Inspiring


In college I always told myself I was going to write a book that was part fiction and part non fiction. I have has the greatest friends through my 27 years of life. Each and everyone of them is so different and they bring out the best in me in their own special way! Once I started working out of college I just never took the time to write. I use to love writing in college, it can be the best therapy.

Take for example my bridesmaids in my wedding. All 8 of them are from a different stage in my life and all 8 of them are nothing alike. My bachelorette party was the 1st time I had all of them in one place and even though there where awkward moments just because they had all never met by the end of my wedding they all just loved each other. It was so neat to have them call me and tell me how much they all loved each other.

Calli my Matron of Honor is a Godly, Incredible God Fearing Women that I can only pray to be like one day. She is the Proverbs Women! Her faithfulness to me in our friendship since 3rd grade has brought me through some of the darkest moments in my life! Her and I can make each other laugh so hard.

Jess my Maid of Honor is currently a Park Ranger in Jackson Hole this summer. Now that is something I would never do. She loves folk music and camping, there is nothing about those 2 things that I like what so ever! We have had the best late night conversations and I would not have made it through my Senior year at TCU without her.

Brittany and I have known each other since 6th grade. We have always seemed just a like but we are hoenstly completely different. We were attached at the hip all through Jr. High and High School. She seems quiet when you 1st meet her but once she warms up she is the kindest and actually really witty. Her laugh is priceless! Watching her become a mother has also been the biggest blessings for me.

Amy and I where a match made in heaven from the second we met in class at TCU. She is definitely a God sent friend. Right when I needed a great new friend there she was with my same initials "ALC." She loves fashion and has the best taste for decor! We can always take off from right where we left no matter how long it has been since we have talked.

Hope is the 1st person I call when I am having a really bad day. She always sees the positives in life and makes me laugh. God has given her so much joy that she spreads everyday. She never sees the negative in anything or anyone. But don't make her mad or you might she the wrath of Hope.

Allyson was a prayer request answered. For months I prayed for God to bring Steven and I a great couple to hang out with and low and behold he brought us Marcus and Allyson. The 4 of us have grown through a lot in just the small amount of time together and I know as we start having babies together things are going to get even better.

Carol Ann is one of the strongest women I know. She is such an incredible mom and wife. I have watched and held her hand as her newborn baby was put in ICU for a month and she literally did not know if he would make it through the night and I only heard her cry 1 time!

My cousin Jennifer has walked through a lot and has pushed through it all. She has a wonderful husband and 3 precious children. Her 2 little girls are the picture perfect kids and not to mention they are my mom and aunt as little girls. God Bless her for raising them, I don't know if I could do.

Maybe one day I will slow down and write the book I have always dreamed of. I would model each character after these wonderful women but create a great storyline maybe using bits and pieces of their life's that I have been so honored to be apart of!
