Well, a long time ago I met this girl. And she was cool. So I hung out with her. And we did all sorts of cool stuff.

Playing volleyball.

Or just chillin' at co-op. And then proceeding to go crazy.

Taking a break from playing volleyball in the co-op parking lot to get some pictures...

Dancing the nights away...

Watching the fireworks...

Going on photo shoots...

Making memories.

Lizzy is one of those people who you can't help but love. She drives you crazy in a good way and teaches you what true fun is. You haven't met true awesomeness until you've met my sunshine. 

Sunshine and Strawberry.

I don't know what I'd do without Lizz. She's the one who taught me how to roll with the punches and administer them when needed. She's taught me that life is full of ups and down but it's the ups that count and they are the ones to let your mind dwell upon - not the downs. 

I don't think she realizes just how much she has impacted my life. Sure she's crazy and looney and all that jazz - that's why we love her. 

In only two months, we graduate in the same class, side by side(Literally - our last names both start with a C so we will be standing next to each other in line :-P). Just a little while ago, we were talking about the future. In five years, we could be celebrating each other's marriages. In ten years, perhaps our kids will be playing with each other while we talk about old memories and memories still to come over coffee. 

I can't wait to embrace the future with Lizzy as a dear and close friend - the one she has, and always will be,  to me.

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

Dearest Sunshine,

We haven't known each other for many years as some have, nor since birth as others; but our friendship is already a thing I cherish most in life. I love all of the traits that the Lord has given to you...even the ridiculous ones, which I'm afraid I have been infected with. :)
What do I like about you?

-Your a nerd. Which makes us 2 of a kind.
-Your creative. And creativity is awesome.
-Your not afraid to be who you are...or afraid of any other thing, for that matter.
-Though you always steal my Coke, you always let me steal yours, too.
-You like what you like, and if others don't like what you like or think your weird for liking it...too bad for them. Your gonna like it anyway.
-Your not overly sensitive.
-You love your friends enough to tell them when they're in the wrong.
-You love your friends enough to tell them sorry when you were in the wrong, though you very rarely have to do that. :)
-You love your siblings and aren't afraid to show it.
-You love the Lord with all your heart, and love to share His word, too.
-You think I'm weird...I take that as a compliment.
-Your my Sunshine. Shining your light on me, making me grow up nice and sweet.
-Your you. And that's what I like about you most.
