Tribute to a Friend.

this all goes out to: Rachel Jorgensen.

you have been gone practicallyyyyy the whole summer. i just miss you so dang much. i need you back in my life! cant wait for you to step out of that plane on monday. cause I WILL BE THERE! just kidding, i wont. but i will see you as soon as i can! awhh i just miss you so much and want to be with you all the time because you make me... a better person.

now here are just a few memories that we have shared together.
BECAUSE WE HAVE BEEN FRIENDS SINCE 2ND GRADE.

when we played stapley intramural bball

when we would jump out in the freezing weather

when i was little chubbs, and you were a doll.

when we went to newport, EVERY YEAR.

when we played soccer . . .
and you curled you hair for pictures. haha.

when you hated pictures of both of us
(but i secretly loved myself in it)

when we danced.
...and i was still chubby.

when we had random, cute, sassy photo shoots.

once again,
CHUBBY.

when time to blossom was the greatest week of my life.
(tell carla that)

when i got to hang out with you for one week this summer.
and it was also the greatest week of my life
(dont tell carla that one)

when you were just a cute, innocent little beach girl.
(i wish i was in this one)

when freshman year was the greatest,
BECAUSE OF YOU.

when we loved to act like MJ.
*and still do :)

when i would fake an injury, just for you to ride with me on the wheelchairs at target. i know i seemed annoyed that you were on my lap the whole time,
but really, i wasnt :)
(its usually the other way around. this picture is special)

when we were just cute...

...and still are.

i love you.
now just come home.
hahahahaaaa you are really the greatest friend
i could EVER ask for & you are always there for me!
you dont care what i look like (most the time)
and you usually never care what i act like!...
well thats cause you act the same :) well
i cant wait to see you soon and thanks for being the greatest!

xoxo,
{the little chubby girl named alexa}
