Day 37: Sierra Minott

Sierra is a beautiful friend of mine! She and I met in our freshmen acting class and have been buddies since!

Sierra is easily one of the most graceful and grace-filled people I know. She is not only an extremely talented dancer (I swear I have never seen the girl trip), but she has a heart for the Lord and a passion for people. She loves speaking to teenage girls and young women and is very talented at it. I love hearing her speak. And let's just put it candidly, she has been given many opportunities to speak to girls because of some previous accomplishments! ;)  Being 4th runner up in the Miss America competition gives you a pretty awesome platform for life.

Sierra is a blast to hang out with! She has an awesome sense of humor and a fantastic laugh! It is so contagious! We have had so many nice times together through out college. She and some other girls through a surprise party for me during my sophomore year for just being me. It was so sweet and I was incredibly touched. They treated me like a Princess and spoiled me with balloons, gifts, a scrapbook, cupcakes, and chocolate covered strawberries! Not to mention it was an all pink party meaning that all the guests had to wear pink. It was so much fun and such a blessing to me!

Sierra was such a help to me during the week of my wedding! She helped with about a million things from programs, to greeting, to decorating, to helping keep everyone on time, and so many other things that I am sure I am not even aware of! It was a blessing to have her help, but mostly to have her there. She has been someone I knew I could always go to with prayer requests and support during college and having her there was so special to me!

Sierra,

Thank you for being my friend! Thank you for taking time to get to know me and just hang out together. I have loved always having fun with you and especially loved the numerous lunches or coffee dates we had last year. I am so proud of everything you have accomplished, but more importantly of who you are. You are stunning inside and out, but the Lord is so pleased with your heart. You are one of the best women I could ever imagine looking up to and I hope someday my daughter (if I have a daughter) has a friend and role model like you to look up to! I can't wait to hear and see where life takes you. It is such an amazing journey and I am excited for what life holds for both of us. I miss you dear and hope to catch up with you very soon!

Love,

Mary Beth
