Boldly Going= Bolding

This past summer I was a wandering little soul who knew nothing about how to be in the non-freshman college world, but I was fortunate to be associated with an older sister who luckily had many friends that kindly took me under their wings and showed me the ropes. One of these said souls stands at about my height but is seriously a giant in sociability, talents, spiritual growth, intelligence, innovation, humor, and purely defined friendship.

Joshua Bolding!

Here is an ABC's for Josh, who I sincerely cherish above most other people here. (Warning: Josh is one of those souls for whom I know a blog spotlight will ever do justice, but it must be done)

A: Athletic haha (except at Bocce Ball and laser tag!)
B: Bold- quite fitting for Bolding. If he gets an idea, he will boldly pursue it.
C: Confident and competitive. Like, extremely.
D: Dedicated
E: Enduring
F: Feisty
G: Genuine. Not one thing about Josh is fake or a facade and he expects the same of everyone else and appreciates those who are genuine.
H: HIlarious
I: Innovative
J: Judges soundly
K: Kind. Seriously, like some people use this term loosely to describe anyone who smiles, but Josh really is like really truly a KIND person. I've never felt so cared for
L: Laughter! hhahaha just laugh with Josh and you won't be able to stop
M: Mexican. And proud of it.
N: No-crap policy. Josh won't put up with it.
O: Opinionated
P: Personable. Josh gets what he wants 97% of the time because he is personable
Q: Quiet observer. Which is why, originally, I think he was friends with Charina. They're both those that quietly observe but when the bond is formed they're right in there with the rest of the crowd laughing and making jokes and shniking.
R: Reflective. I've heard Josh tell stories that make me know he really thinks about himself and what he's experienced and then applies those lessons to what he's doing now, which is what real wisdom is all about
S: Shnike! Hahaha One of my downfalls is kind of poking fun at people and when I am with Josh it is all too easy to do that
T: TESTIMONY OF A GIANT. Listen to this guy talk about the gospel and his testimony of it, and you will be inspired and immediately have a greater desire yourself to be better.
U: Unfailing. Josh doesn't fail a lot, which is good, cus he doesn't like it.
V: Vigor. Or passion, some might say. In every cause to which he is devoted, he gives his full measure
W: Writer. Josh wrote all the basketball articles fall semester and they were great!
X: X-centric? He is pretty weird haha
Y & Z: these last two are going to be too hard to think of appropriate words without stretching too much, so i will just finish by saying Josh is also dear becuase he has distinct forearms and eyebrows (perpetually like this: / \) and he has taught me much about how to serve other people and never give up and be COMPLETELY real and just genuine to all that know me--none of this fake stuff. He has an astounding understanding of the gospel and incredible activeness in being SELFLESS all the time. And on the other hand of all these righteous components, Josh is feisty and shnikey and hilariously good at poking fun at people and all of these things are wonderfully endearing.

Thanks, Char, for leaving me with such a good friend!
