She knew me as a freshman and has continued to be my friend through all the changes that life brings.She has walked through the silly times, the serious times and continues to walk alongside of me.
We've had big hair and perms....short hair and long...
We've had big hair and perms....short hair and long...
We've never lived nearby each other....too many miles apart to measure, but the bond that makes us friends can't be severed by mere miles
Praying for each other over the phone, crying over hurts and wounds, giggling till the tears flow, checking on kids and planning the next get together...
There is a deep well within her that uplifts and encourages, hard on herself but abundantly generous to her friends with her time, talent and treasures. Always there, always ready to listen, always ready to bless.
Always done to the best of her ability...she's a thinker and a finisher...beautiful in all she does. Anything that comes from her hands is a treasure and a keepsake.
She makes me want to be better than I am, she inspires greatness!
There have been surprises and disappointments, new babies and forever goodbyes all shared over the years.
Scrapbooking, card making, sharing tips and techniques, cross stitching, knitting and blogging - outlets and passions ignited by one and then shared by the other.
We've pondered theology, marriage, raising children, life, pets, sports, politics, and even seed stitch!
More than just surface friends, our lives are intertwined in a forever kind of way.
More than two decades of my life have been lived with Kristyn as my best friend.
Blessed beyond measure. I love her like a sister and I am a richer person having her as my friend. I will forever be grateful for this gift from God of her. Happy Birthday dear friend! I love you! May the year ahead hold blessings from the Lord for you and your family! I'll be right there cheering you on!
