Lauren's Graduation

"A friend loves at all times..." - Proverbs 17:17

I met Lauren in June of 2007 at our New Student Conference for Texas A&M. I don't remember exactly what happened, but I know we sat through a whole dinner across the table from each other listening to some girl talk about how great she was (I wonder what happened to her). We gave each other that "oh brother" look a couple times. At the end I asked her what her name was and laughed because we had the same name. We became facebook friends and before school started Lauren called me to come to her dorm and hang out with her and her roommate. That first semester we had lunch together a few times every week and had a lot of good laughs at Sibisa Dining Hall. The rest is history... and kind of a blur to me. And today she has graduated from the greatest university in the world! WHOOP!!

Lauren is a one of a kind friend. She has been there for me through my best and hardest times at A&M. She has put up with me for 4 whole years... There should be some kind of award for that. I might seem like someone who is easy to get along with, but I would say that I'm easy to love until you get to know me. Lauren has helped show me what it means to be a friend and how to love someone like Christ loves on a daily basis. There is no way to say thank you to her for everything she has done for me.

Lauren!!! I am so proud of you and who you have become! There is so much for you to look forward to in the future!  I have cherished everyday of the last few years! Its hard for me to close this chapter of our friendship, I know there are many more great years to come! You deserve everything that you have earned! Congratulations, Lauren! I love you!

Here are a few of my favorites from Lauren's graduation.
