A tribute to… Chet Lee Wilson – one of my awesome LG friends who always brightens my day!
1. Chet is truly one of the funniest guys I’ve ever met. He always makes me smile and laugh!

2. “All he wants to do is dance, dance, dance!” His 21st birthday was our first trip to the Caravan... and he's been just about every week since then. lol He knows how to lead and is not afraid to try new things, and he's learned some really fun spin moves, including the pretzel!
3. I met him at the Christmas party… then me, him, and Sarah were a Scavenger Hunt group at the NY Eve party (still love our pic at the Praying Hands! Lol) I had no idea they’d be two of my close friends soon after that… again, it’s cool how God works things out!!
4. He’s easygoing, easy to talk to, trustworthy, full of life and passion, and always fun to hang out with!
5. He caters the most fun parties and makes the best homemade pizza around… even if no one in our group bothers to show up on time! Lol He's typically the life of the party anyway. ;)
6. Very encouraging friend; sends Thought for the Day emails and random uplifting texts to the group, and he's been really supportive to me in my efforts toward eating healthy and losing weight… I so appreciate him not giving up on me there!
7. We became friends while talking about The Biggest Loser as we ate our cookie cake at LG! lol True story.
8. Has an awesome, strong heart for God and a passion for serving others… serves faithfully at LifeChurch every week and has the outgoing personality to really make people feel welcome and loved!
9. Ran in a mud run recently… which I find hilarious! And (like me) he also knows all the words to “Vanilla Ice, Ice, Baby…” random, I know, but it adds to the awesomeness that is Chet-Lee!
10. He always has a positive attitude and inspires and encourages others to do the same… he knows that it’s a choice, and he chooses to be happy and trust God rather than getting stressed out and overanalyzing things, and he doesn’t hang around negative people… so you can count on him to be uplifting and brighten your day!
11. Seeing his “O-Chet” license plate always makes me smile. :)
12. He has an awesome testimony... very impressive to hear his story. I love that he knows the exact date he first came to LifeChurch and what series it was (Aug. 4, 2007/Thirty Days to Live)!
13. One of my two most faithful blog readers, even going so far as to read my entirey 1,000 Awesome Thing list! Definitely my closest guy friend in the Lifegroup, and knows me better than most people! =)
14. Very involved in our Lifegroup… even made a T-shirt inviting people to our group… he’s someone you can always depend on to show up and help out, not only for the parties and game nights, but also with the mission projects and events! (And random garage remodels, or to come over and kill a bug or plant flowers for me. lol)
15. He took the initiative to go learn more about Eugene Field and got Jeremy to come speak to our group, which led to the awesome cookout with the kids, where he was also incredibly helpful!!
16. Hosted a group bonfire, including an entertaining round of Chubby Bunny w/him and Laura! It was a lot of fun… (right up until he called and told me to check myself for ticks afterwards. lol)
17. Introduced us all to Caravan and Wanda’s Cake Gallery; also taught me about the magic of cinnamon and Splenda on a sweet potato… Mmmm! :)
18. Doesn't enjoy school, but is becoming determined to work harder and have a better attitude… and regardless of the degree, I know God has awesome plans for his life… perhaps including becoming a personal trainer someday, because he would be perfect for that! Or a campus pastor... that too.
19. Much like me, he is always camera-ready …ready to smile if he might possibly be in a picture!! This picture proves that pretty well. lol
20. He really lives out the Christian faith; committed to serving at church… does a great job of reaching out and inviting people to LifeChurch or our Lifegroup… and when his coworkers need prayer, he’s the one they come to!
21. He makes everyone feel comfortable around him, he’s the life of every party and is always in the mood to have fun!
22. Ultra-determined and driven! He lost a lot 50+ pounds on his own last year without a personal trainer or much help from anyone… really inspiring!
23. Loves Twitter and Facebook and blogging, and has a job where he can be online as much as I am! Hooray! =)
24. Loves ice cream and chocolate icing as much as I do! :) Pic = our hilarious bet in Vegas with the "Forbidden Broadway" Sundae!

Tara: "I don't understand how anyone could eat that stuff." (about chocolate icing)
Chet: "Well, gimme a spoon, and I'll show you!" hahaha
25. He is great about remembering all the birthdays in our group and making sure to celebrate them and make people feel special! He always believes the best in people, holds people accountable (which I appreciate), and it’s obvious to me that he genuinely cares about his friends and wants the best for them! Yay, Chet Lee!!
O Chet, you are awesome! :) Lindz, you are AMAZING! bc
