So I (Matt) known Lauren for 2 years now as we trudged our way through the grueling elementary education blocks at IUPUI. If you've been through them, you understand. Among some things that we've done together is been a part of a reader's theater, some skits, lots of heavy, heavy reading, student teaching right next to each other's rooms, and finally we got to capture her and Ryan's amazing wedding day. The wedding and reception was held at St. Monica's in Indy. Lauren's sisters/bridesmaids and Ryan's groomsmen were up for anything that we wanted to do and that rocked like no other. The other day I was talking to a couple of guys I used to coach who are in college now and playing sports about how they have made a lot of friends on their respective teams. I told them that in the end after everything is over with, the only thing that will stay with you are the relationships. No matter what accomplishments in the sport that they have, nothing can compare to the love and friendship that people have for others. That's what you will remember. So, that's kind of how I feel about my Block Buddies. I'm going to forget anything that probably came from a book, but I will never forget any of you or the impact that you had on my life.
Also, you know I'm pretty much an artsy guy, if any of you are thinking about getting some ink done and need an amazing tattoo artist:
Ryan is your man. Hit him up.
Thanks again Ryan and Lauren for the special token or your appreciation. :) That was an amazing blessing. I hope that you enjoy these! Leave a comment if you do too!
Eyelashes, Anyone?!!!!
