goodbyes and summer skies

wow, this week has been fricking uhmayzing.

monday, climbed grants roof and the hill near his house with him, alyse, and carlos then afterwards went to the paramore/no doubt concert.

tuesday, ran around alpine/the junction with cosette, alyse, and grant. then, went back to my house and walked up to the park.

wednesday, didn't go to school. instead, went to ihop with grant, alyse, cosette, and carlos. afterwards carlos had to leave, then the rest of us walked all over af and tried on dresses at ross, slept on beds at bed bath and beyond, and looked at fishies at wal-mart. then we went back to grants house and watched seven pounds.

thursday, yearbook day. afterschool we went to kneaders and got asiago bread and italian creme soda's. then went back to hayleighs house and sat in her boat in her backyard. then she had to go get ready for her brothers graduation, so we went to cosette's house and watched 21.

friday, last day of school, walked to the junction with grant and got mountain dew, then waited for his mom to come get us so we could go have our breakfast party. hayleigh showed up, followed by aubrey, followed by cosette. we made crepes, and breakfast sandwhiches. we then proceeded to migrate like coconuts down to roxberry, except my madre decided she needed to come pick me up when we had gotten to legacy park. then i went home and got my dress, and convinced my mom to go to orem so i could get a pair of converse to wear with my dress. then i got dropped off at alyse's a few minutes after she had gotten there, shortly followed by cosette, grant and aubrey, followed by carlos. we started getting ready for the stake dance. we watched the first couple minutes of moulin rouge, then decided to just chill in her room and listen to music. we then migrated to the park near her house. after we went back and ate taquitos, then her madre drove us to the stake dance.

we showed up, and realized it wasn't formal...(i suppose we just have this thing with always dressing wrong) ah well, we still had fun. but, we decided that the dances in lehi are lame cuz no one actually dances, and they have gay music. whereas the dances in alpine are way fun, cuz everyone dances the whole entire time. you would feel out of place if you weren't dancing. they still have somewhat crappy music, but the difference is you feel like you're having fun.

so, during this last week of school, this oh so very week of epicality, i've been thinking. people are getting older, moving on, changing schools, changning residences, becoming more mature, taking summer long vacations, and so on. like for instance; red is now a sophomore and going to lone peak, alysie my dearest wifey is going to lehi, i am moving, grant is going to efy, california, and boston, and as a result will only be home for two weeks at the end of june, oh and alyse is also moving to pleasant grove for a month starting monday. i will miss alyse until she is back, i'll miss not seeing red next year at school, i'll miss grant the whole summer he is gone. i am going to try my hardest to make this summer one worth remembering, one you look back on when you're thirty or fourty years old and say yeahhh, that was a pretty kick ass summer. i want to stay friends with all of you amazing people that so completely and totally rock my world. i knoweth not what i would do without you all.

something we were talking about on friday night when we ditched the stake dance and laid in the middle of the road to watch the stars kind of stuck out to me. we were saying how this would be the only night the whole summer when all of us would be together, me, cosette, alyse, grant, carlos, and aubrey. there will be other times, i am sure but still. those minutes, however long we spent out there talking, singing along to alyse's phone, watching the stars, laying in the street. it was all just so perfect. you really do have to make the most of what little time you have. life is a miracle, cherish it. be in love with life. make lasting memories. i love you all, and hope you have a great summer!
