I will see you again

Three days ago, I said goodbye to one of my best friends in the whole entire world, and it was one of the hardest things I've ever done. We talked. We laughed. We cried. It was the most bittersweet mix of emotions. It was a night I didn't want to end, but goodbye arrived and we couldn't escape its undeniable reality. As I watched him drive away, I was in awe of the peace that filled my soul. I thought I knew for certain I would be falling apart at the seams, but in that moment, I was miraculously being held together by the Spirit of the Lord.

 

Here I am, a few days later, and it is really, really hard. I already miss him terribly. But when I really stop and think about it, I wouldn't have it any other way. It's difficult now, but I know without a doubt it will get easier as time goes on.

 

Today he embarks on a new adventure -- one in which he will serve the Lord and the people of McAllen, Texas. They truly have no idea how lucky they are. They are incredibly blessed to be the ones he has been sent to, to bring the light and joy of the gospel into their lives. He is going to do phenomenal things; I have no doubt about that. :)

 

 

For the next two and a half years, we will be on our own adventures writing the next few chapters of our stories. I am so excited to see what life has in store for each of us and see the change that takes place within each of our lives--a change for the better. It is going to be so amazing, and so absolutely worth it. And until then, I hold onto the knowledge that I will, one day, see him again.

 

 

"I will see you again; this is not where it ends.

I will carry you with me 'til I see you again."

All my love,

Brianna <3

Noah

It was during the course of Prom this year that I came to realize something. One of my best friends, Noah, who I have gone with to three formal high school dances, has been there for me from the moment we became friends. But you know what is amazing? As I started to think about it more in depth, each of the dances I went to with him represent a different stage in my life. Let me show you.

 

 

Preference. Junior year. December 2012.

Notice my long, pretty, curled hair. :)

 

 

 

Homecoming. Senior Year. September 2013.

This time, with most of my hair gone, with what remained

tied off to the side, in a curled ponytail.

 

 

And last, but not least:

Prom. Senior year. April 2014.

A pixie cut. :)

 

You can see the stages physically, just by looking at my hair. But what I find most amazing is that these were three extremely pivotal times in my life, when I was going through difficult trials. To me, this is just another piece of evidence that Noah has been one of my truest friends--there for me through thick and through thin.

 

I will forever be grateful for his friendship and the support he has always given me, especially during the hardest and darkest times of my life. :)

 

"A best friend isn't just someone who's always there for you. It's someone who understands you a bit more than you understand yourself."

 

Thanks for visiting my blog--come back soon! :)

Cambri

So, I have this friend, and her name is Cambri.  She is absolutely amazing and beautiful inside and out.  She is also a light and example to all those around her.  She and I share the same birthday, and ever since we met and found that out, we just clicked.  We are both very passionate about music.  She left for college back in January and I miss her so very much.  We still keep in touch, but I miss seeing her beautiful face and smile often.

Before the holidays, we had been trying to get together to hang out for FOREVER and we finally did.  I had the best time eating frozen yogurt, playing games, and talking to her.  It is a memory I will cherish forever.

She is still in the middle of a semester but she came down to visit last weekend and we got to sit, talk, and catch up on the last few months of our lives. It was so good to see her and I was reminded of how much I love this incredible girl. :)

 

I love you Cambri!! I look up to and love you so much! You are amazing!! :D

 

Lots of Love, Brianna
