friday mornin' wind is blowin'

friday morning. nine thirty am.

sitting in my parents bedroom, in complete silence except for the three ticking of watches i can hear beside me on the dresser. one laying at my feet and the one in my moms travel jewelry bag, making a constant repeating sound, the kind you move your feet to every time the loudest tick makes its turn. my two best friends sleeping soundly, one in my "cloud feeling" like bed upstairs, and the other downstairs in the office sleeping on the trusty 'ol blow up mattress, which 50% of the time i find deflated by the next morning. let me go check on that.

disturbia, possibly one of the best movies of all time. every time the best friend c.r.marti comes home, we watch it at least three times...i'm not kidding. we've almost got the lines down to a T. and we still crack up during the funny parts, like seriously bust out laughing. that's when you know it's one of the best movies ever.  we talked the other best friend marcie gale to come watch it with us, which is a huge accomplishment. this girl will stay as far away as she can from scary movies. but with three people huddled on a couch, the fear slowly died except for the jumpy parts, which marcie caused the whole couch to make a jolt due to the unexpected jumpy scenes.  love her.

we shut our eyes at around five. and quite frankly i have no idea why i'm awake right now,  possibly because marcie takes up the whole bed. if i got a nickel for everytime i asked marcie to scoot over in the middle of the night, i swear i'd be rolling in the dough right now. & every time before we go to bed we argue about that subject, never fails. true best friend love right there.

i also feel like this is a rambling post, which is awesome.

and alsooo, lent started wednesday! i decided to give up facebook. which is super sad and pathetic, because it truly is hard. but i'm holding strong!

happy friday! oklahoma post coming asap, try to restrain yourselves. :)

title goes here.

a wall full of gum.

you know the weekends that are jammed packed full you cant seem to catch a breath, but you would do it every single weekend all year long? well, last weekend was most definitely under the "can't catch a breath, do it every weekend" category. 
let us recap:

i was reunited with my best friend. and beanie.

we made brownies at one in the morning. and yours truly got in trouble for eating the batter.

stayed up till four in the morning watching videos and pictures from our younger days when we thought we were hip and cool.

march, 2008.

after two hours of sleep, i woke up at 6 to go to the state wide Young Life leadership conference with the county's Young Life leaders :)
two words, a blast. and we met up with our best friends Sidney and Thomas! who are YL leaders in Rahhtown.

"hey, you have a car. you have yourselves, come to raleigh!" stated sidneylee and t.yo, so guess what mals, tyler c, and myself did saturday night? :)

why so?

well, because...

- her first big hit was named after my favorite male country artist.

-she's dated three of my favorites..Lucas Till, Joe Jonas & Taylor Laughtner .

-her voice is drop dead awesome.

-most of her songs relate to my life, it's kinda freaky.

-her style is what's up.

-her first name's pretty cool too.

t.swift, ladies and gentlemen.

thanks for the memories.

day four; a picture of someone who inspires you.

the adorable baby's not me, kudos to my cousin Leigh. but i love this picture of my mother (:

mama;

the lady who is a wonderful cook and has good style. the one that will laugh non stop with me, over the craziest things. she always knows when something's wrong, and always makes me feel better. she has a wonderful love for our Savior. she's the only one that can make the perfect peanut butter and jelly, and still puts up with me when i laugh about her falling asleep at 9:00 nightly. her artistic ability makes me sick, but i absolutely love it :) she inspires me to the moon and back.

i love you mama!

two, much better than one.

day two; a picture of you and the person you have been the closest with the longest.

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.
