First, I'd like you to meet Steph. Amoung my best friends she was the first! We met our freshman year in high school, her and this other girl I was going to church with decided to start a bible study before school, and I was invited to come along. That's when I met Stephanie Smith. Steph was a happy young girl, she was in Love with the Lord and had a God given shine that just lite the room up. she wasn't afraid to share her faith and passion with others. Throughout high school we spent most of our time together, in and out of school. Many people though we were dating, so when they would ask, we would just laugh and tell them we were best friends. . Steph is self starter, although she lacks the motivation sometimes, whatever she sets her mind too she gets! She's to some sorts a computer genius. She's also good at telling people how it is, but sometimes she forgets herself. Steph is one of the most loyal people I've ever met. If there was one last thing I had to say to steph, it would be "WWWWAAAAAASSSSSSUUUUUPPPPP!!!!!!!" She is now the wife of John Blake, and they also have a young boy by the name of Josiah!!! Next I'd like you to meet three kids that belong to a family that has become somewhat of my own, at least the kids of the family. During our sophomore year in High school, I was going to a church called New Life, in Sherman Tx. There I met a family called THE BLAKES that had just started coming to the church. It was a couple that had one son and two daughters. Now I'd like you to meet John! John is the Oldesst of the three , . John was different then most kids, raised in the church but he was far from being the average "preachers Boy." John was unique, he had his own interests and most people didn't understand him, most of all his parents. But he was still a good kid, He loved the Lord even at a young age. So we started to hang out, and became good friends. And then we were roomates until he got married. Something that I've come to learn about John is that he has alot more potential in life than he uses, or may even know about. John has many hidden gifts, dreams and aspirations. The day he opens up, WOW, the world better watch out!!! Christel is Johns sister, Christel Blake. Christel was always quite and to herself back in the day. I haven't really got to know her till recently just last year(2001). Christel was always the misfit, as to say that she didn't just follow everyone around. She's one of the beautiful people of the world, she's got awesome character, and she's one of those people that, if she chooses to love you, she holds nothing back. If I had to describe christel with one word. I would call her Lovely. Then there's Becky, the youngest of the family. Becky is one of those people that you will never forget after you've met her. She's a beautiful young woman that knows what she wants(even though she likes to change her mind alot :) Becky is a natural born leader, she's got a wonderful sence of humor but she knows when to get serious. Becky hasn't always been around, but when she is there, she's always been a good friend. Becky is very level head, yet she is still hungry for excitement and adventure. Becky has a natural shine to her, that just draws people in. I'm lucky to have her as a friend. Becky is known for her since of humor, voice, and her smile. Last but certainly not Least, I'd like you to meet Michael Murley. I have to say that this is one of the most remarkable people that I've ever met. Murley was the mis-fit in school, also the only one of the group that graduated from high school. He's quite most of the time, but he's always thinking, He thinks more than I do!!! and do to the fact that he's quite he's hard to figure out sometimes. when he was young and I was still getting to know steph(1996), he was dating Christel and learning what it is to be a christian, through the teachings, and mistakes of the family. And after a long road, Murley and Christel are back together!!!! Murley and I have always been good friends, he's like the "brother I never had" we might not have always been close, but we've always been there for each other, when the need arose. Murley is the most responsible in the group, always has a job, very self sufficent, knows how to fix almost anything, and will do almost anything for his trusted friends... Everyone has there rough edges, but He is still one of the greatest people I know. So these are my best friends, I hope there is something that you can learn from us. I hope you enjoy the pictures and stories....come back often for updates, God bless. Micheal Melton |

| Some say that it's hard to find a good friend these days. They say that you can't really trust anyone, and that most people are only looking out for theirselves. They say that if someone is friendly or nice, it's cause they want something. They say that your lucky to have one best friend through your whole life...... Well, I've been Blessed with many friends, and here are some of the best!!!!! |
