requiem for a dream-like-experience, part II

to all my other girls. i'm so glad that God brought us together.

Chandler Carver: chauncey. i am so glad we're friends. obviously, the majority of memories stem from spring break. walking fifteen feet in front of you at all times. dragging you through the met with a look of wonder in my eyes as you were probably bored out of your mind. you dragging me to the big green or whatever that boston stadium is called. then the other times. trivia, 356 sushi nights, photo shoots, skipping class to go to atami's sophomore year. your amazing ability to interpret my text messages. rapping along with jay-z. when you're a big-time sports woman, you better introduce me to rafa nadal. you'll have the connections, i know it.

Kristan Alewine: kristan, i just can't tell you how much i appreciate you in my life. you and your amazing neck massages and head scratches. "public." defying gravity at the top of our lungs. taking thousands of pictures on spring break. some interesting late-night text messages. your encouragement helped get me through this year. thank you.

Sarah Comer: you just don't know how much i love you. it's so, so much. i'm incredibly thankful for the summer of sarah, when we hung out those first few times. i was so intimidated by your beauty. driving to stumphouse and standing in the waterfall with laura, going to pray on campus at 7am, being so sad when your internship moved you back to north augusta. i'm so glad we became friends. you are just the most beautiful spirit. can't wait for our "wedding date."

Caitlin O'Neill: big deal. what a baller at life you are. and an acc champion also. i'm so glad we got to bond in the car the whole way to tampa. i need to learn some of your cooking skills.

Shelby Salley: sleeeeepy shelbs. i think i met you less than a year ago. but can i just tell you how cool i think you are? a baller mountain woman. let's move to foco in the fall, okay? we'll go get tattoos, too...once you figure out what you want.

Emily Armes: you do what you want without worrying about anyone else's opinion. i love that about you. this summer in charleston, the bike gang, commandeering tall ships, making meals out of seemingly nothing. i'm so thankful to have you in my life. it's so cliche, but you've always been there for me, and i'm deeply grateful.

Jenny Conard: you got engaged last night! okay that's not really a memory...yet. but it will be! hey i'm so glad i've gotten to live with you for the past three years. staying up late and watching friends after everyone else had gone to bed. letting me cry on your shoulder. lifting me up in prayer. a woman after my own heart. a lover of beauty. thanks for introducing me to madeleine. bless you for putting up with my attitude!

Claire Campbell: as i type this, you're cleaning up the living room from jenny's engagement party. what a servant's heart. it's been such a blessing to be able to live with you. three weeks until you're married. i can't wait to see what you and ben do together for the Lord.

Laura Vollmer: it's been so good to become friends with you in the past couple of years. you have such a gentle spirit and i love that about you.
