lyds & caleb

don't know if it's the nyquil or the nyquil mixed with my so far twenty hour day (i promise to the baby Jesus himself that is NO exaggeration), but this is about to get real sappy and i've got pictures to boot.



i'm sure if you have ever read anything i've written, you've seen me mention lyds or lydia. she is one in the same, but i prefer her as lyds. my little brother started the nick name years ago and it stuck. she is my home away from home friend. i've never ever known someone like her. she is shy and quiet to so many people, and to me - not at all. i can't even begin to tell you how much i love and respect this girl. she is beautiful, funny, artsy, so fun to be around, a smartass, wise, and she's my best friend. she stands by my side when she doesn't agree with me, and when she does. she tells me like it is and she is all the things i hope you have in a best friend.



i remember when we were sixteen maybe? fifteen? no clue. we were at some dumb concert and there was this guy she was supposed to meet up with, but she was really nervous. she asked me to go with her to meet him and i of course said yes. we did and i liked him for her right away. i don't know when i realized it, but it wasn't long after i felt like he was going to be around for a while.

they have been dating for three and a half years and i have been asking caleb for a while now when he was going to propose. well last weekend they came to stay with me and have fun and while we were standing in a packed train car i just looked at lyds and started to tear up. i just started thinking of the dorks that we were/are and how young we were when we became friends and now, she is all growed up. and she's probably getting married soon. well, when they got back, he popped the question! so she IS getting married soon! i almost cried when lyds called me with the news. my best friend is SO happy, which means i am SO happy.



i love caleb too. they are a perfect fit. they are fun, funny, and ready to take on the next adventure in their lives. i can't wait to support them in this new endeavor. i love you guys.

Maybe you'll want to add a facebook icon to your site. Just marked down this blog, but I must do it manually. Simply my suggestion.
