BFF

I'm really happy that I started this Doodley Doo project

it reminds me of the good ol' days of school

and that oh so bothersome thing they referred to as

HOMEWORK

except this homework I rather like!

I've been swinging quite a bit lately

our land lord left their children's swing set

... so many fond memories I have of playing on swings as a young girl

Swing tag, scrapped knees from jumping into the playground

an entire recess of being "married" with my best friends brother

whe shortly after asked me to be his gf in a note

you know the ones marked yes or no

My best friend and I met at age 6

we were quite a unlikely pair from the start

I was shy and reserved and she was bold and daring

we fought like cats and dogs

it was an on and off again friendship

but the memories we created in our youth

created a sister like bond

In high school our lives were heading in different directions

we grew further apart with each year

but somehow we kept in touch

Today my friend is really struggling

life has not been easy for her

she has gone down a lot of dark paths

yet she is such a beautiful person

and I believe in her so much

I know she has what it takes to make a better life for herself

but I wish I knew how to help her

I sometimes think I should have or could now

somehow be a better friend

More than anything I want her know

how much she has always meant to me

whenever I am around her a part of me comes alive

a silly, carefree girl - a girl I hardly know

I've always been a tightly wound person

but B has always been a source of fun and adventure

My childhood would not have been the same without her

I would escape to be with B as often as I could

to escape the sadness and pain I felt at home

B was never in the mood to talk about "life"

she was about singing and dancing

and honesty I think I would be a real stick in the mud

if B hadn't been there all those years to help me

let things go and just enjoy

being a kid

B - I love you!

I am an incredibly lucky person

to have my very best friend in the whole world

be my wonderful husband

I don't know what I would do without him in my life!!

There are no better quotes in the entire world

that express how my heart truly feels

than those that come from the Hundred Acre Woods

“If you live to be 100,

I hope I live to be 100 minus 1 day,

so I never have to live without you.”

&

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together..

there is something you must always remember.

you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem,

and smarter than you think.

but the most important thing is, even if we're apart..

i'll always be with you.”

Jimbob understands me sometimes better than I understand myself

he accepts my flaws while encouraging me to overcome them

he believe in me, and holds my hand when I'm afraid

he is caring, and kind, and generous

he is wise, and silly, and sometimes wonderfully strange

he is not perfect, but he tries to be

he makes me laugh, and he lets me cry

he is adorable and irritating at the same time

he loves me and know in my heart he always will

he is my best friend and that kind of love

will make it through the hard times

and will be there when things are truly unpleasant

our friendship grows stronger with each year

I hate being parted from him

I am not ME without HIM

and all that might sound like mushy crap

but it's all 100% true - and well

I guess I simply can't describe him and us any other way ^^

Happy Monday Everyone!

If you aren't too busy this next week

maybe you should join me in this weeks

Doodley Doo Challenge?!
