22. Friends
I have friends from all over the world. My first friend is Jan Schmidt. Jan is from Germany.
He was an exchange student my senior year in high school. He hung out with my
group of friends and he told us, when he moved back to Germany, that we could
come and visit him any time. Four years after we graduated, my buddy and I went to
visit him. We had such a good time and we actually got a lot closer. In 2007, he got
married to Sabina and I was invited to their wedding. In 2009, he and Sabine had a
little girl, Anna. Before she was born, he asked me if I’d be her Godfather. I was so
honored and graciously accepted. So, I now have a Goddaughter that I can’t talk to
because she speaks German and I speak English. I’m hoping some day I learn
German so I can at least speak to my Goddaughter.
Now, I don’t only have friends from other countries. I do have friends from America, too.
My closest friends are guys from a leadership seminar I do in the summer. They’re
from all over so it’s hard to see them often, so we got together and said we’re going to
hang out at least once every 3 months. The guy to the right of me is Patrick. Patrick is
from Danville, IL. He and I have done a lot of traveling. Together, we have traveled
over 9,000 miles and through 32 states. We did this in the summers of 2012 and
2013. He is an amazing friend. The guy next to him is Loren. Loren is from Franklin,
IN. He is the most outgoing guy I know. He is so much fun to be around and could
probably make friends with just about anyone. Next to Loren is Cory. Cory is from
Toledo, OH, and he is just the nicest guy you’d ever meet. He is so friendly, there’s
no doubt in my mind he would give you the shirt off his back or the money in his
pocket if you needed it. Just a super guy.
