What do you say....

I have been sitting here at work all afternoon trying to write my speech/toast for my best friends wedding and have no idea where to start.  Im definately not much of a public speaker, so Im trying to keep it short and sweet.  But not TOO short - and definately not boring.  Writing has always come easy to me, but for some reason, today, I am stumped.  I keep playing everything we've been through over and over in my mind and feel like I dont know where to start.  There are so many amazing memories, and inside jokes, and tears, and laughs - its hard to try condense it all into one small 5 minute (MAYBE) long speech.  And then to include the groom! Good Lord!  I feel like I could write for days.  Kristina is definately one in a million, and I definately have no idea what I would have done the last 10 years of my life without her.  She has brought me through some of the toughest parts of my life - watched me struggle to do right - and stood by me when I was wrong.  Lord knows she wasnt always quiet about it or happy with my decisions, but she has never judged me.  She has loved me through all of it.  We've shared so many tears together.  Tears of happiness, tears of laughter, tears of sadness - just about anykind of emotion that brings tears - we've shared.  Shes been through so much in her own life, and I am so utterly and completely proud of the person she is.  She is strong, and beautiful, and loyal, and 100% willing to stand up for what she believes in, no matter who or what the cost.  Her character and soul are beautiful.  She is a rare gem - and Im so happy that shes finally found the man she deserves.  The man who will love her unconditionally, for who she is and what shes been through.  She deserves everything good in this world and she is gaining that in her fiance.  He is sweet, kind, loving, and thinks she is the most amazing girl on Earth.  As do we all.  =]  Im so happy for you, Kris!  I love you and you deserve the world.  =]
