Like PB and J...

Well today was an little of everything in many aspects...hurt, laughter, awkwardness, tiredness, to just name a few. I had much on my mind so my drive home was good in many ways. A somewhat 30ish minute drive is a good time for reflecting on different things and did just that tonight as I do most drives home. I normally have my itouch or a cd playing quietly or loud, depending on the mood i'm in and how tired I am. Well tonight I had the radio playing and the song Shake It by Metro Station came on. There are just some songs that play
and you instantly think of a memory involving someone, a place, time in your life or all three.
That song is one of those songs. I instantly think of the fall of '08, freshman year of college, and the lovely amazing Britany Miller. That song use to play a lot on the radio while we drove in my old car for late night runs to Walmart for Jones and Reese's Puffs or Taco Bell for chicken quesadillas and strawberry fruista freezes. I started to think about Britany and I and freshman year. So much has happen since than. We became the two girls of a group of best friends that pretty much spent every weekend together. We fell in love with boys and both felt such hurt and heartache when they left. We've laid out under the stars and talked for hours about the future and past and present. And we've done crazy things late at night that we know we would have the most fun doing together. We've gone to concerts of our choosing and one we would never thought we were would end of there at the end of the day but we were thrilled because we got to be
together. We were bold and got piercings and spend many of late nights and weekends at SAU.
I'm so glad that fall, September day, in the park by SAU, with our Ben and Jerry's, Britany and I actually made the effort to become better friends. God knew we needed each other in our lives, a best friend at that time. So many of my memories and pictures include Brit, I love that girl. I love how when I'm around her I'm me and I don't have to act any other way because I know she loves me. I love her sense of style and that we are still cool, well think we are anyways, enough to get matching clothes or whatever. She is such a beautiful, intelligent, creative, Godly woman that i'm privileged to have as one of my best friends. And probably if it wasn't for her friendship and introduction, I mightn't have not met another one of my best friend that I love so much and am happy beyond words that he is in my life now as well.
Things have changed a lot since that first semester of college, but Britany is still one of my best friends that I love dearly and thank the lord for her friendship. Plus, she's still always there when I'm having a crappy day, and ready to eat some Ben and Jerry's ice crean with me ;) Well, that is all that's coming to me right now because it is pretty late or early, depending on how you look at it, and I should get some sleep. So goodnight and sweet dreams.

Us and our Ben and Jerry's. We love our ice cream.

The start of our crazy, awesome college friendship.

We knew it was going to be a good year because we would have each other.

Britany's and Koz's fall break 2008

We have many laughs together, especially when we need them the most. May 2010.

I love her. Summer 2010.
