To Two of the Craziest People in My Life.

Today I had to say goodbye to two of my closest friends who are moving on to their new life together.  It's strange to say goodbye and know that they won't be ten to twenty minutes away, that they won't be across the room or down the hall when school starts, or at the apartment five minutes away from my work waiting to start an episode of our show...rather they will be eight hours away.  

I guess this is an aspect of life that I haven't been wanting to think about for a long time.  This is a letter to my two travelers... who in less than eight hours will be on the road to their new home...

Josh- I want you to know how much you truly mean to me.  You are my brother, my cohort in crime, but most of all you are my best friend.  You have been there for me since we've met, and I truly appreciate it.  I want you to know that because of you, I have been able to push myself farther than I would have expected myself to do.  Blame it on my competitive nature if you so desire, but I blame it on you.  You have gone so far and you have so much more ahead of you.  You have faced every challenge head-on, and that I greatly admire you for. You are one of the bravest people I know... I just wanted you to know that...

Christina- Although we weren't close friends in high school, our friendship through college has meant so much to me.  Through our late night talks and spazing moments we've formed a bond that is close to what I can only imagine as a sisterly bond.  I've come to rely on you for those talks and seeking advise that I know you would give.  I've relied on you a lot these last four years.  I know you might not believe me but I want you to know that you are a very intelligent woman who can do whatever you put your mind to.  You are also persistent and stubborn (in the good way) which contribute to doing whatever you put your mind to.  

You two are perfect for each other and I feel so honored to have witnessed your relationship grow these past four years.  I know this is going to sound cliche but you guys complete each other.

Be good to each other.
