Memory 9 Emily Crawford

So i met this girl and it was her senior year, never would i ever have guessed it would have come to this. She was always at the places i was, and so i felt that the only thing to do was be freinds with her since i saw her all the time. Suprisingly her going to college brought us closer and we soon became very good friends. I'm not really sure what life without her would be like, and i don't think that i really want to know to be honest. So many memories together that i can't even list them cause their are just to many to be able to count. Hey Emily, i love you and remember yes, i am a black girl in disguise, and yes you can stand under my umbrella anytime you want ;)

Memory 8 Jr. Sr.

Oh my word this was the time of my life chillin with the besties and just having a ball. To say that i wish that i could be in their class is for sure an understatement. Over the years some of my best friends have come from that class. Without them i am not sure what i would do, they have gotten me through some of the roughest times in my life. Everyone came over to my house after to party, and let me tell you i was stressed, but in the end it was all worth it :)

Memory 7 Spring Break 09

Spring break 2009!!! Florida, going to see my grandparents a boring experience that I don't look forward to. But that year, Tiffany(middle) and Korinna (right) were going to be 30 min from me. YES PLEASE!! Laying on the beach, collecting shells, swimming, taking pictures, and witnessing God's creation at it's best. This for sure was a Spring Break that I will remember for awhile. Ha oh and ordering the most epic chocolate cake for room service ever! Oh my word the best chocolate cake I have her had, we legit fought over it, that's how good it was! Chilling with friends and family is what I love to do. I think that's why this trip was soo much fun!

Memory 6 The Worship Group

During my sophomore and junior year, like any other teenager I was trying to find myself. This group of people helped me discover who I was, and helped me to understand music in a different way. Josh (who is not in the picture) helped me more than anything else. He showed me that music is more than words on a page and notes in an order. He helped me realize that music is an overflow of the soul, and that's what really makes people enjoy it. Krista (who is on my left) is totally an older sister to me. I talk to her and she gives me advise and she totally understands what I am going through. Even though she has moved nothing has changed in our relationship. That more than anything means alot to me. Don't get me wrong I miss them alot, but I know that deep down inside they are with me in every single thing that I do.

Memory 5 My Smith Sister! :)

Ever since freshman year i have been forced to have a locker next to this girl. She always talked to me and I always talked back and she was a super sweet girl. I never ever in a million years thought that she would be the "peanut butter" to my "jelly" but she is. We have grown closer than I ever wanted to my senior year, cause honestly i went into this year with the attitude that i didn't need to make another friend becasue i was going to college. Clearly God had other plans, because i could not imagine this year without her. From the fights in english class, to the boys, to the creeper in english, to the sweater vest teacher we have been through it all together. Ask me if i regret any of it and i will tell you no not for a second. If anything i wish that it could have been like this before now. Why you ask ,because i now feel like i have met my sister from another mother and quite frankly she has the same last name as me! I love you miss raechel smith with all my heart, and no matter what happens you will always be the "peanut butter to my jelly sandwich".

Memory 4 Frightful 5

So this "group" has probably made the second semester of my senior year. Basically the guys were having a "man night" (weird i know but what can you do). Us girls, Emily Johnson, Katelyn Mershon, Korinna Waggoner, Hanna Hill, and I decided we wanted to prank the guys. We ended up writing, kissing with lipstick, putting smell good stuff, and girl stuff in and outside 6 of the guys cars. They got us back by putting rice on our cars, shaving cream, and toilet paper. But it rained and it didn't really matter. So therefore we got them better!! So.. The Frightful five... maybe coming to a car near you ;)

Memory 3 Summer Studies.

So basically the summer before my junior year was THE BEST SUMMER EVER!!!! I met some incredible people who I will never ever ever forget. On the left is "the gang". We were basically beast at bowling, and had such an amazing time. First one's to start, and last one's to be done. We were pretty epic if I do say so myself. Basically some pretty epic things happend in this group. Derek and Britney are offical (and will get married haha) they are on the left. Then Korinna, the girl on the right and I
saw Alex at the mall just a couple months ago. He was in claire's with his sister's which was hillarious if I do say so myself, and it was Valentine's Day. hahaha good times. So all of us are going to Cedarville except Bri-wanna, the only other girl I have not talked about. I wish she was going cause I could see us being epic bestfriends. Her and I had some good times with the ice cream, and just in general. This is one of the summers that I will remember forever!!

This(on the right) is the one and only Sarah Anderson!! She was an AMAZING R.A and I wish that I would have known her forever. One of my favorite memories with her is going with SAG!!! Her and Grace (another R.A) decided to make a cooking video and boy was it funny. I was the director/film person which was a good time. We were sooo much alike it was a little scary I'm not going to lie. I can't wait for her to come see me in college!! It will be a blast!!
This is none other than BRI DUPREE!!! She was another

R.A. It's very strange how God put's people in your life, and it's perfect he is just amazing. Bri is basically my sister from another mother. I feel like we have just known eachother forever! This year I went to Cedarville a couple times and visted her. She is my mentor and I just love her to death. I am not sure what I would have done without her. She is such a huge inspiration and she has done so many things in my life. She has opened up doors that I never thought I could open till at least college. She has taught me how to get my praise on and not be afriad to just show my creator how I really feel. She made me realize that at times we forget what the word GRACE really means, and for that I am sooo thankful. So I guess I am trying to say she is pretty much amazing and I can't wait to see where God takes this relationship.
