So first of all there's Tonya! LOVE HER!! She's the one that knows me the best...the one that can finish my sentences...the one that I go to first with my problems. She's unbelievably loyal and trustworthy and I guess that's what I love the most about her! She's seen me at my best and my worst and she will forever love me! You can't beat a friend like that!
Then there's Laura! Where do I start?...JK! She's my other best friend that I've known forever. She's the one I've always been secretly jealous of...either because of the fact that EVERY (and not exaggerating here) guy I liked in high school conveniently liked her or because of her crazy, cool fashion sense! I guess the thing I love about Laura the most is her playfulness and positive attitude! She doesn't let alot get her down and she definitely lives life to the fullest!
Courtney...or C. Hicky as I lovingly refer to her! She's my college roomie for 2 marvelous years! She and I hit it off immediately...which is not common for a shy one like me! She was ALWAYS making me laugh and felt my pain when it came to the struggle of shyness. The thing I love the most about her is that she's that friend that you can pick things up with right where you left off! 
You can look at this picture and know who gets me in the most interesting situations....KYLA! Kyla and I are complete opposites in almost every way....she's loud and loves attention while I shy away from it...she takes great pleasure in telling the most outrageous stories while I get nervous and wonder if people really want to hear mine....she loves anything gaudy and glittery while I settle for the simple! The thing I love about Kyla is that I can go to her with things that others might see as trivial, and she truly listens and understands! 
This next one holds a extra special place in my heart...Lindsay! In the short time I've known her, I can say sooo much about why I love her. I think God places people in your life so that you can help them and also so that they can help you...Lindsay is one of those people to me! She's the one that makes me think and challenges me to see things from a completely different perspective. I love her openness and heart for people. I love how she's willing to share her present or past struggles because she knows it might help others who are going through those same struggles as well. I love her humbleness, how God radiates through her life, and how God uses her in more ways than she could ever imagine! I hope she rubs off on me and one day all 3 of those characteristics can be seen in me as well :)
Last, but by no means least, is Mary Michal. I've only recently gotten to know her, but I feel as though we were sisters separated at birth! I love her so much because she makes me feel like its okay to be me! I can't tell you the number of times that I've said something about myself and she's looked at me afterwards and said "Me too!" The thing I love about her is how genuine she is and how easy friendship is with her :) P.S. She's also one of the few friends I have that I can proudly say I'm taller than!!!!
Almost forgot little Jess! Jess was a freshman my 1st senior year at A&M and she was another one with whom I immediately bonded! After we met, I swear we were attached at the hip and I still to this day consider her my little sis! Jess has such a beautiful spirit and a loving heart! I have seen her literally blossom before my eyes into a strong and amazing Christian woman who is constantly being used by God. The thing I love about Jess is her hunger for the Lord. After each conversation I have with her, I am constantly encouraged and challenged to have as much of a fire in my walk with the Lord as she has! I love her dearly :)What a lucky girl I am!
"Two are better than one....If one falls down, his friend can help him up."
