. i think it probably meant a lot to people to know what you think. i should probably be more open about stuff too.
