The people who help me through life...

"I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I do not believe I deserved my friends"
                          -Walt Whitman-

I believe that I have some of the greatest people in the whole world in my 
life right now...
These are the people that I can be around and be myself, and the people
I can tell anything to, and the people I can cry for hours on.  
These are the people that have stuck with me even when I hurt them 
or was being stupid.  There is nothing I could ever do to repay 
these select few but I will do anything in my power to make sure 
they know how much they mean to me... 

 
Laura Gotschall (Brian Gotschall; middle and Me; right.)
  Laura is my little sister, we used to fight a lot and I always knew we'd 
grow up hating each other. That is exactly what DIDN'T happen.  
Laura is my best friend in the whole world.  
Laura has tought me the meaning of real love and forgivness. 
Though we still fight more often than I'd like to, we always forgive 
each other in the end.  Laura is the only person who knows 
everything there is to know about me and she's probably the only person who
ever will.  
There aren't nearly enough words to say how much this girl means to me, 
and I hope she knows it, even if I can't say it...
 

 
Christine Lotz
 Christine is the most beautiful girl I know. She is also the most sincere, 
and honest and trustworthy friend you will ever have. Though she is sometimes 
too trusting, she isn't easily hurt.  She is the perfect balance in everything. 
Christine is one of the only people I can just sit down and talk for HOURS to
without getting bored or getting in an argument. Our personalities are soo 
much alike it's scary sometimes.=) Everyone should have a best friend like 
Christine....

 
Nathan Graham
  Nathan Graham is a guy I met at Denny's.  Though it was just a crush at
first, Nathan has become one of the best friends I have ever had.  He is so 
honest and open and loving that he amazes me more and more each time I see him.
Nathan, though he sometimes rambles=), is always good if you need a talk, or 
even better if you just need someone to hold you when you are upset. More people
love him than he knows what to do with and he's an AMAZING writer and musician.
He has gorgeous hair, and amazing eyes.  I love Nathan with all my heart and he
is the only guy that I can be GUARANTEED will be in my life forever...


 
Samuel Poindexter (and my sister, Laura Gotschall)
  Sam is my best male friend for the time being.  He's always there to knock 
sense into you when you really need it...and there for a hug when you had a 
bad day.  Sam has been hurt badly and in a way I think has become more loving
and accepting through the whole ordeal. Sam can be your best friend in the 
whole world but watch out if you plan on pissing him off because he can get
MAD=) What I really love about Sam is his passion and love for God.  He loves
and will serve him with all his heart until the day he dies and can be with 
him. I love Sam probably more than he knows..or ever will...


 
Shannon Miller
  Shannon is Nathan's best friend/roommate/well there are more titles but I
don't have time to type them all..=) Shannon is one of the most caring people
you will ever meet and if you get into her heart and become her friend, you are
a really lucky person...(I still haven't gotten there yet..i'm trying..=)
Shannon is a wonderful mother...and she blames everything on me. She is always 
good to be around if you need to smile, or laugh...because she is always willing
to make fun of you until you can't do anything BUT laugh. Even though Shannon
doesn't know it I love her very much and I look foreward to living with her 
someday...


Jessica Iverson
  Jessica has been one of my best friends for years now...most of the time lately
we haven't gotten along though...Something happened and we are farther apart
now then we ever have been, and I hate being that way with the people I love.
Jessica is really sweet for the most part and she is very giving. I love her 
a lot..even though it may not seem like it a lot of the time...

 
Brian St. John (and my friend Mark Klenk; right)
  Brian is one of the coolest people I know...over the last few years I've 
grown to trust him and (even though he hates hearing this) even love him a 
little bit...Brian is an AMAZING guitar player, and he's a great person to 
hang out with. Brian writes really cool poetry and he's a good artist...
