These pics are from last year at my graduation! I laughed and joked with both of these girls about how it was their turn next!
Little did we know it would come so dad-gum quickly! So much has happened in this past year! I had to leave Janelle in Granbury, while I moved to Belton, Tx! Super bittersweet. Our friendship is just as strong, if not stronger. We both experienced so much in this past year. God grew in both of our lives, stretching us like never before. She was my rock and shoulder to cry during the worst time of my life and my laughter and smiles during my greatest. We wear the snot out of skype, I will tell you that. I was so afraid that our lives would take separate paths and our friendship would become distance, but I think we proved ourselves wrong. Yes, different paths. BUT NO, not distance friendship. We learned and have learned and are still learning that friendship is more than time spent together. That's such a basic principle, but how many people put it into practice? She's who I call all giddy about my first date. She's who I talk to about God with. She's who I tell every secret to. She's the girl I'm not afraid to ask for help in an area I'm struggling in. She's the girl I scream HSM and JOBROS with in the car. She's the one that I skype with once a week or just about die. She's my favorite. She's going to be a successful woman of God. She's going to reach her goals, and she's going to be a light to UTSA. I love her. She's beyond a shadow of a doubt the one girl that I know will be there, no matter what, forever. This year, she'll be wearing the grad gown! I'm so proud of her! Congrats to my bestest friend, Janelle Ivy Lee.
This is my precious cousin, Kayla! It's also her time-to-shine! Her time to wear that gown! She's been there since she was born (literally, there is a picture of me feeding her a bottle!). We've grown up, right before our eyes. We've had a year of ups and downs! Little Jalyn was born this year. SO precious! I just adore that baby, wish I could see her more..a lot more! I am so excited to see her grow up! As exciting as this was, we also were dealing with the Mamoo issue. Most of our memories together are with Kay and Mamoo. We were just four great fun fun fun girls! We never had a dull moment, sometimes I think Kay and Mamoo wish we would've just crashed for a nap. BUT NO! We always had a blast, always laughing. We didn't ever notice the age difference between us and our grandmothers. We just had a ball. We miss Mamoo, but our memories are NEVER ENDING. I hope to still have some girl time with Kay and Kayla, and just laugh at Mamoo memories. Kayla was my girl to cry with and think about memories with and freak out. Her heart broke too, and it's nice to have her to heal with. Kayla will be a high school graduate Friday! So awesome, huh? No more high school for either of us! It's crazy how old we are. We keep in contact pretty great, and I'm so proud of her. Especially this year. I love you Kayla! CONGRATS CONGRATS CONGRATS!
They are 2 of my favorite girls! Congrats to them both! I can't believe how old we are getting! I am praying for them both and anxious to see where God moves in their lives!
Six (almost five) days until Falls Creek!! *** in case you lost count :)
Love.
MISS YOU MAMOO.

This song is so beautiful. It came on my shuffle this morning and it just made me pause and take a second to seriously pray it. Take my life, it's all for thee. I desire this to be my prayer EVERYDAY. All of me, it's all for thee. It's my desire that every action I take brings glory to my heavenly Father. I want everything thought, movement and word to be honoring to Him. Life has been about healing lately, it's been about drawing even closer to the Father. Healing is a beautiful thing. I've been praying lately that God would be showing me what I need to do next to learn to love HIM more. This song (that I've had forever), it says it. Thank you Jesus for playing it on my shuffle this morning :)
