If friends were flowers, I'd pick you. ;)

First of all... IT'S WINTER BREAK! That's exciting, right? No school till January 10th. :)

I want to talk about a few of by best gal pals. My friends are everything to me and I am so lucky to have so many awesome friends from my PV days and now also at UNI.

My Girls:
- Jonelle Addabbo (Jonelley Belly): One of my very best friends since elementary school, and one of the only people I've never gotten in a fight with.  :) She does a lot for me and is one person who can always make me laugh. Aaaand she's coming to visit me at UNI next month!

- Abby Sperry (Wabby): Best friends since 2nd grade! We have always been inseparable and it's been really hard being away from this girl since moving to Cedar Falls. Abby and I have basically grown up together and I'm super excited to hang out with her over break because I've missed her so much!

- Leah Christensen (Tenor Madness): Words can't express how much I love this girl. She has the best sense of humor and every time I'm with her I always end up on the floor laughing. In high school, we were known as the dynamic duo, always bugging our band directors and such. I can't wait to hang with her soon!

- Amy Skjerseth (Ames): I am so blessed to have Amy and the entire Skjerseth family in my life. They are like my second family and do so much for me. Amy has been a mentor to me since high school. She talks me through my problems, especially music ones. She is such an amazing musician (she studies oboe at Eastman!) and an even better friend. :)

- Katie Cleppe (Kitty): Where do I begin with this girl? The Cleppe family is by far the most entertaining family I have ever met. We basically have our own language with words such as dunders, teekly chin, and caslopus. Kitty is now my big shot Chicago girl, studying fashion at Dominican University. Yep, she's pretty awesome. :) And she's coming home today!

- Leah Schmidt (Schleah): This girl is one of the best friends a gal can ask for. She's in the trumpet studio at UNI with me and is known for being crazy and loud, but that's why we love her. She even takes care of all of our drunk asses when we party a little too hard. :)

- Erin Maltby (Ern): Literally the nicest person I've ever met. Erin is so sweet to everyone and has such a vibrant personality. And she has a super cool twin named Jill! She is always there for me when I need someone to talk to. Sometimes my ridiculous public laughter embarrasses her, but she loves me. :)

- Madeline (Mads): Two words... GIANT TITS! We have the special "giant tits" bond, which is pretty awesome. This girl is such an amazing musician. She blows me away with her bari sax skillzzz in jazz band. She's also another great friend. Really supportive and definitely fun to hang out with.

- CAROLINE HLOHOWSKYJ: Caroline is seriously the coolest gal I've ever met. We are basically the same person. She's in the trumpet studio with me and we are very rarely seen apart from one another. I have never laughed so hard until I met this bitch. I honestly believe we were separated at birth, and so does everyone else. Everyone needs a Caroline Hlohowskyj in their lives. BRONER.

Well, those are some of my crazy friends! Much of who I am is because of these guys and I love them all, including the many many friends who I didn't list but still hold a special place in my heart. :)

K bye
