requiem for a dream-like-experience, part V

i'm starting to feel like i'm writing in a yearbook. this is not goodbye. i promise. just a way to tell all of you how much i love and appreciate going through college with you.

the boys. you guys are definitely in the minority in my friend group. so you have a blog all to yourselves.

PJ Mancuso: the first time i met you was the "night of everything." rollercoaster road, the haunted school house, palms, waffle house. you and taylor met! what a wonderful night! you are such a great friend. i'm so happy for you and taylor both. i remember when the three of us had comm 150 together during summer session and just laughing a lot. that was back when you were sleeping on their couch at the ridge. what a fun time. lost discussions, hp discussions, talks about theology and life. you're just awesome and i can't wait to see you and tay's life together. (and i can't wait to be aunt jordan to what i KNOW will be you guys' precious children!)

Ming Lee: i can't imagine anyone more perfect for jenny. from sushi to lost to zaxby's after radius, i'm so glad you came into all of our lives.

Ray Hobbs: just one year of knowing you wasn't enough! i remember one night at 356 i had a cold and asked if it would be a bad idea to drink a beer when i had just taken some kind of medicine. you assured me i'd be fine. well let-me-tell-you. i was not fine. i'm not sure if you actually knew that. or why i'm saying it here. whelp. you definitely made my junior year better than it would have been had you not been around. i'm especially fond of that random time that you got a ride with me to columbia. i'm just really glad to know you!

Ryan Heard: what an encouraging voice you are. i never really knew you that well until we took religion with cohen. what a great time to chat about all things God and life. it's been so great to look down onto the stage at fca and see you anchoring the rhythm of the Lord's songs. what a blessing.

Jamie Williams: jamie-bro. when i think of you during freshman year, i think of you pop-lock-and-dropping it with carlye in the parking lot behind byrnes. loved our chats through soccer games this fall with chan. you're a great guy and it's so great to know you.

Ben Lanz: i'm so glad you kept pursuing claire and bringing her ice cream even though you met on facebook because now you're getting married! i'm so glad to know you. thank you so much for all your help with the "manly" stuff around the apartment! what a blessing!

Blair Clarkson: awww buddy. i miss you over there in europe! you were such a huge part of my life toward the end of college. i'm so thankful for you!

and finally....
Joey Evans: words just cannot express how much your friendship means to me. i don't know what to say. mostly because you know it all anyways. thanks for putting up with my neurotic girl mess. thanks for leaving your friends at waffle house to come talk to me when i was upset. thanks for your eternal willingness to help me even when it's not convenient. i remember our g-chat conversations all summer when you were in fort collins. man, that summer was a little rough, but we both made it through! i cannot WAIT to see what life has for you, from law school to saving the world! you're the best. i mean it.
