A tribute to Valentines Day...

Since its Valentines and I am single. [happy and single for sure but nonetheless single] I thought to myself "I wonder where all my love goes to if I am not giving it to one person". I mean its got to go somewhere until the time comes for it to be lavished on one individual. SO I started thinking about all the things I "love". And to name a few:

- I love my family. I love all my brothers- even when they are screaming at the top of their lungs, wrestling all over my feet and stinking up the place. I love my parents...they're my heros and I trust them with my life. I feel empty if I don't talk to my mom everyday and my dad is my rock.

- I love my friends. I would start naming them but there are simply to many. Well what the heck [warning : I gots lots of love so I am separating into categories]:

Disciplers/Mentors
Veronica: my discipler and dearest friend. She has saved me from myself to many times to count. I would not be in the place I am today if it wasn't for her. I love her!
The Stevies: My second family!!! I love you guys so much. I would not have been able to do my MC year without you. Thank you for letting me be a part of your family and puting up with me through all my stuff. There is no family like your family!
Kelsey: my role model and constant guide. She has helped me through some of the toughest areas of my life and is one of my greatest fans. We don't talk nearly enough but she is always there for me and for that I am grateful
Biance: I am sure I tortured her to no end when she lived with me but I think that made her love me all the more. She is the complete opposite of me but continues to guide me in ways I didn't even know existed.
Candace: My sister forever and always. I could go for months without talking to her but we have a bond deeper than sisters. She knows me inside and out and I trust her completely
Hopie: One of my favorites!! Never have I had so much fun then when making mischief with Hope. I wish I was around her more, I wish I saw her more but I know that any time I do we can start right where we left off.
Growing up friends [and beyond]-
Kati- We've been through some rough times but its just made us stronger and closer. Too many good times to count...hair models all day long. I know we'll be friends for life.
Elise: So glad to be in her wedding!!! A friend who is a friend til the end. Doesn't matter if we talk everyday or don't talk at all. One of the loyalest and genuine people I have ever met.
Ryan: One of the best guy friends a girl could wish for. Loving protective and thoughtful. I don't know anyone who doesnt feel 100% safe around him
Tyson: A solid rock. He is always willing to listen and to be a shoulder when I need one. He's always been there and always will be there. A faithful, faithful man.
Rob: I can't believe this guy will eat anything!! He is a true brother though. He lived with my family during his MC year and our relationship has only strengthened since then.
Tiffany: I don't see her much anymore but we have a strong bond. From backyard tomboys to Jesus' princesses, its been quite the journey!!

...thats just a few

Now some MC friends:
Larry girl: My favorite secret spot partner. We've cried a lot of tears and laughed a lot laughs. Once an MC sister always an MC sister!!

Hmmm...

I also love good food, good movies, good music. I love it when its raining outside and you have no where to go and you can snuggle up on a couch with hot cocoa. I love coffee. I love art. I love it when its that first day of summer and you don't need a jacket anymore. I love swimming in the ocean and feeling so small yet so free. I love living this life because God is SO good and He has me in His hands. Walking with Him is the best Valentines day gift ever, except we get to do it everyday!!! What a joy!!

Ok thats my very long tribute now I am done
