You have to kiss a lot of toads before you find a handsome prince.

So my best friend got married yesterday! Talk about a shocker! I guess it's just a rude awakening to me. I've gotten so set in my ways, and have always had her around so her getting married just totally upset my social circle! Talk about RUDE! :) Haha! I kept telling her and and her fiance (now husband.. WEIRD) before the wedding, that if he wasn't such a nice guy I would've fought him for her! But I decided that since she loves his so much, and he treats her so well I would just have to learn to share! :) Kristal Danielle Hunt Barnes, here's a tribute from me to you... I'm going to miss you terribly, but I'm glad that Josh is willing to share! :) Here are 10 reasons that I love you! :)


1. You make me smile even when I REALLY want to be mad!
2. I know that if I need a hug in the middle of the night you'll drag yourself out of bed just to give me one!
3. You love to love people... even when they annoy you!
4. You tell me to suck it up and deal with it when I'm being ornery!
5. You treat those around you like everyone is a prince or princess.
6. You love to be a little kid!
7. You watch stupid movies with me like High School Musical and sappy love stories!
8. Even when I was far away in New York you still called me every week, and made me feel loved!
9. When I was at the lowest part in my life you were there in a heartbeat. You lovingly called me an idiot and stood by my side until I was on my feet again!
10. You've been the best friend that I could EVER ask for!

My love is like a cabbage

That's easy to cut in two.

The leaves I'll give to others

But the heart I'll keep for you



I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you:

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good

It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend:

Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better?
Because I knew you
I have been changed for good!


Kristal... I love you more than words can describe! Honestly I don't know what I'm going to do without you by me all the time. I'm happy to share you with Josh though! Thank you for coming and crying with me on the first day of Kindergarten. It changed my life forever!
