So Lizzy and I had a sleep over......but.......

Jacob and Matt got jealous....and decided they needed to have one as well in Lizzy's room. :)

I invited Lizzy to sleep over at my house, I was ready for some fun but little did I know that a disaster would happen!!!

Liz came over and we first started out by jumping on the beds and screaming like crazy (okay not really...but close enough.) We played on the Game Cube for a bit then watched a movie, then had Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream. Here is proof of what it did to us.....




Simply prepared us for the night!!

Here is all the food we had for the two of us for the night.......we eat yummy food and watched lots of movies!








We had to take at least one non-normal picture of us.....but just one. :)

Then we got back to normal......yeah that shows what we are really like!! In fact we even look alike......crazy, goofy, wacky, weird, funny, silly, and fun. Yup thats normal for us!


Lizzy thinks I am weird and I think she is crazy that is why we have so much fun together......just look at us don't we look adorable??? True love........

"Friendship is love set on fire!" Yup we are in love and on fire! :)

…a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Ecclesiastes 4:12b (KJV)

If this is so, consider the strength of a fivefold cord. Individually, these strands can’t bear any weight. The most they can do is manage to knot themselves up. But when differences are put aside and all join to form one strong cord, it can withstand all manner of trials, and enjoy all manner of blessings.

Your lives, whether you realize it or not, whether you want them to or not, are woven into each other’s. You have all made an impression, good or bad, on each other, an impression that can never be undone. Whenever you look back upon this season of your life, you will remember these four friends, these comrades, among many others.

A fivefold cord is not made of five identical strands. How dull that would be. Instead, each one is a different color, a different size, a different texture. How beautiful when they all come together to change the world.

But take care: one inconsistency in that cord causes strife. If one of you bring to this friendship a weak point in your strand, whether it be a grudge, jealousy, pride, anger, or selfishness, catastrophe awaits, not only for all of you, but for all those who have been affected by your lives.

A division among you is like a sharp knife threatening to tear apart your delicate cord. Once the injury has taken place, it cannot be undone. Time may bring the strands back together to form a cord, but it will never be as strong as it could have been.

Each event of your life together is another fold in your single cord, made of so many strands. One day you will look back on those folds of time, some smooth and pleasant, others rough and troubled, and remember the times shared, the emotions expressed, the words spoken, and those left unsaid.

Cast all your disagreements at the feet of Jesus, unite in love, bond in peace, and let a friendship grow that will last for eternity.

Hanging out together is always fun and sure to bring many great memories and funny moments that are not soon forgotten. Even if it is just one day: with Lizzy around, something is sure to happen! :-) Katie H, Lizzy and I have been taking American Sign Language class at PJC College this past semester, and from this, we have accumulated even more memories to store away and remember. On three of these occasions, we decided to bring a camera and capture some of our moments at PJC.

I know what you’re probably thinking: “Only THREE times??”. We had planned to take it MANY more times than that, but something always happened and we only successfully used it three times. So, here are a few pictures from those memorable times!

CAUTION: We do goof off! But only a little! :-)

This was the first time we brought a camera with us to class, and didn't use it till we were on the ride home! :) It was a Tuesday night, therefore my parents were driving all of us to class and back.

Katie took this picture of Lizzy and myself just before we arrived at the drop off point where Lizzy gets picked up by her parents or siblings. :)

Katie H brought her camera two days later (Thursday). For some reason that I cannot remember, we got dropped off at PJC early and had an hour or two to blow before class began. After spending some time in the computer lab, we went around to the side and began taking pictures! :-)

We were interrupted in our picture-taking by a phone call for Lizzy, so we decided to snap one of her. I thought it turned out to be a pretty cool picture!

Taking a funny picture of surprise....which Katie H cut me out of! :-) I didn't mind too much!

Lizzy being....Lizzy!!!!!!!! :-)

Me and Lizzy....friends forever and EVER!! :-)

This is last Thursday, on our way home from our 3rd tests for Sign Language where we all got an 'A'! :-) As you may guess, we were happy!!

Lizzy and I....goofing off!! :-)

And here is the last picture! :-)

Now, all these pictures are not able to capture all of the memories that we have, like the songs we have sung and danced on the way home, the many funny and embarrassing moments in class or even the hilarious comment made to Katie H as we entered the computer lab that one time. :-) But thank God for the ability to store these precious moments away and remember them forever, even when we are old and gray. I thank God for every time I have hung out with Cookie Dough...may I experience many more to come....

Love you,

Chocolate Chip

Strawberry here.

Just letting you know that, by request, I am updating Lizzy's blog to make it more colorful. Please hang on as I try to finish up the last few mess-ups!

It's got a few minor errors...like it goes too fast at the beginng, but I didn't feel like perfecting it right now. So, here is a view of our Typical Day At Co-op...that is when we're not in class. :)

Give it a second, it takes a second to load. After about 20 seconds, press the pause button and press play again.

I don't know what to say, but I need to post on here. :)
I don't have neat pictures of you and me, cause I'm always taking the pictures.
I don't have neat words of admiration and affection because I'm not dumb enough to go memorize the dictionary.
I do have two eyes, and a mind that perceives, 2 ears...and a nose.
Your really pretty, no matter what silly face your making.
Your pretty cool.
And your really neat.
And your really really dorky.
And your laugh is beautiful.
And sometimes you stink. But hey, I do too.
And sometimes I want to tell you something, but I don't know how to say it.
Liz, your perfectly special how you are. A unique charecter with an incredible mind and a stunning personality. And as for your "fun size", you make up for it in awesomeness.
You rock. Don't ever stop being who you are. Cause if you do, I gonna come drag you back out...and you don't want that.

Your friend,
Strawberry

This one here fits Liz the best I think...don't you?!?!

I love little things like this! And they ALL apply!

God knew our parents couldn't handle us as sisters so He just made us sisters in Him! ;

We all know that ALL of these are true!

DON'T WE?!?!?!?! And this applies to everybody...Lizzy isn't the only special one...you know I love you! Everyone is special in their own little way! : )

This is another collage that I made when we came back from the trip! : )

Well...I hope that everyone enjoyed the pics! I know that I do! I just wanted to say that I love each and every one of you and even though I don't show it or say it often enough, I DO! I love you guys!

~Katie Holmes

I absolutely love this. I found this online, so I think that it is NIV but we all know what it really says!

I know that you prolly can't see what it says at the bottom but it says, "Friendship is a buildig contract you sign with laughter and break with tears!" I like this one!

This is a collage that I made after we went to Destin for Lizzy's birthday!

Becky and I have been though a lot over the years....but after going through some tough things we both finally realized that living across the street from each other and having brothers that were best friends we knew that either we were going to have to hate each other or love each other. I don't think we really picked one or the other it just happened.......and for the past few years we have became very close best friends and sisters.
There is not a day that goes by that I am not thankful to God for giving us the Kelly family not only as neighbors but great friends.
Becky and I have had the best memories...I think we could grow old just talking about them. I love you Becky and look forward to all the great years ahead of us. I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for us!!! ;)

Love your big sis,
Lizzy Ruth
