This is lacy


Lacy was the first person I met in my sorority. Oddly enough we met because she walked up to me and said, “Do you know Emily Alexander? I went to a camp with her and I think ive seen pictures of you.” 

Just the fact that she knew one of the sweetest sould meant this was bound to be an amazing friendship. Lacy is the type of person not only to work hard with whatever she has in store but to work above and beyond crushing expectations. Her work ethic is unlike anything I have ever seen. 

This past year I begin to train for a half marathon that benefited a hospital I was a patient in as a child. This run meant so much to me. As I told lacy and our other bestie, Lauren—they immediately decided to run it with me. We begin to train and run almost 5 days a week for two straight months. This is the type of person she is. The type of person to always be there for a friend—working hard and doing what others wouldn’t. 

Lacy opens her home to her friends always wanting them to feel loved and welcomed. She cherishes her relationships with people. And while she’ll tell you that she doesn’t really have emotion homegirl has the biggest heart so don’t let her try to tell you that. 

This year Lacy had an uprising with her faith. After flooding her life with “things” to do and people to not disappoint—she finally broke. Lacy has a tendency to carry the world on her shoulders. Y’all, that is something that is so hard on the mental, physical, and emotional state. I know because I am very similar in that way. Lacy began to trust that God has a bigger plan. His plans for her life are bigger than her involvement on Earth. She began to give him some of the weight on her shoulders AND SHE IS SO MUCH HAPPIER. I could immediately tell the next day after she finally broke. She was a new person all because she turned and trusted. 

A little about Lacy:

·     Lacy is so very sweet. She is a wonderful friend, listener, daughter, cousin, and soul—always putting others first
·     She is one smart KAT. Lacy works extremely hard academically to push her limits and be better than expected 
·     Lacy is super healthy. I have never met anyone who eats as much fruit as her. Like seriously. And to add to that she also works out every day. SHE HAS A TREADMILL IN HER ROOM. Okay. 
·     Watching her actively pursue her faith and grow her relationship with God is AMAZING 
·     Homegirl is a hobby lobby décor queeeeeen. Her house might be the cutest house I’ve ever been in and I’m surprised she isn’t sponsored by now
·     Hard worker—enough said. 
Lacy gal you are so so loved and I am so glad you walked into my life. I love you 
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...
