stole of gratitude

This is my friend Danielle. Oh! Wait what? I want to note that I have been lucky to have many amazing friends that I can laugh and cry with but I wanted to take a moment to dedicate this post all to Danielle, so that everyone (and by everyone I mean anyone that reads this on purpose or by accident) knows how great she is. She and I have gone to school together on and off since 8th grade, and although we drifted apart for one reason or another throughout that period, we've been great friends ever since we both found out we would be going into architecture. Little did we know this one little thing called architecture would be the root of a great friendship and hundreds of adventures and lasting life long memories. Here is just a small collection in no particular order of just some of the great times we've had together over the past 5 or so years, and as I look at all of them I can't believe how much fun we've had together, and can't wait to see what the future holds. What this post can't show is all the time we've spent laughing til we cry over poop stories, ostrich clad boot wearing police officer videos, saying stupid funny words, and oh so many other things. I want to thank her for laughing, crying, mocking, and helping me through all of my life and school stress, but also for challenging me to think in different ways about things. She is one of the people I trust most in the world. Although she knows I am too cheap to actually purchase a physical 'stole of gratitude' I hope she know how important she's been and continues to be in my life. While looking through all these photos, you may notice that unlike many Danielle takes her moment in front of the camera very seriously, and while some may shy away she takes the chance to strike the pose of a lifetime! Thanks for being such a great friend, snarflesnookumpoop-pie! Over and out.
