meredithfields[edney]

the story: meredith is one of my sister's dearest friends and sorority sisters at samford. i felt like i knew meredith before i even started school because mary austin talked about her so much. when i got to samford i was so excited when i ran into a girl who knew my name and who i assumed (for some reason) was my sister's roommate, sarah. we had what was probably a very confusing conversation, then i realized much too late that i had been talking to meredith! i was mortified, but meredith didn't care! i definitely know who she is now -- one of my favorite girls!

you [hate]: inconsideration.

with the REAL sarah trotti.
your [purpose]: glorify the Lord in all that i do.

your [influence]: my dad, he gives and serves others more than anyone i have ever met. he gives his time to serve people in his own context and outside his context. he challenges me in all areas of my life and keeps me accountable to serving and giving to others.

your [escape]: driving at night. i could do it for hours.

with roommate anna.

your [vices]: grilled cheese! i can never get enough. listening to usher songs put to jazz music.

your [location]: samford university. i am an education major and hoping to get a job in the birmingham area in the years to come.

you [are]: competent.


mere, you embody the word "delightful." you are as sweet as they come and spending time around you is an absolute pleasure. you are so easygoing, content, pure-hearted, joyful, and just plain happy. plus i can't recall ever hearing you complain or gossip, and i know that's because your beautiful heart only pours out beautiful things. that's probably why your eyes are so pretty -- because they're the windows to that pretty soul. you are wonderful multiplied by a thousand. i am blessed that i get to be your friend. stay happy in Him, my splendid girl.


you are [delightful].

god is merciful.

johngoodson[mclemore] 

the story: if i haven't known goodson my whole life, i must not have been cognitively aware when we met. our families are old friends and we've gone to the same church for a long, long time. goodson and i now both attend samford (where he's a year ahead of me), and i'm having fun watching this boy grow into a bigger boy. we laugh together, we sing together, and (most importantly) we eat together. 

your [soundtrack]: "arizona" by kings of leon, "blue moon" by dean martin, "don't let me down" by the beatles, "where to begin" by my morning jacket, "john wayne gacy, jr." by sufjan stevens, "gimme one reason" by tracy chapman.

goody, you're my brother. i really can't express how much you mean to me or how much you've added to my childhood. you're completely odd, but that's the best thing about you. your tomfoolery makes me laugh harder than almost anyone, but you display an incredible emotional, artistic, and spiritual depth, as well. some of my best memories involve you (who will ever forget our day at universal?!), and i thank you immensely for being such a good part of my life and of the human race. i am very, very proud of who you've been, who you are, and who you're becoming. i believe in you. stay good, my extraordinary boy.

you're the best date, duh.
you are [delightful].
