These are the days.

So I just got a call from Chris. Chris has been my one of my best friends since 4th grade. I just love this kid to death. We have gone through so much together, and I think ive talked about my faith more with him than I have with anyone prolly everyone else together. (Yes, this is the guy I went to homecoming with this year if you were wondering) He had such an influence on my life, that its nuts. And I just have to tell you the story of how we met. So Chris goes to Lakota and I went to Mason. In 4th grade his mom was the youth leader for 4th and 5th graders and my mom was taking over the position when chris went into 6th grade. So my I come up to him with my mom and she like this is chris hes a year older than you blah blah blah... and I was wearing a mason t-shirt and chris goes "MASON SUCKS!" and I was like "YOU SUCK (kick in the shin)" Ever since then we've been like best friends. But its so weird. I was talking to that same kid today and he was telling me about how in just a matter of months hes going to college. Isnt that crazy! Someone ive known that long and I remember as a 5th grader is completely grown up. That just blindsides me. Like this summer could be the last time i see him ever. (I hope not!) But could be. That is just so weird. But its cool. If we wouldnt have grown up and went through this stuff together we wouldnt be as close as we are so its a huge blessing. But its just so crazy to think about.

It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend

And while were on that subject. I really dont know where I would be without my friends. I could be a totally different person. Like I was talking to Emily last night and Im so glad I dont live in mason. Like I miss Emily everyday. But aside from that theres not that many people I miss. (I mean their are a few Brooke, Amanda, Katie, Katie, but not many) You know I just fee like my friends take each other for granted. You know I know what it feels like to have no friends, or worse have bad friends. And we have some of the best friends we could imagine. Yeah we like to joke about "all my friends hate each other" but really out of all the groups of friends ive had we are the group with the least drama, the least hatred, and the most love. But I think its gotten to the point lately where we all got to comfortable with each other that we take that for granted. Lately Ive really been trying to appreciate my friends, and it has worked tremendously well. Like yeah I still get mad at my friends. But I get over it wayyyyy faster. Like I was mad at one of mr friends yesterday and I was over it pretty quickly. If you think your friends are important you let more things slide because you dont want to lose them. You know, Emily wishes she had in Mason what I have here. She is always like your friends are so cool. You can just chill and you seem to be really tight and stuff. You know we have it so good and I think we should see that, and act like it. I think that would solve the "tension" that everyone talks about (even though I dont really feel it maybe bc I have been following this new concept, I dont know). But yeah I just had to get that out there.


Basically I love you all and your so vital to me at this point in my life. And we have a little over a year and a half left together and its going to be amazing! Im so excited for it!

These are the days you will remember for the rest of your life
These are the memories you’ll pack in a box and pull ‘em out sometimes
So pick your flowers, count the seconds, roll the dice
But baby, don’t wait ‘till its too late
Put a smile on your face
These are the days
