you may not believe this

so you may not believe that on monday i called 104.3 the cowboy & quali-flyed for a drawing for a trip to see george & reba in nashville on september 11th. {also received a cd from the stash}
if you don't believe that you especially will not believe that the very next day i called 101.5 the eagle because i was determined to win brad paisley tickets. i took a break @ work at 12:10 so i could go out to my car & listen for the brad paisley song & on my last attempt to call in it rang & rang, i was about to hang up because i figured they already had the winner & all of a sudden he answers & said i was caller 10 & asked if i wanted a pair of brad paisley tickets i was freakinggg out & practically yelled "more than you know!!!"!! you serioulsy would have thought i won the lottery. so if my luck continues on friday morning i'll hear my name on 104.3 ksop@ 7:15 am which means i would win the fly away to nashville. i really think i'd pass out.

repeat

"somebody's gotta scratch your back, the places you can't reach.
say something that'll make you laugh when that's exactly what you need.
and i hope that's me, i hope that's me.
somebody's gonna get dressed up, take you out for valentines.
getting lots of jealous looks thinkin' that's one lucky guy.
and i hope that's me, i hope that's me.
and you keep on wondering who is gonna love you like i already do, and i keep wondering when you'll see, that eventually.
somebody's gotta throw on a coat, when your fever hits a hundred and two.
go down & pick your prescription up, come home & fix you soup.
and i hope that's me, i hope that's me.
somebody's gonna buy a ring, somebody's gonna make you cry.
somebody's gonna lift that veil, and get to look into your eyes.
and i hope that's me, i hope that's me.
cause you keep on wondering who is gonna love you like i already do, and i keep wondering when you'll see, maybe eventually.
old man on a front porch swing, looking back on his long life.
glass of iced tea in his hand, other arm around his wife.
and i hope that's you, i hope that's me.
i hope that's you, i hope that's me.
i hope that's you, i hope that's me.
i hope that's you, i hope that's me.
i hope that's me."



by repeat i mean that i have literally listened to this song at least 1oo times today.
thanks bradley for the amazing song. {brad paisley}

apology

sorry for the immensely depressing blog post.
things are still rough around my neck of the woods & i miss my best friend a little more each day but i know in the end things will play out how they are meant to.
until that happens i have decided to focus a little bit more on the one thing i do have control over & that is me. i'm gonna rededicate myself to the gospel. get the career i want & back into photography. start working out again & learning more about patience. i thought i had acquired patience...but learned i'm far from mastering that little virtue. so here is to learning more about handling lifes twists & turns & faith & patience.
on an exciting note i'm starting to take pictures again...my favorite from kami & robbie's engagements. they get married september 18th couldn't be more excited for them! <3

miss you

dear best friend,
the last 48 hours have been eventful, but i feel numb to it all, & i'm hoping this will somehow reach you.
i've been dying to tell you about the bomb threat @ work & how they didn't even inform us or evacuate us.
or how the little midget lady tried to peek out my window to see why cops were everywhere & it took her 3.4 minutes to realize that she was too short to see over the suburban i had to bite my lip from laughing out loud & asking her if she wanted a boost.
or how the spreadsheet from you know where came back today & all i could do was laugh because i wanted to cry.
or how i wanted to text you: "niu".
or how i ran into my 9th grade seminary teacher & felt awful i couldn't remember his name & he remembered me.
or show you the hilarious youtube video megan showed me so we could make it a new inside joke.
or how my scriptures that have been lost for months randomly showed up in the lost & found.
or how i'm taking engagement pictures for one of my good friends who is getting married in 6 weeks & i'm actually pretty nervous about it, but in a good way.
or how i tried to find the big dipper tonight so i could tell you i found it first & hoped you were trying to find it too.
or how i'm finally pursuing the career i want & i'm gonna at least fake it big until i make it big no matter how long it takes.
or how i still can't make myself list my car on ksl & how i'd secretly hope you would tell me not to sell it again or that i needed to sell it & buy a truck so i would be safe.

but the truth is, maybe i'd just cry & tell you that getting out of bed in the morning is the hardest. because i still know today i won't see you but i still hope beyond anything else the next time i look at my phone the text will be from 'forrester'or i'll drive home & see your red truck parked out front or how i keep faking smiles because i know one day it will feel normal again. and how i miss you being the last person i talk to at night & the first person in the morning. & maybe i'd want you to lie & say this big hole in my heart will eventually get smaller and i'll remember how to talk to people without feeling awkward. but tonight i know i'm stuck talking to myself.
i miss you.
sincerely,
your bem
