There's three "boys" in my life that have been really influential in my life within the past month for sure but also within the past few years of life.
First: This is Mike, we've been acquaintance's for a while but probably really became friends recently. He was also the leader of the TEC that I just made and he really is truly fun to be around. He likes to make fun of you, but it's in a fun jesting manner. And you can dish it back and it just becomes an all out "battle" of who can have the best non-hurtful digs. For example back when I first got my license like 4 years ago (holy crap, it doesn't seem right!) his words to me were "man I better stay off the roads now!" And that's pretty much how our relationship started. Which from what I've heard is a common trend with others too. This guy is just so easy to talk to, some adults seem kind of crabby and don't like "kids" (i'm in that awkward phase where I'm not really a kid but I don't really consider myself a full fledged adult either) but best of all he's going on the mission trip with me this summer and I can't wait for that! We've already made plans to sit by each other while white-water rafting and I said that if he tries to push me in he's come with me because I want him to experience the fun too!
Mainly though what's so great about him is how caring he is: After the TEC weekend we became full fledged BFF's (as opposed to facebook bff's which we previously were) and he sent me this text on Wednesday (preface: I've been sick for a week or two with a head/chest cold and he knew this because I had no voice at church last sunday) it said: " I'm worried about you. How are you feeling? You must of just dropped off your mother at generations the other night. Cuz i didn't see you after that. I hiope you are doing well. I need a hug from my new bff. " It just put a smile on my face to know that someone outside of my family really cares about me enough to send me a text and ask how I'm feeling.
Oh Greggy-pie! He's my co-worker and we mesh really well together. We're a lot alike. We have the same sense of humor, we're both shy, and we both dislike the same people at work for virtually the same reason just to list a few. I'm not sure how our friendship came to be what it is but I'm really glad I got to know Greg. My life at work would definitely not be the same. We text on a regular basis about life, or about music. I send him pictures of my speedometer while i'm going 0mph on the freeway because I'm stuck in rush hour traffic and won't be moving for the next half hour or so. He compares me to soccer moms because of my mini-van but then I defend myself saying that I don't wear mom jeans or talk on my cell phone while going well below the speed limit. But most of all he let's me rant to him about life and how sometimes I just don't like what life's dealing me at the moment. And he does the same, we both can listen to each other and relate really well. And this photo is him in a nutshell, he rarely can take a normal picture he always smiles funny or has extraneous things he's wearing.
Oh Troy Bauer: This is pretty much us in a nutshell. We're kind of wild and crazy together he'll make fun of me but then I bring up the fact that he still doesn't have his license and ceases pretty much all digs he makes at me. haha =] He's pretty much my best friend and I really can't imagine life/church without him. Through the past year we've grown pretty close. This past fall he was one of the main people that helped me this fall when I wasn't going to school. He kind of helped me realize that yes, it's okay to take a break from school even if it's not the "normal" thing to do. I talk to him about pretty much everything. I'm more than excited to be able to go on my fourth mission trip with him and more than that I'm just really excited that he's so open to serving God. It's not something you see in a highschool boy that often but he's proud of it. And even more important he's LEADING a mission trip to Red Lake this summer. What 18 year old boy do you know that willingly leads a mission trip?! 
These three boys mean the world to me and I honestly couldn't imagine where I would be without the help of each of these people! They will each forever have a place in my heart. (as cheesy as that sounds)
