This is Gracie 



Gracie is a storyteller. I have never heard someone tell as interesting stories as this gal. By being a story teller she lives a life worth telling. 

Grace has taught me that anything that I don’t like I don’t have to put up with. I often hear her tell me “that’s not okay” usually masked in the phrase “that ain’t it”. She truly cares for her friends and when something is off she’ll tell you. Many times this year she has set me straight and I am so very thankful for it. Without her I’d be putting up with things not worth putting up with. She has taught me the importance of strong will. 

Gracie is also a friend, sister, daughter, jokester, and liver. She is a friend to many. She cares about her people and guards them with great love. She is a sister to little Hope. Grace and Hope are sister with a decent age difference. Their names truly portray their character. Gracie loves and protects her littles sister so well. It is amazing to hear about and see how much she strives to be a good big sister. She’s a daughter of the King and a daughter to her wonderful parents. And like I mentioned above, she’s a liver—not like the body part BUT a person who sets out to live life and not just watch it go by. 

Gracie inspires me to step out of my comfort zone and live—to do what I want to do and not let anyone hold me back. 

She is truly an angel. 

Gracie, you are so so loved and I am so gracious that you and I became friends. I cannot wait to see how your life lays out. Thank you for telling great stories and inspiring people to be better. 
Just a girl who likes to crack some jokes, make you laugh, and loves her fam bam and friends.

                             Imagine this: a tall, awkward girl with arms and legs longer than the neck of a giraffe begins to make her way towards you—you are unsure if she is trying to dance, spazzing out, or if her shoes are too big and she's just tripping over the obvious flat ground. ME. That's me coming toward you making incoherent sounds (beep bop, bglaahhh, skzzztttt) mouth gaping open and eyes wide.  I'm coming to you with a joy from the Holy Spirit, a heart full of love, and more puns and dad jokes than even my mom can handle. I do this by being myself and not anybody else, by letting out the goofy side, and striving to do my favorite t hing—making others laugh.  If you know me, you know that my favorite quote is " walk towards love and away from fear .” I was told this about a year and a half ago by one of my favorite people in the world, Vonya Eudy, who is filled with w...

This is Catherine  Called “Cathy” by her close friends. Cathy is my best friend. You can betcha this girl made my life better. Cathy and I became close friends the last two years of high school. We have some memories together that can’t ever be taken away. I LOVE this girl.  Catherine is a hard worker. Whatever task she is given you better believe it’ll be done to the full potential. Through One Act, she was viewed as one of the greatest leaders. Catherine is a leader who will never disappoint. She leads with grace, integrity, and passion for the job at hand. Not only is she a leader but an encourager. Through hard times, good times, sporting events, rolled ankles, and just in general Cathy always has something to say that will boost you up.  The summer before we left for college Cathy and I had lots of deep conversations, drives around town, crying sessions, faith talks, and would even go swing at the park. She is a true friend. Always taking into cons...

This is Ellen Ellen is my big in Theta. When I first met her as my big I had no idea who she was. I tried so hard to look so happy and enthusiastic while at the same time trying to figure out what her name was. Even though I didn’t know her I felt in my heart that I already loved her. We turned and began awkwardly dancing at each other instead of speaking but that language was good enough for us both to know that it was a match.  Ellen is the blessing I never knew I needed. She is a role model and a mentor. Ellen has spent the majority of her summers working for Camp Ozark ministering to young children and serving as influence. Her fire and flame for her position here is so strong and so amazing.  This year I have had the opportunity to watch Ellen’s relationship with the Lord spark. I’m not even sure if she knows it has—but girly, it has. One day at bible study Ellen had an “ah haaa” moment when she discovered her relationship with Christ wasn’t just a “hey...
