to the mountaineer.

January third, I felt like the biggest baby on the planet.  It was the "last" day i was going to see my best friend Marcie Gale before she moved off to Appalachian State to "further her education," blah, blah, whatever you call it these days.  Don't get me wrong, that is absolutely awesome and amazing and i'm happy for her x912365.  but...in my eyes, she was leaving me here to rot in this small town with out a best friend here to go eat hot fudge cakes or to go watch disney movies with. 
yes, i was being over dramatic.
yes, i knew she would come home during some weekends and during holidays.
and yes, i knew i'd most likely be up there to see her every other weekend.
but my best friend was leaving, and i was upset.


so as a "maybe if i make you this, you'll feel sorry for me and not leave me," present (only kidding, but seriously) i made her this...

 and wrote her a two page letter,  while listening to "yellow," by coldplay, and cried.

and during the process she called me and we talked about how in a few hours we were going to say bye to each other, and we had to hang up before we both started crying.


i mean seriously, you would think that we were moving to opposite sides of the world, but no...only two hours away. true best friend love right there.


yes, it's four days later, and i can't waitttt till she comes home. hope she realizes i'm not leaving her side.


i love you marcie gale, thank you for everything.
