Sarah!!!

Writing this hurt my heart like a butt cheek on a stick. Seriously. Over the past three months, you have become one of my favorite people on this planet and I can not believe I have to say goodbye to you in 2 weeks. I am not prepared and there will be lots of tears.

These last three months have been filled with lots of laughter, tears, frustration, and growth, but there is no way I could have done it without you. So thank you! Thank you for being my little sister on this trip. Thank you for loving me even when I snapped at you for the hundredth time. Thank you for allowing me to vent all hours of the day! & thank you for ALWAYS making me laugh. I know I can count on you to be a shoulder to cry on any time of the day or night. 

You have a heart of gold and I am so thankful that the Lord placed you on this adventure with me! You will forever be one of my favorite people on this planet and I can not wait to visit you in Indiana!! 

So here is to the next two weeks of lots of tears, late night movie nights, a whole lot of food, and a lot more laughter. I love you, sweet pal, & I will forever be thankful the Lord placed you in my life!

 

(the very beginning) – I seriously knew from that second picture that we would be the best of friends! You are always my go-to friend for a laugh no matter the situation!

 

(somewhere in between) – This is just the beginning of our crazy friendship. I am sure we will both lose a lot more what are the odds & have to do some embarrassing things and honestly I can not wait!

 

(and now) – wow, I got bangs and sweat isn’t my friend. But seriously these three months have been the hardest, sweetest months of my life and I will forever be thankful for your encouragement in everything I do. aka cheering me on from the sidelines in paintball or jumping off a bridge (even when you didn’t do it). 

much love,
