Long Live

"...'cause for a moment a band of thieves in ripped up jeans got to rule the world..." 

The class of 2012 in a song lyric. Right there. We are the band of thieves in ripped up jeans. The other day we had our meeting with Jostens. In case you don't know what Jostens is, they are the company that supplies all our graduation needs; rings, caps and gowns, invites, and so on. Well we're sitting there...and out of nowhere, Kasey says, "You know by this time next year we won't be seeing each other everyday." I literally started crying...

This statement got me thinking. I'm so excited to leave but I am going to miss some people. Granted not EVERYONE and some more than others. Nonetheless I will definitely miss a handful of people.

Main? The Fulcer family. Josh and Annemarie Fulcer. Mrs. and Mr. Fulcer. They are all so wonderful. No matter what they always opened me with open arms. Josh? Well he's been already spoken of in a previous post. But to sum it all up he's about the most perfect man (and I say man for a reason) you'll ever meet. "I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you"

Annemarie? She's wonderful...:) She's like my baby sister. I can't imagine life without her. That's why I'm going to skype her every single night I'm gone. I just can't picture life without seeing her face every single morning. She always has a BEAUTIFUL smile on her face and whenever I'm lonely or having a bad day she always cheers me up. I'm gonna miss her so much...:( You take it from here darling. I have faith in you. "It was the end of a decade but the start of an age"






Then there's the Fay's. Oh my gosh. I will miss that family so much. Mrs. Fay is so wonderful and treats me like a third daughter. Mr. Fay is hilarious. Becca is so stinking funny!! But there's Jessica Fay. Jessica "Sweetheart" Fay. I swear there's gold where her heart should be. She's the most incredible person you will ever meet. She fights side by side with me in this battle called life. She's gotten me through more issues than George Washington got his troops through. She's helped me see myself as more than the devil tried to make me believe I was. Other than Jesus Christ and my parents, she's been the most supportive person in my life for who I am. "Long live all the magic we made and bring on all the pretenders I'm not afraid..."




Then there's Kasey Boettcher. She's great. She's crawled out of her hid-a-hole since freshman year. Me and Jess get credit for that. She's a reader, writer, and secret poet by night...or more specifically 2 a.m. She's our Asian Angel...:) Beautiful child that she is...yet she refuses to believe it. I'll miss having the crazy romantic alongside all my crazy antics...:( "I was screamin' long live, that look on your face..."




And of course where in the flipping world would I be without my baby freshmen? I still call them my baby freshmen even though they're seniors next year...OH GOSH! I can't even say that without tearing up...it's their time to shine now and they're going to be beacons for EVERYTHING they do. They will shine the light of Christ everywhere they walk. They will shine the love in their hearts. They will go so much farther than anyone will ever expect! and trust me...people already expect them to go REALLY far...:) "Hold on just spinnin' around..."


You may be wondering why in the world I would even be writing all this long before graduation. Here's how I look at it. In our senior letters we only get so much space. I want to let the important people in my life know how much I SINCERELY care about them. And I figure...this is the add on to that senior letter. I want this to be an outward confession and reminder of what a blessing all these people are in my life...I love you all. Thank you for shaping me into the person I am today. There will be more people to come...not to worry!

"May these memories break our fall"
