The place I decided to write about was church camp. This specific church camp has held many important memories to me over the past 8 years. Some of my fondest moments were held in this church camp. It takes place in the Black Hills,which is in Rapid City, South Dakota. Some of my favorite memories include the day I met my best friend; also the day my oldest brother surprised us all after not seeing him for 4 years. He was away in Afghanistan. I still remember this day very clear as if it was just yesterday. My oldest brother Matt had been gone in Afghanistan for 4 years, and was not able to come home to visit.

It was the day I met my best friend Andrew. It was a normal day we had just got to the camp after a long day traveling. I was walking to the stone picnic tables that were in the same spot as the past years. I was sitting down alone waiting for my youth group to come over there, so we could figure out our cabin numbers. The next thing I knew a random stranger whom i've never seen before came and sat down next to me. We exchanged names, and where we were from. He is from Huron South Dakota. We instantly became best friends. We were inseparable. It was so hard for us to say goodbye at the end of the week,but we stayed in contact. Later in that year I surprised him for his birthday by going down to Huron without telling him. He is my whole world and will always be my best friend. We have been best friends for 5 years, and yes we fight a lot, but our friendship is so strong we always make up. Andrew has been there for me through thick and thin; through the good and bad. I have no clue where I would be right now if I had never met him. He is 17 years old; he turns 18 in December. When he graduates he is getting a place. When I turn 18 he is moving me down there and we are going to live together like classic best friends in college. He is going to be part of my life forever I love him
