I remember the first day I saw Shelby…..it was at our local homeschool co-op meeting and I remember thinking to myself, “Who is that new girl?” Shelby came probably for about 2 weeks before I even talked to her and didn’t really officially meet her. I actually “officially” meet her on Facebook. I was a little unsure of who she was…I didn’t really know her but she seemed like a “nice girl” so I decided to get to know her. Hah! Little did I know where that would end up. Shelby and I chatted on Facebook and text but we just talked every now and then.

I think our friendship took off when we realized that we were both as big of a Gator fan as the other one was. You see I have some friends who are Gator fans…..or rather Tebow fans…..but no friends of mine were Florida Gator diehard fans….and Shelby was/is. So after I found that out I knew there was nothing stopping Shelby and I from becoming best friends. No, I don’t just like her because she is a Gator fan; she is much more than that. She is a Christian homeschooled beautiful girl and did I mention a big GATOR fan?!?!?

So Shelbs and I have come a long way from the first time we met. We talk pretty much every day if not several times a day. And I don’t know if we have ever talked and not said at least one thing about Tebow or the Gators.

Shelby, you are like a sister to me and I am so blessed to have you in my life! Girl you are amazing! Thanks for being an awesome friend and the best gator girl. I look forward to many more memories with you especially anything having to do with the Gators!!

I Love You Shelby!!
