CYNTHIA'S ENGAGED!

ahhh i never thought that the day would come, but it finally has! my best friend from high school called me last night and told me that her beau popped the big question! CONGRATULATIONS to you both, sweet cyndie and john michael!!! :)



cyndie and i met in elementary school, and continued to go to the same schools up through high school. however it wasn't until our tenth grade of high school that our friendship really blossomed. cynthia and i were leaving the parking lot one afternoon in our respective cars when BANG - i got a little lovetap on the back of the trooper.:) well anyone who knows the trooper knows that nothing short of a meteor could destroy that thing. so needless to say, my car was fine. cyndie's on the other hand had a few more problems. though she was only going mayyyyyyybe 4mph, the hood of her car was bent in half along with quite a few other problems. we ran into the school to call her dad from a payphone (i think we both got cell phones after this) and our friendship took off from there. since then we were inseparable, until cynthia went to liberty university and i came to vt. however we're lucky enough to be less than two hours from each other and love to visit when we can.

cyndie, your friendship has meant the world to me and i don't think i would have made it through western branch without you! all those nights at 4REAL, orchestra trips (bus hair!) and countless phonecalls have shaped me into the person i am and i thank you for that. you're such an amazing friend, who has a heart for the lord and a compassion like no other. john michael is a lucky man for sure! i am sooo excited for you and wish you both all the best. now i know what we'll be doing on the beach all summer- reading wedding magazines! i love you girl!!! :)

simplicity

so i have a new favorite magazine. granted, i'm only 22 and only wish i needed to read articles about "organizing my basement" but still, i love reading this periodical for the new tips and great quotes interspursed throughout. what is it?
REAL SIMPLE.
I LOVE IT. go buy an issue and i know you'll agree with me. in fact, if you go onto their website you can request a free trial issue (i actually got two!) instead of paying full price. buy it. enjoy it. and get excited about organizing your basement. :)
