Dear Godfamily,

Well, you're leaving in a few days (but you don't need me to tell you that). I hope you guys have as good a time there as I've had with you, and I hope this letter doesn't sound cheesy or corny or peppery.
I'd like to communicate (or try to communicate) to you the impact you've had on me. Here it goes...

Noelle: You're a very funny little girl. Thank you for consistently putting a smile on my face. I'm not sure if you'll ever know who stole the cookies from the cookie jar, but know that you have a godsister who will protect your cookies from further nabbing.

Seth: Thank you for giving me great upper body workouts, which most of my coaches fail to provide. You're a little wild thing, and I love that about you. I'd also like to thank you for being a great hide-and-seek partner. Whenever we hide together, I never have to wait an hour in a cramped space (because we usually are the first to be found).

Maia: Thank you for befriending my sister. I understand how hard it is to keep that friendship up, on account of her extraordinary loserrificness. You're an extremely kind and intelligent girl, and I admire that about you. Thank you for making the world a brighter place. I'd also like to thank you for always taking the brunt of our (mainly Justin's) jokes. I wish I could be as good a sport as you.

Rain and Justin: Thanks for being the coolest playmates I could ever ask for. I don't know if I'll ever find hide-and-seekers, road-trekkers, or slingshot-shooters as good as you--okay, maybe not the last one. Thank you especially for always thrashing me in Halo. (My ego needs to be checked now and then.) Lastly, thank you for putting up with my armpit hugs.

Chloe: What can I say? You endure all my romantic drones, and that's more than any of my friends can vouch for. Thank you for always listening. You keep me sane at the price of your extreme boredom. Thank you for making me a facebook profile (best move evaaah!). Thank you for telling me about TWSS jokes, ______, ______, and all that other stuff that slowly dissolvedmy innocence, but made me more worldly. In the utmost earnestness, thank you for being the coolest teenager I know.

Nino Leo and Nina Eva: Fortunately, I can sum up your section in one sentence: Thank you for being so awesome. But I want to elaborate, so I will. You are two of my greatest supporters. I can't express how much you motivate me whenever you cheer me on at a game or something. I owe quite a portion of my success to you. Thank you for introducing me to Nerf gun fights, simplifiedliving, Glee, blogging, etc. Thank you very much for taking me to the library. That momentous occasion led me to discover the joy of borrowing books and saving money. Again, thank you--thank you all--for being so awesome.

Excuse the weird placement of words and such.
