Biggest Fan: Amie

Today, I would like to introduce you to a member of the "Three Musketeers", a fabulous woman of God, and a great friend.



This. Is the beautiful, talented, and completely wonderful Amie.
Don't be alarmed by the gun and busted CD in the picture...she's really quite tame.
This gal is one of the most awesome, amazing, sweet, caring individuals I have ever met. 
Seriously. I don't think there are enough adjectives in the world to describe just how wonderful and amazing this woman is.


We met at the beginning of my freshman year of college, and together with her now fiance, became the Three Musketeers. She encouraged me to audition for Chamber Singers again in the spring, and we had the privilege to sing together during her last semester at Westminster. She loves music so very much and it's not uncommon to hear her bouncing around the house humming a tune, singing a song, or otherwise having a crazy dance party on her own (oh, did I mention she's also my roommate?!).


I can't tell you the number of nights I've spent sitting on the floor with her, both of us a weepy mess, and still attempting to converse. Or even standing in the kitchen, doubled over and unable to breathe because of something that probably won't be funny in two years, but certainly was in the moment. She is a strong prayer warrior and loves Jesus with all her heart, and she shares that love with everyone around her. All she has to do is say hello, and suddenly your day feels a little bit brighter because Amie has sent some of her sunshine your way. She is engaged to one great guy, and I am so excited to see how they continue to grow together as an engaged, and then married couple. Sometimes she doesn't know what she's doing with her life, if she's going the right direction or if she is really up to the challenge of being a Navy wife. Amie, you totally are. You are so strong and you bring comfort in times of heartache, I know you are going to be a huge blessing to everyone on base when you arrive.

It's such a great thing to have amazing friends in - Amie is one who I'm going to keep around, whether she likes it or not! :-)

My dear Miss Amie, you are an incredible blessing in my life and I cannot wait for our friendship to blossom and grow even deeper as we get older! (You know we're probably going to be those old ladies in the nursing home laughing at something completely stupid). I LOVE YOU!
