I HATE GROWING UP
I realized today that we are growing up..
Krystal, One of my best friends for the past 12 years, since 7th grade.. is moving to Spokane, Washington on Monday.. and I don't think I have really come to terms with it yet.. yes since August of 2000 we have been apart, but only within in a few hours of driving distance. now we are going to be on opposite sides of the country, and let me tell you.. it's not so fun to lose your best friends. We've been through more than anyone else I know, and it made us so strong. Granted we've had our fights, and make-ups, but we have so many lasting memories.. ones that nobody else will ever understand... like the time we played mission impossible to the car wash, talking to the boys outside my bedroom window, getting kicked out of fairway, Annie, Lil' Abner, Grease, Middle School and High School dances, Cedar point, stupid boys, Amos, babysitting her brothers (who are also my best friends) sneaking out of my house, mufasa, our stories we wrote... and many many more..
In 40 days (I think that's the current countdown), my other best friend Leigh, of roughly 14 years will be leaving me. This one is a little bit harder, because we've never been apart. We've been friends since 5th grade..We lived nextdoor to eachother, went to HS together, went to the same college together, and have never really had to be apart.. I don't know how weird it is going to be without her in Mt.P with me next fall. Yes we've also had our fights, but not really any that we can't look back and laugh at. I don't think I would have been able to make it through the last 5 years without her, she has literally been my rock through so many hard spots, that I would have not made it without her. So many memories, bar nights, frat parties, Tailgating, football games (HS and College) fun times at the snack store, girls nigts, shopping, drama-rama.. and the list goes on.. We've cried over stupid boys, and dumb roommates, and bitched about everything possible at CMU, the night she pushed my drunk ass out of her car into my front yard and drove off.. we've been through it all...
I honestly cannot imagine my life without either of these amazing people, and soon I will have to live it without both of them. Granted I have many other amazing friends who I love and adore, and I am sure I will make new ones, but look out because you're going to constantly be compared to Leigh or Krystal, who will ALWAYS hold a special place in my heart- forever I hope..
wow that was sappy- but I love you guys, and wish you the best of luck and hope that you get everything you want and deserve!
ps- don't forget about me, ok?!?!
