Texas here i come....

As some of you know...this week i will be leaving on a jet plane (don't worry i'm coming back! i can't leave evan for that long lol) and i will be heading to the state of Texas (where everything is rumored to be bigger and better i doubt it!) as some of you might know i'm not very fond of Texas but since its for one of my best

friends than i'm okay. So i'm sure some of you are asking what the heck are you going to Texas for (i'm asking the same thing...lol) but i'm going to Austin, TX to see one of my very best friends get married! If you knew this girl you would just be as happy as i am. I can only say that i am like a proud parent...haha....Mary Jo has evloved into the most amazing woman i have known...without the example of her mom who abondended her at a young age...Mj has learned to love despite that and change who she is so that her family will be diiferent. I admire her for that and respect her

greatly for tackling her fears (of commitment) and just trusting

God with her future. Like i said i couldn't be prouder. So because

I love memories...i'm going to share a little about Mj and our college days....the first time i met Mj i thought she was the dumbest girl ever...i rem. she was my nieghbor and she wrote on her door welcome to our pad and actually put a womens feminine pad on her door....i looked at it and i was omg it's going to be quite the year...little did i know that Mj would become the bestest friend ever and roomie. My next encounter with her was at hall meeting...i thought she was the wierdest she was the rebel...with her crazy mismatched (she still to this day does it) striped socks saying the most sarcastic comments...i thought omg shut up! But little did i know she would be like a sister to me....As time went on and she tried to steal my other friend i began to hang out with her and she seemed cooler and cooler...she was the only white girl that spoke spanish and loved cubans! She was funny and she liked to dance....so needless to say we became friends instantly! And than roomies for the next 3 yrs. Because of Mj i think that my college experience was amazing to have such an awesome and spontaneous friend by ur side always helps there is never a dull moment...and i have had the privelege of seeing us both grow into adults. I think our room set the record for most reps for not cleaning your room or being late to convo....i won't forget the night we would stay up all night playing pokemon puzzle and eating sheets talking about our love triangles (well mostly hers) or the time we pranked Jacob's car at 5am and framed someone else (which ps...he didn't find out it was us till we graduated!) Our favorite thing to do was talk spanish around people who didn't understand it they would get so mad! (especially our other hounddog roomate) One of my favorite memories was when she suprised me and took me camping! (i had a bit of a mishap but we all survived!) i love our friendship we would talk all the time on the phone for hours...we were so different yet so the same...she's a rebel i'm not...she's a free spirit i'm not up for environmental things...i'm loud she's calm and quiet...but we are both spontanous! So for four yrs. God blessed me with an amazing family memeber i guess you could say since i had no family in lynchburg her family took me in as there own...haha i still to this day have the record for the friend that visited her house the most on weekend trips! She was my support, encouragement, accountablity, shoulder to cry on, and i was blessed and still am...even though she lives in TX and is getting married doesn't mean we stop being friends it means we are both beginning the next chapters of our lives (mine is just little delayed lol) It so cool to see us now 6 yrs. later....we always would wonder about the future and here we are in it! and its just so cool to see us grown up and see what awesome adults and women we have become...i love it! So i'm soooooooooooooooooo excited to see my hermanita i've missed her so and so proud to see her get married!
