ahhh the power of friends

amazing friends

i had someone tell me recently that family is all you need! family should be your friends and you should want for nothing else. HAHAHAHA yeah right! i mean dont get me wrong the family is amazing and i love spending time with them but im a people person and i need my friends. i need my friends from work, my neighbors, my old great friends i never talk to but know they would be there in a minute if i needed them. i need desperately the friends in my life who have become my counselors over the years. im a memory girl! so many good memories with so many people. so to say i could make it with only family would be false for me... i need all of you too!
some of my oldest friendships are still the best. kat since 3rd grade, lindseys since well forever, hailey since 10th grade. now we are getting old, having challenges, and having families of our own. i still remember dancing around kats room singing to girls just want to have fun, screaming at the tv while watching a suns game at lindseys, and multiple trips to utah with hailey. girls--- you make my world go round!!!

cause we're dumb like that

because we are sisters we can get away with laughing for no good reason, grabbing each others hiney in public, dancing obnoxious, and other equally lame, embarrassing things! but sisters, mine especially are fantastic and great! even if they are a pain in the butt! and for that reason i will miss mine terribly as she moves to Colorado tomorrow. but a 1 hour flight... is better my friend than 5. love you sister! dos gringos will be waiting for us when you return. can anyone say BUBBA GUMP SHRIMP????

reading? whats that?

ok so i admit that in the past i have been a big book nerd. i loved the new pages of the books and the characters on them. it has been roughly 6 months since i have read last..... until this week. im trying to do the things that used to make me happy. books were high on the list. anywho...
im hooked!! my nose has been in a book every spare second. i had honestly forgotten how much i love them. im already thinking about what to read next!

BOOF BOOF

my sister and her friend used to sing this song when they were little. it was about a boof boof- an imaginary bird i think that was horribly ugly and fat! I feel like a boof boof! not so much the ugly part but the grossness about the bird....yep im feeling it. 3 weeks of eating yuck- mostly because of going on vacation and from feeling sick and wanting comfort food. cause when you have a sore throat... a salad and chicken just doesnt sound as good as ice cream and pretzels. im on about week 4 of feeling sick, my imune system is just shot im sure. but im not complaining cause both lungs are up and we are at the end of my 3 month usual stay in the hospital and im still at home playing on the computer. back to the boof boof- amazing how long it takes you to lose weight and get in shape and BAM a couple of weeks of not being on it and WHAM- BOOF BOOF! alas i resort back to the gym and to no more in and out or ice cream! but just for the memories.....
BOOF BOOF..DADADADADADADADADA BOOF BOOF!

us guys in san diego

I love san diego! I love the beach and the smell of the sea, the cool breezes, the green rolling hills, the cute stores, the big boats, the laid back-i will get there when i feel like it feel. I love the amusement parks and the great food. This trip I loved Sea world. Words can't explain how great it was to see Londy so excited about shamu. It was magical. Im very much a kid at heart and love every minute about it. The drive over was even fun and it was so nice to drive in one car thanks to joey for buying that camper packer roof thing. By the end of the trip we had laughed, argued and laughed some more. good times were had. It was great to watch londy play in the sand too! such expression on that little face. I could have a million pictures of the beach and still want more. there is just something about it that boggles my mind. joey says you can see the water for 27 miles before the earth curves. amazing! all in all a great trip! i even felt a little bit of the old happy bri come back- a not sick- not tired girl. it was.......nice!

ahhh the beach
