and so is your face

Life is funny. It turns out so different than expected. Thank goodness, too, because I've got really low expectations. Really, really low. I didn't expect to run into anyone in high school that I could consider a good friend, much less my best friend. I didn't expect that that relationship would lead to others that have made my life so rich and blessed. I really didn't expect to be loved by anyone at all. And yet, through the good times, the bad, and even the gruesomely ugly, my two best, most wonderful friends have been there for me. They've rolled their eyes a lot (yeah, that's right, don't think i didn't see you), but despite everything I know they love me. And I love them more than I can say. It's been complicated, to say the least, but part of the incredible nature of these things is that you grow because of your failures. Every overreaction, inattention, and careless word has an incredulous way of making you realize how blessed you are to have anyone who will stand by your side through it all. And I've got two. Wow. You guys know who you are. I just want to say I love you both, and I'm going to miss you so much. If I could take you both with me, I would. We'd find some way to hide you in the dorm, and I'd smuggle food to you, and then we'd mess with the campus security guards and throw popcorn and leaves at the couples who don't know how to leave room for Jesus (hehehe). Guys, seriously, why are you not coming with me? We'd be so awesome... I guess we'll have to save it all for Christmas break. Don't forget me, because if you do I will come and find you in the middle of the night and scare you with a hockey mask. Oh yeah, that's right. You heard me.

No, but really, you guys have to visit. I'll even buy you smoothies. How can you turn down a deal like that?
