Lindey Brooke Herrick

L.B. - Lindey Brooke

    I met her in 7th grade. We had one class together and isn't it funny how fast first impressions form. Me and her within the first few minutes of meeting each other instantly disliked each other. She thought I was a girl full of myself and I thought she was some random girl with glasses who I disliked for no reason. Basically we knew nothing about each other and already had a dislike for one another, little did we know that within that month we would become good maybe even best friends.

     After this the years continued to follow suite. Of course we got into fights occasionally but we were together almost all the time so who wouldn't. We stopped being friends for awhile during 8th grade until about the middle of freshman year when somehow we reconnected. Little did we know that we would soon become inseparable again. The summer going into Sophomore year we were attached at the hip, along with one of our other friends Morgan, who I will write about when its her turn. But anyways we all hung out every day. We even took our first road trip all alone together that summer to Salina to visit Lindey's dad. 

      Lindey was also there for me for my very first homecoming. We went in a semi small group but of course all of the mom's wanted millions of pictures so it took forever to get out of there and then our reservations actually got messed up so we had to adjust on the spot and ended up going to a japanese steak house by Lindey's boyfriends house. While it wasn't exactly what we planned on, it ended being even more of a blast. The food was delicious and we still had plenty of time to make it to the dance. That night was one of the most fun memories from high school still to this day. 

Lindey and I have been through so much together. These stories don't even being to touch all of the stuff we have been through together, good and bad. She is my best friends and I don't know what I'd do without her. We are going on being friends for 5 years, next year not seeing her all the time won't be the same. Don't ever take your friends for granted because its not always a for sure thing they will be there. I'm very blessed to have Lindey.
