ODE TO CRISTEN
Countless memories: Late night talks. Many of which were in the kitchen of a dorm or apartment. Freshman year Bible study. MGL fun. Snow ball fights on Hillside. Tacky roller skating. Later made famous to all on the web by Schuman. D-Hall. College crushes. Summer fun camp in the 'burg. Living with the Crabtrees. Sharing a room. Seeing all the poor guys that thought they could win your heart. Excursions to the water tower. Creative dates with the Mullet suite. Loud alarm clocks and flying veggie tales. Spooning. Guys dressing up in our winter scarves and gloves just to make us laugh. And turning our worlds upside down. Where exactly did our fish go? Salsamerengue dances with latino club. F & G. Climbing the bell tower. Panama city. That stupid Geology class. Those darn rocks. Forking. Carving pumpkins and late night movies. Rock house parties and Rootbeer keggers at Halloween. 625 boys and their fishtank foyer. Oh how we clowned Ogle. Corolla '03. News from abroad! What's this- Johnny and Cristen? At Reddish knob? Letters back and forth from Venezuela. Your graduation. Summer Wedding. Fall Wedding. Your wedding. My wedding. New Years reunions. Baby shower after baby shower... then Babies babies babies!!Play dates and M2M studies. Girl nights and car chats.
Cristen you've give me so many countless memories! I pray God would give us countless more!

Too funny! Thanks for being a great friend! I'm gonna refer to this on my blog for anyone who wants to see a blast from the past (aka interesting pictures of Cristen over the years!)! :) Thanks for the birthday shout-out!
Krisha,
Thanks for putting that on your blog. You are a sweet friend to Cristen. I am so glad you all share in such a special friendship...made so much sweeter by your common bond in Christ. I enjoyed reading your tribute and looking at the photos. Greg and I love you too, and enjoyed getting to see your sweet little buddy at Cristen's party. I know Greg was tickled when he let him hold him.
