Best Buddies!

 I recently joined a club at my school with some of my friends called Best Buddies. Its where you are matched with a student who has a disability or is handicap and you are their "best buddy" for the school year! you have to contact them once a week through email, phone call or visiting them and then you hangout with them twice a month. We went to the "matching" party where we brought our parents so they could meet eachother. My buddy is a really sweet girl named Jacqueline. She is really funny and LOVES disney! My mom was talking to her mom and her mom was saying that Jaqueline's past two buddies went to BYU and still email her! I hope i can be that good of a buddy! I think this is going to be a really neat experience and hopefully we will have a lot of fun this year!

They had a little spot where they took pictures with each match and they had you put on sunglasses and silly stuff for the picture.
My mom took the picture with her iphone so its a little blurry...
