Friends

Friends can be one of the best things that can ever happen to you. They make you laugh, make you cry (not me) and can be an all-around pleasant audience to have when you want to tell stories.

                          Elizabeth (orange), me (purple), and her black Lab, Pepper, at the beach. 

What I find absolutely hilarious, is how much my best friend (Elizabeth)  and I argue. Time and time again we have actually argued to the point of putting us both in silence. And that is usually hard to do. We could argue over some of the most ridiculous things and actually get mad about it. Of course, we always decide that it is dumb to argue about it, and we almost always end up laughing later on.

 But the best friend that I have is also really special. For the past five years, she has never strayed from me. She and I are practically joined at the hip when it comes to true friendship. For as long as I have known Elizabeth, she has always been the crazy one. Eli would be the one jumping off a 200-foot cliff into the water, while I am laying on the ground screaming that if she were to die, I would kill her later on. Of course, it would be horrible, and I would never really do it, but sometimes that is just how I think.

The most perfectly timed picture while at a museum. Yes, those objects we were allowed to play with.   

See, me and Elizabeth love each other in the way that best friends love each other. I don't think that there is one thing that could ever break us apart forever. Eli is the most adventurous, scary and unpredictable person I could ever know. She dreams of one day finding her own 'Tarzan', a good looking guy who loves her for her craziness, and he has to have big hands. Me, I'm still not sure. I can obviously create the perfect man in my head, but only God can make him come true.

                                   Being bored on a camping trip and entertaining ourselves. 


A few people that I know say that opposites attract, and I have to say that when it comes to Eli and me, we are a living example. I have always been the more quiet one, while Elizabeth is the one that makes me laugh to the point of my stomach hurting. She is crazy, while I am usually more subtle. And that is just what makes us the perfect thing. I couldn't have asked for a better friend, and these last few months have really made me thank God for the most perfect person He could possibly give me, who always surprises me in her faith and wisdom in the Lord.
