30 Day Challenge - Day 17
A picture of someone that has made a huge impact on your life recently.
In 2007, I had no idea what I was in for when I first started working for Tim Townsend.
I certainly had no idea that by 2011, he'd know me better than basically anyone.

I've never really had a boy best friend before Tim. But I know I'm really lucky to have him around- I think he's seen me at my best and my worst, and won't let me get away with being anything less than 100% honest with myself. He drives me absolutely insane sometimes but can make me completely forget why in the same instant by making me laugh. He's ridiculous and can make me laugh until my side hurt. He's trustworthy and someone that knows my secrets. He's fiercely loyal and likewise passionate. He teases me relentlessly like a brother and is wise to both my talents and faults. He knows me better than I sometimes know myself and can read me like a book. He worries about me more than he lets on, and pushes to try and make me a better person. And if you don't have someone like that in your life you can call your best friend, you are far less fortunate than I.
Technically I altered this blog post... it was supposed to be "A picture of someTHING that has made a huge impact on my life recently." So to honor that- that thing is Colorado (and just so happens to be where the above picture was taken).
In 40 days, I'm losing my best friend to Colorado. I've known for a while he was going to go. I know that he needs to go. And I'm proud of him for going. But while he's off on his big adventure, I'll still be here trying to figure out exactly how to resume life when there is a Tim sized hole left behind. Instead of walking 30 feet to his office next door, he'll be 1,700 miles away. That's going to be a pretty significant impact.
To say that I'm going to miss him incredibly would be the understatement of the year.

"You can kiss your family and friends goodbye and put miles between you,
but at the same time you carry them with you in your heart, your mind, your stomach...
because you do not just live in a world, but a world lives in you."
