DAY 07- Your Best Friend
So as I've been thinking about this one, I've decided that I've had many different Best Friends throughout my life. A best friend to me is someone that is always there for you, and honestly who knows MOST about you. I consider my Best Friends the ones I tell most to, the ones I trust most, and the ones I always am in touch with.
My child hood best friend was Jordan Hess. Jordan and I were inseperable!! And I mean seriously inseperable. So inseperable that we were actually kind of rude to everyone else. I admit it, and am not proud of it.....but it brings some good memories haha. Jordan and I did everything together. We had the same favorite colors, the same amount of dolls that we would play with. When she got a toy, I'd get the toy. We'd have sleep overs and "late nighers" and we'd get the same color of braces. We'd play house, and restaurant, and put on dance shows with our "Big Red, and Big Blue" balls and perform for our parents. We had very strong personalities and always had fun together! We started to kind of separate in about 6th grade when we went to ACYI and met lots of new people. However, we never completely split. We've always been good friends. We danced in High School together and still remain close although we don't chat much, or see each other a whole lot. But I sure do love her. "Jibby and Fresca" Forever =)
I don't have very many pictures on my computer of Jordan and I. If I was at home, I'd have thousands! But this is a good one because I have to mention Rockettes anyways. Rockettes will always be my best friends. I spent on average 28 hours a week with these girls just practicing. That's not including extra practices, or performances, or assemblies when we were required to sit together, or football games and basketball games, and meetings, and team parties. We LIVED together. And it payed off. There was no way that you COULDN'T love these girls and I truly did. (And still do). These were the 10 girls in my graduating class. We were most of the team. I love my ten :) (Oh and Jordan is right next to me on the right!... if you didn't know)
Once I hit 6th grade, my best friends became McKell and Kristen 100%. I was always close with McKell and Kristen growing up. We were all in the same ward, and elementary and we played all the time. But once we were in 6th grade, we then became attached at the hip. We became "BMK" (Breanne, McKell, Kristen) and stuck with it forever! In Intermediate school and onto Jr High, we hung out 24-7 whenever we could! This is a great time to also mention Dallin and Rachel. Dallin and Rachel were right there with us all through Intermediate school and Jr. High. Every weekend we'd play night games, or truth or dare, or go bowling....whatever. But we ALWAYS were together. When we hit high school we all kind of went different ways. McKell and I stayed super close because we were on Rockettes together. But even though the rest of us weren't AS close.... when we got together it's like we were still in Jr High. That's what is so great about them now. McKell and Kristen are both married, and Kell has a little baby. We're all in different stages in life and we really don't keep in touch much but a little here and there. However, when we do get together, it's like we're right back to Jr High :) I love these girls and I know we'll be best friends for eternity!
Me, McKell, and Kristen
Next on the list is Taylor. Taylor was part of the gang in Jr High. He would hang out with us a lot and we were all pretty tight. We really started becoming even better friends in High School. Our Jr year Taylor asked me to homecoming. From then on, we became super close. I can still remember the exact moment that I thought to myself "wow.....he is the best friend ever."
I was driving through town one night crying. There was a party going on at my friend Matt's, and Matt had been texting me. He started to give me a hard time because I had a "missionary" at the time, and he told me that maybe I could have come to the party if i didn't have a missionary. Yes, dumb little highschool drama, but I was really hurt and sad! Well Taylor called me soon after and I told him the situation. He then said to come over and we were going to go buy toilet paper and toilet paper matt's van. And that we did. Haha I felt so much better and thought Taylor was just the best for helping me feel better. And from that day on, that's exactly the kind of friend he was. I could honestly say he was my VERY BEST friend in High School. I could talk to Tay about anything in the world and feel comfortable. He has great outlooks on things and is very spiritual. The day he left on his mission I was a mess. haha! I was bawling in my moms arms and my mom said to me "You really love him, don't you" and I did. I really did love this kid to death. He's home now and living in Logan. We've gone our seperate ways for the most part but we're friends. I'm happy for him and the good life that he is living :) I'll always be grateful for his friendship!
Taylor and I =)
I could go on forever. But I'll stop with one more. Kati :)
I would consider Kati my Best Friend at the moment. Kati and I became close in High School when we danced together. (In our peter pan dance, she was my shadow haha!) Anyway, we always got along so well. We just clicked! Since high school, kati and i continue to stay close. Even when we lived in seperate towns we still would call each other often and man....we can talk. We talk for hours and everything. I can tell her EVERYTHING going on in my life and she is always so good at listening. I'm actually living with Kati next month when I move to provo and I can't wait!!
Kati and I in St. George :)
OK- I'll stop now :) I sure do love my friends and don't know what I'd do without them :)
