FRIENDSHIP

When life gets too usual, have a barbecue!

Yesterday, Nate's friends had a BBQ for all of the TE/Holt interns. I invited Katie and Michelle too. Nate's sis Lindsay and her BF Adam came too. It was the most fun party I've been too in forever! It was a really beautiful day to be outside and hanging out with close friends. There was tons of hotdogs and burgers and some AWESOME homemade potato salad.

I love being with Katie and Michelle, we just laugh most of the time and it's all smiles. I also love the "heart-to-hearts" that can only happen between friends. We trust eachother with everything. I don't see my girls as much as I used too, so the times we get together are definitely precious to me. They're like family.

It was fun hanging out with my soon-to-be-sis, Lindsay. She's one cool girl. She's pretty goofy, like me.

I'd say there was close to 70 people at this party. Yeah dude.

Everyone gathered around the campfire when it got dark. Man I love that smell, when the campfire smoke gets in your clothes and hair. I love Nathan too:)

I know my friends are genuine friends when they've heard the same problem or story from me over and over, and they always listen like it's the first time.


I made a new friend named Maggie. As you can see, we hit it off right away. Little did I know, she's friends with anyone who's holding her green football. I was pretty upset when I found out that she was just using me to throw it for her.

Good times, good times.

On our way home, me and Katie stopped by 7-Eleven, and the guy working there was hilarious. He rambled on for 10 minutes about how mad he was about the Slurpee situation..."Ofcourse we always have Coke, that's our staple. It's in the contract. I tell them, we should always have Cherry Coke, because you know, that's our biggest seller! But no, they have to have this stupid 'flavor of the week' which no one even likes. I mean, right now it's Blueberry Rasberry, and it's not even red!!! What's up with that? Oh, and the mystery flavor! Who would by a flavor when they don't even know what it is???"

Yeah sure guy, like we care...we just slowly edged out of the store laughing, and he kept talking to himself after we left.

Scary Dream

I had a scary dream a few days ago. I was in my parents' house alone and there was a nasty storm outside that I was watching through the window. I saw a tornado quickly approaching the house so I threw myself down the basement steps and the tornado ripped through our house.

After it passed, I walked upstairs to see nothing left of our home. I walked around the neighborhood to see all the damage and talked to some neighbors. The sky was actually pretty, and there was that sense of calm after a storm. I saw this girl from my high school and told her that my house was destroyed. Then she said, "No it's not!" I said, "I was in the basement when the tornado hit it!" She told me to go and look. So I went and it was the only house on the block still standing. COOL!

Then I woke up.
