Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been close with for awhile. a.k.a. BFF's

This was clearly a four way tie. Five way i guess, if you count my parents as separate beings.

Alriiiight, lets get started. Through high school, me and Kayla had always been pretty tight.  Even through many MANY dramatic moments, losing a member of an old "trio", college/senior year related stress, and everything else. For some reason we stayed besties. We were kinda complementary, she was the gorgeous tall skinny girl with guys chasing after her wherever she went, I was the nerdy clarinet obsessed girl with braces.. and somehow we clicked.  I miss everything we would do in high school. Dress shopping, boy looking (remember that one time at Target in 8th grade...??) This girl made high school bearable.  Somehow we've drifted during college. But maybe that's what was supposed to happen, you know?  I don't know why, and I don't exactly like it. It happened anyway, and it is really sad to me. I miss being besties with her more than anything. I'm just not good at saying things like that in person. 

 Next... So my parents are awesome.  Look at them, adorably squishing me in between them. That was mostly my dad's fault i guess...but anyway. We were never really a family that threw "I love you" around too much as i grew up, and it never bothered me.  They've done pretty much everything for me. Put me through clarinet lessons (aka "paid off Joyce's boat payments!" :P), BOUGHT me a new clarinet, paid for pretty much everything since I'm a bum and have never had a legit job, etc, etc... Plus they're the most adorable, chill couple in the world. My mom's a nurse, so she's automatically pretty chill, and very VERY caring (hence all my care packages, especially the ones sent after I've injured myself), and my dad is just a chill guy. Obviously. Thankfully, i get my ability to tan from my practically native american padre, and not my norweigan mother. But she did give me her depressing teeth problem. Which i continually give her crap for :) Anyway. I love my parents. And i don't tell them that nearly enough, especially with all that they do for me, even when I'm two hours away and cant bring myself to regularly call them. But i do love them. :)

DELIN. Not to copy hers or anything, but i seriously do feel like I've known her forever.  We just met via Clarinet Studio here at UNI this year, and all i can say is...it's fate. We bring out the craziest parts of each other, and already she's been here for me through many stressful moments.  We talk about anything, pancakes, BT/MT/LT/NT, Dr McCandless stories/picture drawings, literally everything. I dont know how it happened, or why. But I'm so glad for her. I think I've already raved about Madz at some point on this blogggg, so yeah. Basically my love for her is well proven. <3 <3 

Alright...haters gonna hate. So we've only been dating for a few months, but I know I'm really close to this guy. We randomly started talking way back at the end of October, thanks to Rachel Jones, and I never ever thought it would get to the dating point...ever. I honestly still don't quite believe it actually worked out, but hey, I'm not complaining... :) Jake Humburg is probz the best thing that's happened to me in a long time. For one, he's 6'3". For anyone that really knows me, you understand how exciting that is to me.. He always says the cutest things, loves me for who I am (whether I'm freaking out/stressed/upset/overly happy), and is seriously perfect for me in every way. I cant wait to see how this may end up. :)

So these are people I've been close to for the longest. Whether it's literally time-wise, or whether it's just getting to know people extremely well within a short amount of time. Either way, these people have had big impacts on my life. A lot of others have too, of course..but it's different.  

Now I need to finish filling out little V-Day cards my parents sent me haha. Obviously i have matured while I've been in college. :)  

ps, I'm officially a pledge to SAI, and the little sister of one awesome Jennifer Miller.  I'm so unbelievably excited for all of that to start up. You all have NO idea. 

So maybe in a way I have grown up. Looking back on old friendships, compared to new ones..there are definitely things that have changed. Different things to worry about, less things to have melodrama about, people who don't care about the little things.. It's still exciting. And new.

But then again, people will say I'm not mature, because i like to color. Nothing wrong with that. :D
