God has truly blessed me with an amazing group of friends at home. I've grown up with most of them, but if we haven't known each other for years, we've at least learned a lot and grown together. I guess you could call them family more than friends. We pretty much spend most of our free time together...going to the movies or to Friendly's after youth group (or any church event), hanging out at someone's house...we just love spending time together! The best part about our friendships, though, is that we are always there to support one another, no questions asked. We've gone through a lot together over the years, but it's only made us closer!

Because I'm so close to my friends at home, the thought of coming to college and making new friends was a little nerve-wracking. But God has been so faithful...even though I've only known them for one year, I have a family in my friends here at school. And of course I can never imagine life without them now!
