I'm Crazy!

I've lost ten pounds since my surgery! *jumps up and down happily*

And you know what? I feel it. I don't feel as huge as I usually do. And even though I have a long ways to go.....I'm doing it! :) Like on Saturday when I went to Carthage with my fam, I felt confident. I felt carefree! I even stood on a hill beside a main highway with my best friend Abby(we got honked at the most 10 times, thank you!). I never do things like that! It felt so awesome!!!

Me and my crazy BFF :)

Me on Valentine's Day <3

Find Out Who Your Friends Are!

I have the most awesomest friends ever! The believe me, they inspire me, they trust me and they know I am me! Never in my life have I been so thankful to find out who my most trusting friends are, who I know with all my heart are my faithful friends!

Run your car off the side of the road
Get stuck in a ditch way out in the middle of nowhere
Or get yourself in a bind lose the shirt off your back
Need a floor, need a couch, need a bus fare

This is where the rubber meets the road
This is where the cream is gonna rise
This is what you really didn't know
This is where the truth don't lie

You find out who your friends are
Somebody's gonna drop everything
Run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas, get there fast
Never stop to think 'what's in it for me?' or 'it's way too far'
They just show on up with their big old heart
You find out who your friends are

Everybody wants to slap your back
wants to shake your hand
when you're up on top of that mountain
But let one of those rocks give way then you slide back down look up
and see who's around then

This ain't where the road comes to an end
This ain't where the bandwagon stops
This is just one of those times when
A lot of folks jump off

You find out who your friends are
Somebody's gonna drop everything
Run out and crank up their car
Hit the gas, get there fast
Never stop to think 'what's in it for me?' or 'it's way too far'
They just show on up with their big old heart
You find out who your friends are

When the water's high
When the weather's not so fair
When the well runs dry
Who's gonna be there?

True Friendship

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you. ~Elbert Hubbard, The Notebook, 1927

I do not believe I have ever had what you will call a true friendship. That one person(whether it be girl or boy) that you can tell absolutely anything to and they will not judge you or blab it to anyone else. That one friend who would do anything for you, if you were stuck in a ditch in the middle of nowhere they would drop everything for you. I guess I can really honestly say that the only people in my life that I am absolutely 100% positive that would do ANYTHING for me are my parents and grandparents. That sometimes makes me sad and sometimes it makes me feel so very love and unworthy of it.

"Great friends email you everyday, Good friends email you once a week, a friend will email you every now and then."

I'm still looking for great friends. I had great friends. Used to get an email everyday until I found out that they were stuck up snobs and jealousy from them made me realized that I didn't need them in my life anymore! It still hurts every now and then that they are not a big part of my life anymore, but I am a stronger person because of that.

So someday I hope to discover true friendship for I now know what it is. I can truly say that without a doubt that my parents and grandparents are my true best friends. And Jesus of course is my number 1 best friend, I know with all my heart! And I can also truly say that I have many internet friends who make me smile everyday!

The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart. ~Elisabeth Foley
