14 people to be happy about.

These are just a few of the people that have had an impact on my life, and I know there are many more.


1)Dayna Christian: nicest and most genuine person I know.

2)Aimee Brammer showed me what it means to be intentional.

3)Kelsey Newton (Kels my fav) was my first friend at CBU. At first I didn’t like her. This has greatly changed.

4)Hope: how do I sum up this friendship? We are sometimes joined at the hip. Her laugh is contagious, and I feel we are alike in so many ways, yet so different; a life-long friend.

5)Holly defines the word “best friend”.

6)Dayna: I have never had so much stomach- aching, eye- watering laughter with anyone else. She was with me literally when my whole world changed. I simply can’t explain her in one line.

7)Jessica will reach the top of the corporate ladder before I do. But that’s ok. She gives the best stretch arm hugs, and we could be apart for months and nothing will change.

8)Jamie :) she was my partner in crime through a breakup. Her honesty and boldness were deeply needed.

9)My field workers in China: with barely knowing me, they sought the Lord and revealed things in my life I needed to change. They could see right through me and were open about it. I am eternally grateful.

10)Armando and Amanda Garcia: I would not have survived high school without them as youth leaders. Those Wednesday nights were some that I still remember clear as day. God worked, and I was changed.

11)Briana Wragg: my faithful cousin who I used to fear because I didn’t want accountability. I am so grateful she is honest anyway. It is what I need.

12)Garrett: who else would take all my annoyance and still build forts with me? I still cherish all the times I can make him grilled cheese like I did when we were young; the best brother in the whole world.

13)My mom: hero, fighter, lover. She taught me so much through her life, stuff that I am still learning now. I will always love her.

14)Underoath: their music blows me away, and watching them grow as a band has somehow impacted my life.

I nearly died once accidently getting caught in an underoath mosh-pit during warped tour. You should tell them to tell their fans to calm down! haha jk
