In a few short days, two of my best friends are going to be graduating.

Having lived with Kelsey and Jami for the last year, I can truly attest to how miraculous it is that we made it to this day. From all the late-night study sessions to failed baking attempts, it's honestly a miracle we are all alive and the house is still standing. Now, I truly won’t have anyone to go on late night taco bell missions with me and I really don’t know what I’ll do. Over the last year, living together has brought us so much closer together and I’m so thankful for that.

Jami, you’re simultaneously the most extra and basic person I’ve ever met but without you next year I’m going to be missing half of my closet. But honestly, Jami you have been one of my closest confidants throughout college, and I’m so proud of you for all you’ve accomplished the last four years.

I’ve truly seen the Lord work through you in your ministry and your daily walk with him is one that I seek to emulate. I’m so grateful for the love and friendship you’ve given me the last two years.

Lil Kels Girly! I’m not going to miss your drama and your insanely easy gag reflex next year. I will never forget the time that you simply opened the dishwasher and then proceeded to gag for like fifteen minutes. But really, I am so proud of you and I know in the bottom of my heart that you are going to absolutely kill it next year in New York City.

You’ve been someone that I can spill my guts to and you always seem to know exactly what to say. I’m thankful for all the honest conversations we’ve had and I’m going to miss the way that you always point me toward the Lord.

I will never forget the random Thursday night that we all decided to go fountain hopping. We realized that jumping in the Westcott fountain was on your senior bucket list so we jumped in my car and started at the stadium, then Landis and finally we ended the night at Westcott all soaking wet.

We quickly realized that we had completely forgotten a towel but the memories were well worth it. It is a night that will stay burned in my memory- and my car seats- and truly seems to embody our time together as roommates. Slightly crazy, spontaneous and always fun.

I’m not going to miss having to drive halfway across town to let you guys in the house when you get locked out and I’m really not going to miss you guys making me spend all my money on endless target runs and late-night hangs at MadSo and but I am going to miss you guys.

Even though we are going to be separated by thousands of miles instead of a few walls and doors, I will never forget the time that we spent together. You guys have truly made an impact on me and helped shape me into the person I am today. Although the family picture over the fireplace is going to change, you guys will always have a place here on Sharon Rd. So, cheers! Here’s to a flipping good year!
