Day 18: Tell us about your best friend.


Well I have a few best friends.Lets start with the one I have know the longest.

April Michelle Abner Honeycutt & Kayla Smith Mills

April (on the left) Kayla (on the right)

April, Kayla and I have been best friends forever. I have know them the same amount of time. If I had to say how long I have know them I would have to say .. Birth.. lol. not really but it seems like it. I have know these two since like kindergarten.. They know me inside and out.. They also would happen to be my cousins. Isnt that great. April would be a year older then me, which makes her think she knows more them me. lol.. She was mother hen when we was little, she always wanted me, Kayla and ever else was around listen to her. Kayla on the other hand didnt really pay attention to her, Kayla flown her own kite sort of speak..lol. Over the years we have grown apart but I still call her my best friend. We grew up practically next door to each other.. they were and still only a few mins away when ever I need them. When we where kids we always spent every summer together and come up with the most ridiculous games to play. Oh and to this day April will deny ever watching Barney as a kid... Idky. Shes nuts. lol. Me and Kayla know the truth though.. lol. 

Oh and to mention they both are great moms. Matter of a fact April is have her second child Friday. : ) Its a girl. I cant wait to see her. Lol. 

So that covers those two. lol. Next would have to be...

Cassie Nicole Teague

(Shes in the middle)

Cassie would happen to be my next friend. {Shes a keeper} Cassie I have also known all my life she would be a few years younger them me but thats okay.. she will always keep me young at heart. Oh and this one.. She LOVES chicken... lol. Shes so fun to hang out with. She has 5 other siblings that drive us nuts.. lol. jk. We love them all. 

So If I had to pick a time of how long i have know Cassie it would have to be since she has been born. lol. I really dont remember it but we have always grown up together. During grade school years we really didnt talk to each other that much just on the bus ride home and maybe on the weekends when we would see each other. I would hang out with her older sister more. Now since we have gotten older we hang out all the time and we talk about everything.. and i mean everything. We have the same taste in music and books. Like I said she keeps me young. lol jk. We have grown really close these past few years. Shes helped me grow as a person and I Thank God for her. Like I said Shes a Keeper.. lol.

Oh and she can put a smile and a laugh on ur face anytime of day... : D

We got really close in high school.. freshmen year was a tough one there at the end lucky us we both realized our disagreements, well more like a friend we thought was a friend to both of us, betrayed us and tryed to turn us against each other but in the end it didnt work... and we have grown closer ever since. Our jr. and sr. year of hs was the best. Then after that freshmen year at college was a blast. If i had to choose a song to describe it i would have to make a playlist... lol. along with some comedian acts.. lol. We had a great experience. We still remain really close to this day.. we talk about everything.. gossip gossip gossip.. lol. We also love ROAD TRIPS.... they are the best.. every time we get in the car together its a road trip.. with us u never know where u might end up. On top of a mountain.. or in a park swinging all of our worry away..specially when its been a stressful day or week.. mouth... lol.

Random quotes

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.

 “what if you could buy self confidence in a jar. take twice a day, with a full glass of tea; do not take on an empty stomach. now this would not be self confidence in the form of mood elevating drugs or weight loss supplements. more of a jar, you could open up & it whispers beautiful things to you. confidence is such an alluring quality in creatures & really, everyone should feel confident. you’re alive, that makes you beautiful. everyone is beautiful. slight things make you beautiful. that speck of gold on your otherwise green eyes, that freckle the shape of maine, the gap in your teeth, the fullness of your body. everyone is beautiful. if this is true, why is it so impossible to feel sometimes? we sink our skin into bathtubs of luke warm water searching for our flaws. the superficial reason he/she might not fall in love with you. we don’t look within towards the passion in our blood- the things people will actually fall in love with. looks fade & anyone can fall in lust with a look. it’s trite but true that in the long run that is not what you want in a mate. you want someone who intrigues you, makes you a better person, someone who compliments your very existence. if self confidence could be purchased in a jar it might say your heart beats like a rabbit & you glow when you smile. it might say the way your brain works is extraordinary, you notice things everyone else is too busy to see. it might just whisper you’re breathing, you…are…alive.”

“Forget about the consequences of failure. Failure is only a temporary change in direction to set you straight for your next success.”

I wanna make you smile when ever you're sad, carry you around when your arthritis is bad. Ill get you're medicine when you're tummy aches; build a fire when the furnace brakes. Ill miss you, kiss you, give you my coat when you are cold. Need you, feed you, Ill even let you hold the remote control. So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink, put you to bed when you have had to much to drink. All I want to do is grow old with you. -

Day 05

Day 05: Your favorite quote.

I think everything in life is art. what you do. how u dress. the way you love someone, and how you talk. your smile and your personality. what you believe in, and all your dreams. the way you drink your tea. how you decorate your home. or party. your grocery list. the food you make. how your writing looks. and the way you fell. life is art. 

and

To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.
