The House That Helped Build Me

I have been incredibly busy with moving out but it has finally happened!! It's been about a week and a half and I cant help but think of all the memories and fun times spent there. All the good times with friends...

Girls night every Tuesday and watching our favorite TV shows

Having our house be the central meeting place

Late night hang outs

Making smores in the backyard (and in the fireplace)

Christmas Parties

Summer BBQs

Having friends over for dinner

Back to School Girl's Night Out

Craft Days

...and oh so many more.

Then I think of all the times spent here with my BFFFF FFF, Erin. Oh my goodness we have gone through so much here in the past 2 1/2 years haha it's crazy!! I think of all the times spent in the living room on the couches watching backed up recordings on TV while we both sat on our computers, times getting 

ready for things with each other, painting our nails, talks on the floor in the hall (or eating Wendy's on our late night food runs), falling asleep watching Bride Wars, sitting on the couches in the back

room during rain storms, blasting music through out the house, kitchen counter snack time talks, using each other's mirrors to get ready, talks across the hall (I think I miss these the most), our marker wars (okay well that only happened once but it was too funny haha), the time our house was haunted 

haha...that really happened..., trying new things with make-up, hiding in random spots around the house (such as the pantry or Erin's closet) and jumping out and scaring each other, playing Christmas music and decorating the house for our favorite time of year, me always making

 us late, not hearing my 3 alarms in the morning and having Erin yell at me to get up (haha sorry and thank you at the same time), dancing in the dining room and the doorways haha, tanning in the backyard, craft days in Erin's craft room in the basement, lazy days hanging out in our rooms, that one night we were both laying in bed 

and saw that huge flash of light throughout the house (the night of that meteor), going into the bathroom to shower and letting Erin know I'm naked haha don't ask, days where we got to spend the whole day together doing whatever we wanted, hanging out in our backyard on cool summer afternoons, walking

 up to Shop N' Go, crying sessions in most of the rooms in that house, waking up Erin multiple times to see if she "heard that noise?!", sitting on the floor eating bags of chips, making dinners together, and I

 could honestly go on and on with memories of Erin and I living in that house. That house was part of the house that built me. I did a lot of growing up there. I loved every moment and every memory. I had the greatest time spending those 2 1/2 years starting my own life in the real world. But we're growing up and things change, life moves on and so do we. Erin is about to start her new married life and I'm about to start my new life out on my own and on the other side of the valley. I'm nervous since I'm not used to the west side of the valley but so excited at the same time. I have the most amazing group of girl friends in the world. I couldn't ask for better friends! 

They are there for me, my family is there for me, and he is there for me.

Life is good!
