Roomies For LIFE!


I have these really cool roommates.  I even got nicknamed a really cool name too.  They call me delbs.  But what's cooler, is we call Taylor nuggs; she's black.  But Riki and Lish are still just called Riki and Lish.  Obviously nuggs&delbs are ranked higher in the house because of our cool names. Right?



We have really cool adventures as roomies.  I get to cuddle with Taylor EVERY night.  That's like a dream come true for me.  I mean, who gets to complain when I wake up on top of Tay only to find her snoring?! Every once in a while we are all home at the SAME time.  I constantly giggle.  And I have this really cool wardrobe now if y'all haven't noticed yet.  Aaaaannnddd. I get to go on cool trips too!  One time, we all even went to Moab and we took a detour stop in Colorado, then backtracked 100 miles to get to our destination.  That was all Blake's fault, I guess he just wanted to cross a state line?!...





  

Even one time, before we were roommates, we convinced half of the Facebook world that Riki&Blake were engaged.  But we sure got them.  That just proves how funny we all are.  


I really love my roommates.  I love how funny they are.  We will all definitely be Roomies for LIFE!


Aren't we so HOTT?!

I miss the old you.

It's a simple statement. I miss the old you.

I miss the days filled with summer love. We used to run around like 2 kids without a worry in the world. 

I miss going fishing with you. We always had the craziest adventures. 

I remember your birthday. That was a GOOD day.

I miss how close we use to be. 
I remember being so angry with my mom one day, I stormed out of the house and I had no idea where I was going. Somehow I ended up in your front yard and you came out and asked me "What's wrong?" and I replied "I just needed to see you." At that time, that answer sufficed. 

I miss laughing. The way you made me laugh was unbelievable. 

I miss the days when they were filled with you. 

Crazy phone calls, constant texts, arguing, laughing, planning our next adventures.

 I miss going to the lake and begging you not to push me in. I knew it was coming, but I'd always squeal before you flung me over the edge.

I miss hiding in trees and on tops of churches. 

I miss your friendship. It just made sense. 

I miss our talks about how scary the future was. 

I miss how easy it was. Without hesitation, I would pick up the phone and dial your number just to tell you how frustrated I was. But now, I can hardly choke out "Hi". 

I miss how I would look into your eyes and know exactly how you felt at that moment. I don't understand what happened and how things changed. 

But I miss you. 
I miss the OLD you. 
I miss the old ME.

American Honey.

Many, or most, of you will be familiar with the song 'American Honey' by Lady A.  I've always loved it.  Always have I enjoyed it.  I remember belting it out when they opened for Tim McGraw a couple summers ago. I have heard and I have enjoyed this song.  But never have I listened.

I love this song.  I have it on repeat everywhere I go.  I'm obsessed.  I was with Daulton on Sunday night and one of our friends, Jill, sang it to us.  Not only does Jill have a phenomenal voice, but I really listened to the song for the first time.  I've been hooked ever since.

I know it's silly, but do you ever hear a song and think to yourself "That's ME."  I did with this song.  I play the guitar so I was all grumpy that I wasn't clever enough to think of the song myself.  However, the point being, I feel like that song showed my soul.

There is a part where it says:
Steady as a preacher
Free as a weed
Couldn't wait to get goin'
But wasn't quite ready to leave
So innocent, pure and sweet
American Honey

It catches my breath EVERY time.  On the reals, this is ME.  I've always felt like I have had roots tying me down and that I am a home-body. On the contrary, I believe I am a free spirit.  I see things differently and I love to fly. 

 I've always wanted to "get goin'".  I have always gone mock shnell and never stopped.  I'm the girl who 'has it all together'.  Yet I find myself becoming an adult and I'm just not ready..  

I love this song.  It is simply ME.  I wanted to share that with my fellow bloggers.  

Photo Compliments of SD... ME!!!! :)
