I’ve got SUNSHINE…

Oh how I love sunny days!! The beginning of this week started out rather rough. Probably because of my wild night in Vegas. Some people get a kick out of blacking out and not remembering their night, I on the other hand HATE it! I’ve never been so embarrassed in my life. Sunday morning when I was forced to get up, 2 hours after going to bed mind you, I realized that I was still drunk! The entire car ride home I was wishing death upon myself. It took a good 6 hours to make it home and I was scrunched in the middle of a Dodge Magnum. No thanks, never again! The second I got home I got into my bed and it was lights out until 6am Monday morning.

“Monday, Monday can’t trust that day. Monday, Monday it just turns out that way. Monday, Monday won’t go away. Monday, Monday it’s here to stay…” Thank you The Mamas & The Papas for explaining Monday in such a catchy song. If I could redo this past Monday, I would jump on it. I realized I had so much homework due this week which of course, sent me into a whirl wind. I get myself so stressed out when it comes to school I physically make myself sick. Not to mention it was a gray, cloudy, rainy day. A solidifying factor that automatically puts me in a bad mood!

Believe it or not I made it successfully to Sunday and managed to get one paper done and an extension on the other! Thank you to my teachers for realizing that students have lives outside of school. Today is such a bright and sunny day, it makes me realize all the things I am thankful for! It makes gray, unhappy Mondays seem so silly. I want to take a moment to give a shout out to my closest friends.

Ryan- I may not have liked you at first when I was thinking I was high and mighty at 19, but you have come to be my longest and greatest friend. You have never judged me for the things I have done, said, or wanted. I have experienced things with you that I wouldn’t imagine experiencing at all and whenever I am with you I never stop laughing. We have gone months without talking due to the distance between us or points we are at in life and yet it is never hard for us to pick right back up where we left off. You always brighten my day.

Danielle- I am so thankful to have met you! You are always there for me when I need a shoulder to cry on or when I need to scream and vent about my life. When we get together we have the greatest laughs, especially when I drop my crazy one liners, “Ugh! I think the cigarette smoke is really getting to me, my nose hurts!” as I am lighting a cigarette in a Vegas casino. You are such a beautiful girl inside and out and I am so proud to call you my friend.

Karla- Thank you for giving me a chance when I started in customer service at Office Solutions. We became such good friends in such a short time and I can honestly say you are the sister I wish I had. I love our pretend fights and your crazy dramatic stories. I have learned so much from you and I am strong willed woman today because I follow your example. I have had some rough times this past year and you dropped everything to be there for me and comfort me when I needed it the most. I love you dearly!

Katie- We also became good friends in such a short time. You are such an encouraging person and make me want to do well in life. You give me constant support when I am struggling in school and it helps so much. I feel like we are the same person sometimes because I can relate with you on so many levels. I am thankful for all the time you have been there for me, especially towards the end of last year and the beginning of this one. “We’re the three best friends that anyone can have…”

Michael-Well I can honestly say you’ve taught me everything I know! You have always showed great care to me and never judged me for anything. You’ve never stopped looking out for me and have accepted me back with open arms when I pulled a 3 year disappearing act. I am always smiling when you’re around, you’ve given me some great laughs. I love you!

Jimmy- We go way back buddy…from broken finger nails to chewed up guitar pics! I always have a good time when you’re around. You also have never judged me, thank you for that. You tell it how it is and that is so refreshing because I hate it when people sugar coat things. You make my best friend happy and that makes me happy. I am missing you like crazy right now, but am also thrilled that you are able to live it up in Australia. Please come back to us!!

Ryan- We go even farther back, I think I was in 7th or 8th grade when we met! All throughout high school you looked out for me and been the big brother I don’t have. I’ll never forget how you asked me to your senior prom, running into chapel filled with students and teachers in a banana suit screaming, “Jenny! Jenny!! Will you go to prom with me??” You are such a generous friend. I have the fondest and funniest memories with you!

Brian- I have known you the longest…we’re talking since BIRTH! I have a blast every time we get together! I am so happy that you live closer now because our families have stopped the Thanksgiving tradition. The story of me making you cry as a toddler will never get old and everyone that we meet together will hear it at some point. Now sounds like a good time…When sitting at the dinner table I used to bang on it with my little palms and Brian would instantly begin to cry. I, being the little devil I am, would chuckle at this and keep on banging!

Mike-You are my newest friend but I feel like I have known you my entire life! It is so easy to be with you because of your radiant positive attitude. I have had some cloudy days and you have been my sunshine. I’ve never met anyone who, right off the bat, I can be completely and totally me. I never stop smiling when your around and I look forward to making lasting memories with you!
