Sarah

This post is dedicated to one of my very best friends, Sarah. We met our senior year of high school when I was talked into coming to this thing called Young Life. One day I apprehensively walked into Amigos for Campaigners (which I thought sounded like a group of junior politicians but is really just a small group Bible study) where I met Sarah and her friends. Little did I know that day would change my life- not only did I fall in love with Young Life, but I made a friend who would become "my person" and walk through the next five years with me! How lucky I was! This weekend she graduated and became an RN (Real Nurse!). Now we're both grown ups (sorta) but she's still my person and still the first one I call with juicy news. She loves hard and is full of life, but is not a very good roller skater. ;)

We made a scrapbook for graduation but I couldn't fit everything on the page I made so I thought I'd continue it here. So here's some memories and pics of life together....
