Crazy Beautiful Life
The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself
Playing in the Snow
There is something so amazing about a fresh snowfall. The snow is so beautiful and pristine and it just sparkles with all the amazingness that God has to offer! While most of the time I am an avid hater of the cold of winter, after a new snowfall you can't help but smile, it is just so beautiful! Me and my best friend,
Chrissy, decided to take advantage of it and just have FUN! Sometimes in college it seems like there is never time to enjoy the simple pleasures of having fun, especially with your best friend. It was so fun, we tromped around, freezing our buns off but it was such a good time to enjoy it and take pictures and not worry about homework assignments, check offs and tests for an hour! I loved it. Chrissy is amazing, she has been my best friend for years now and its been so much fun, she is more like a sister to me than my own sister, definately more friendly :P She has been there for me through everything! Through my grandma's death, which was one of the hardest things I ever had to endure, my fighting with my dad and occasionally my mom, through a time when I didn't think I was ever going to overcome my anxiety issues and would die always worrying about something! And I even had the pleasure of showing her around my favorice place on earth, DISNEY WORLD! Me and her took a trip there a couple of years ago and it was so much fun! Sure we have had our ups and downs, what family doesn't right? But through it all I have known that she was going to be there, that we could have our stupid humor and laugh at each other when we are being so stupid or not even have to say anything at all. That is what friends
are for I tell ya. I guess I just needed a reminder of that....and nothing says it best then romping through the snow with each other, getting snow EVERYWHERE and freezing it out together. God is so amazing that he gives us people who know us and love us despite all our faults. One of my favorite quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson goes like this "It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them." I love it because it completely describes my friendship with Chrissy, we can be stupid and it doesn't matter, we love each other anyway!

That is so awesome. My friend in college was Carla and we would go puddle stomping. It was so great. We would be soaked but we thought it was totally hilarious.
Having a friend is priceless.
Look at you! You are blogging right away. And you thought you wouldn't have anything to say. It's fun isn't it? Thanks for upgrading the font. Its much easier on my eyes.
