you've got a friend in me


this is my friend anna. she is my best friend from high school. the first time i saw her on a cold winter day, i thought "she is really pretty, i want to be her friend". 

we have had some really amazing times together, to name a few: two fray concerts (amazing), dance parties in her beach home, laying in the grass together, road trips across the country (coming soon), video chats, climbing seven falls in the middle of the winter, her wedding, and so much more I can't even count!!! 

this woman inspires me. i am so encouraged by her heart for Jesus. besides being slightly bitter she got married before me, i am incredibly proud to call her friend. haha. she is one amazing wife, friend, sister, daughter, aunt, granddaughter and beloved of Jesus. she is such a strong person, her husband of 11 months is in Iraq and this whole time she perseveres. she draws closer to Jesus as her all in this time that "normal" woman would be freaking out and hating life. anna is not "normal". lol. against all odds, she believes. she believes God has a plan. she believes God knows her heart. she doesn't just speak truth, she believes and lives truth. she tells me like it is, she is one of the reasons I am who I am today. 

thank you anna, i love you.

favorite anna quote: you know the e-mails i hate? the ones that say "everyone needs a smile and then has all these pictures of animals in weird positions". hahahaha

    You've got a friend in me
    You've got a friend in me
    When the road looks rough ahead
    And you're miles and miles
    From your nice warm bed
    Just remember what your old pal said
    Boy, you've got a friend in me
    You've got a friend in me
    You've got a friend in me
    You've got a friend in me
    You've got troubles, well I've got 'em too
    There isn't anything I wouldn't do for you
    We stick together and we see it through
    You've got a friend in me
    You've got a friend in me

    Some other folks might be
    A little bit smarter than I am
    Bigger and stronger too
    Maybe
    But none of them will ever love you the way I do
    It's me and you
    And as the years go by
    Boys, our friendship will never die
    You're gonna see
    It's our destiny
    You've got a friend in me
    You've got a friend in me
    You've got a friend in me
