To those of you that are always there for me and have basically saved my life, thank you. You all mean the world to me. You have each become part of my family, and I wouldn’t trade any of you for the world. To my best friends, to my girlfriend, to the guy that sleeps on my couch (also one of my best friends) and to everyone else that has been a part of my life, thank you.

To my best friends, you each have your own piece in my life that fits into this crazy puzzle called friendship. James, the funny one. Trent, the logical one. Matt, the wild one. Daniel, the “rage” one. Andrew, the car guy. You all help me in so many ways and you each will forever hold a special place in my heart in my life. Every time I need you guys, whether its two o-clock in the morning or middle of the day, I know that I can call any of you and if you don’t answer you immediately text me asking what’s up. I couldn’t ask for a better support group in all my life decisions and with everything that I have ever needed or wanted.

To my girlfriend, while we may have only been dating for eight months, they have been by far the best 8 months of my life. While we have been through some really rough stuff, we have never had to wonder if we were there for each other. We have always been there for each other and we always will be. From our two in the morning runs to get hot chocolate from McDonalds to our drives around Taylor County to just enjoy the view to watching Fixer Upper together on Netflix and dreaming about our future house and our future kids. Your laughter and happiness brings my so much joy in life. You give me yet another reason to wake up everyday with a smile on my face.

To the guy that sleeps on my couch, I know I have already called you the logical one of our group, but you have no idea how much I appreciate you. From helping me with homework, fantasy drafts, band practices, laundry, Magic, and from keeping me company when I am bored out of my mind and everyone else is busy, you are definitely one of my best friends. We may have only known each other for a little over a year, but during this past year we have bonded so much. Starting with the first day of Band Camp and twin day of that same week where we accidentally twinned from head to toe (and from then on out we got mixed up by people so much), we have been two peas of a pod. There is so much that I could share but the important stuff is locked away where it belongs, in our memories and in our friendship.

To all the people that I met this year and have become friends with, thank you to each and everyone one of you. There are two many for me to name off without risking missing one of you, but I just want you all to know that you mean everything to me. I cannot wait to see where the future takes each and every one of us.

Thank you to every one of you for changing my life and how I think and how I act. You have each helped me grow up in your own way and I can’t say thank you enough. So to the people that changed my life, thank you.
