Dedication
when we finish school and move to Seattle. Here's to a townhouse together! Laura, my love, you are like the older sister I never had. Thank you for putting my life in perspective when I need, for always offering a hug, and for listening to me blubber on the phone when life got too stressful for me to handle alone. Olivia, darling dearest, here's to tea in the mornings, drinking (pretty much anywhere) before class, to freaking bomb pizza at Hot Lips, and being there for me when I have a million bazillion questions about life. I love you three and I don't know what I'm going to do without you after this. Pact right now, meet at least once every two months when we finally all move away. Okay? Okay. Siri, Sarah, Maddie & Derrick: If anyone here deserves a medal for putting up with all of my complaining (and for being the resulting collateral damage of me working, going to school, and dealing with life) it's you four. You guys are some of the most wonderful people I've had the pleasure of knowing and Starbucks is very, VERY, lucky to have you. I wish for Siri to travel and go back to school for what she wants to do. I wish for Sarah to not stress out over wedding stuff (and if that's too much to ask) for her and Andrew to live happily ever after. I wish for Maddie to get the hell out of PSU and get on with what she needs to do! Which probably includes some adorable kittens and a boy named Cory. I wish for Derrick to get his big break and the job of his dreams and for him and Kelsey to have drinks every night under their pergola. Jared, Andrew, Brian, JZ, CZ, Amanda, Cassie, Michelle, David, Andrew, Katie, Danae, Kristi, and Wayvid Dennigman: Seriously you guys? How lucky am I? You are family to me, every last one of you, and you're the best thing to happen to me since I've met Mike. There's nothing that I can't come to you guys with and your always treating me like I've been around since the beginning. Boys, you're like the brothers I've never had (that I've always wanted) and you let me be gross if I want to. Thank you for helping me with guy stuff when I don't understand. Ladies, oh my lord. Some of our conversations have been the best I've ever had. You understand me for me and are there for me at the drop of a hat. I've added some sisters to the best friend category. Here's to more camping trips, more drinking, more weddings, more running around on sand dunes at midnight, more punching giant Hersey's bars, more hugs, more laughter, and more memories: just live your life! I LOVE YOU ALL!
