January 26, 2011- Kaley Budnik

KBUD. Hmmm, well there are countless ways to start this but I think we can kick it off with a nice gack gack? Goodness, KBud is the girl that you meet and never forget. Truly though, I met her in the seventh grade and after our trip to the circus, I never forgot how ridiculous she was, or maybe just how ridiculous we were together? Regardless, if you don't know Kaley, go to Orlando and meet her because you may have the best time of your life just chatting with her. 


Kaley and I have always had the gift of never caring what anyone else thinks when the other is around. We did things in high school that I still look back on and wonder what state of mind I was in, and somehow always managed to escape the consequences that should have come with our actions. No matter what we did, an inappropriate nickname, inside joke or comment seemed to be inevitably nearby. Wherever we were, we had a dang good time and never thought twice about our actions. 


The coolest thing about KBud though, is that she is far from all fun and games. She has a beautiful spirit about her that Jesus just flows through. Her heart for others and just joy found in life is contagious and inspiring to be around. She has an incredible gift of inclusion and can make you feel like her best friend in four minutes flat, disregarding any stereotype or previous judgement she may have heard about you(And with the amount of friends that girl has, she has probably heard it!) Truly though, she is an incredible friend and a stunning sister in Christ. KBud, thank you for all the laughs, memories, moments of sheer stupidity and most importantly-love. I love you forever. GACK GACK.

"Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions."
