SHOT OUTS TO THE BOYS, GUYS, CHICOS, AND BROTHAS
Joey- Whoa! You are the friend I have known the absolute longest. Not only have I known you the longest by far but we've been best friends our whole lives. Can you believe that. Your like the only friend I can actually say that has literaly seen everything that's happened to me. You're the only one that is actualy like a brother. It's hard to believe that we've been best frieds for so long. I don't even want to try to emagine what life would be like without you. There's too much in the past! I'm so happy our mom's became such great friends when they did so we were able to grow up together. Most of my childhood memories include you. I just hope this friendship will never grow old.
Todd- Boy! You best be treating my sista right! hehe No, I know you are. You're an awesome husband to Joanna and I hope your marriage last forever and a day. I don't think anyone could ask for a cooler
brother-in-law. You are off the hook! hehe. It's great having you in the family. It wouldn't be complete without you. I know my mom and dad think the world of you but that's only half of what I think of you. It's so cool knowing so much about you and seeing so much of your past but yet you aren't blood and you haven't been around since day one even though it feels like you have. I always look forward to holidays and the summer when I get to spend time with you and my sister. Keep on working hard and don't ever forget that you have a family here in Hayward always.
Hassan- Oh my gosh, you are such an awesome guy! Thank you so much for sticking by me and supporting me and looking out for me and basically acting as a big brother. I don't know anyone that has responded to me like you have. No one can ask for a better friend. You've always been there to pick me up or to be happy with me. I hope we stay friends for ever and ever and ever. But, you know when I first met you, I have to admit..... I never would have thought it would have turned out like this. I guess growing up doesn't only have an effect on a person personally but with their friendships as well. I think we have grow so much. When I look at old pictures and think back to L.A. and Portland. I can't help but laugh. It's been a wonderful journey. Let's keep going. And, one last thing I have to say..... Thank you for being there when I've needed you the most and thank you for beeing there when I will need you the most. I know you'll always be there no matter what. You mean so much to me! I love you bro!
William- Well, there's not too much to say to you except for thank you for always lending an ear and some of your time. You've always been there to give or do whatever you can do (people, trust me, that's a lot! hehe) You're truely a wonderful guy and friend. You are way smart and totally totally talented and know how to think straight. There's not too many guys out there that are like you. Your one of a kind. You're one in a million. Thank you! You have truely been someone I don't want to leave behind if and when I ever get out of this place. You and I have really gone back. All the way to fith grade is it? hehe yea... Thank you for all the rides home and for all the concern you've given. I couldn't ask for a better friend.

First of all I want to just say thank you for comming up to me at the funeral and making sure that I got back into the chapter.  Being back and active in the chapter has really changed me and helped me.Thank you for not letting me fall away from the chapter. It has been a great time with all the activities. I feel so grown up now(yes, we both I know am, hehe) that I'm hanging out with all the older lps. It's cool knowing that I'm in the circle of friends. Also, I want to thank you for all the Raider games. Those are absolutely the best times! They are so much fun.

Jackie- "Oh man, it's Gabe's storries!" "Shut-up Gabe" hehe sound familiar? I bet... Well, Jackie, it has really been cool getting to know you this year. You made Chem and Espanol so much better. You're really a cool guy. No, I don't remember what kind of car he has and I'm not going to ask! Oh, Jackie, get a new current event next time, one maybe not so long. Keep to less then two typed pages. Yea, I think you made the electricity go out that day! That was so cool. Well, I'll see you around at school.

Jerad- Man oh Man, where do I even begin. First, thank you. Thank you for everything. You have been so supportive but yet instrumental in my life for the past year and a half or so. When we talked that one night, I'm sure you know what night I mean haha (the night I was leaving home), I felt so good and cared for. I never realized how good of a true friend you really can be until that night. I really think Kim wore off on you lol. I think she may have even been a little sad that I talked to you so much more then her at convention. hehe. But she understood. That's the beauty of brothers and sisters. They always understand and support you, no matter what, and you have deffinately fit into that catagory. Thank you for all the talks, your shoulder that I have cried on so much, especially all the jokes and all the times you have made me laugh and cheer up, and also all the times you have made me feel better about myself. I don't know what I'd do without ya, Let's not even think of something so horrible!
Chris M.- You make my day over and over again. There's never a dull moment when you're around. Those few days that we let go without our hugs are misserable. I've never had a better hug from anyone. It's been awesome getting to know you. You yourself are awesome. "You're the best, Chris!" Thank you for just totally being yourself around me. I think you're one of the few that I know for a fact is always theirself around me at school. I've never met a more sincere, passionate, and caring person than you. You are the sunshine in so many people's lives. I'm really going to miss you when graduation comes. We better keep in touch or else life will be horrible without you. Thank you for encouraging me and believing I can do well in school. Thank you for everything. You're going to make one woman the happiest woman in the world some day. X's and O's and big big hugs! ;-)
