a tribute.

since i am not originally from utah and since i aaron caught my eye soon after moving here i have had the toughest time making lady friends around these parts. instead of wallowing after my deepest desire to find a true blue gal pal to chat with over an afternoon of lunch and shopping i instead want to pay tribute to my truest friend, gal pal, other-half, sister - rachel.

thank you for talking to me at the most inconvenient times for you, for never allowing the miles and miles that separate us to ever severe our connection, for loving me unconditionally and for forgiving me time and time again, for making me laugh and for mostly listening, for talking about anything and everything and for sharing my passion for celebrity gossip and expensive fashion tastes.

eighth grade . . .

. . . was a really great year for me. i met breanne.

our class was working on a project and we had to divide into groups. we needed one more person in our group and breanne was new to our school. you can imagine how the rest of the story goes, blah, blah, blah we invited her into our group, she and i had our first conversation about her wearing "boy" shoes and TA-DA we were inseparable.

i might have had braces, but she did too. i may not have known how to handle my massive mane of hair, but neither did she. i may or may not had the worst teacher known to man kind who dressed like a complete hussy, but we had each other in that class. i might have been totally boy crazy but she was too. and i know for sure that i had a few breakdowns that sent my mother into madness, but so did she and we had one another's houses to run to for refuge.

this best pal of mine is in town. not only that, but she is staying in our little abode for the weekend. i don't care if this doesn't excite you on any level, because i am already excited on every level that she is here. all the way from denver, she is here!
