Broken Vow- this one's for you Lalo

Alright, happy tuesday!!! this means that Riley has officially been going for 10 days... I'M IN THE DOUBLE DIGITS NOW!!! i still am doing really well... i thought since my husband is off fighting a war, and it's dangerous that i would be an absolute WRECK... however, i'm not. i'm actually doing better than when he was at bootcamp... give me a few weeks, and i'll probably have a few break-downs under my belt :)

so today i am missing Lauren Billings... gosh, we've been friends for almost 10 years now, we used to have fights in high school... but i honestly can't remember what a single one of them was about. we were basically attached at the hip especially sophomore year... oh gosh, we were SUCH nerds, in the fall we were joking about how we should paint the schools roses red... cause they were white.. and we joked about it all year... so on the last day of school we actually painted them red... not all of them, we weren't that gutsy, but  a few.. we also rode around on her Kick A scooter... went through multiple boyfriends, one of us got our first kiss(totally wasn't me, and please don't murder me for putting this up here HAHA)  but the thing i miss very most, is her piano. i've never been able to play the piano, between her and Meg they taught me a few songs, and if you ask Lauren's mom, i played the same 40 seconds of Christophori's dream about a ZILLION times..

But at least a few times a week, i would go over to Lauren's and we'd sit at the piano, and she'd play, and we'd both sing.. we had a HUGE collection of favorites, which included... drumroll please

anything Hercules(or disney for that matter)
Could've Been(by Tiffany. we actually sang this one for the talent show that year, and rocked it might i add)
Wicked
Celine Dion( we were singing my heart will go on one day, and i BELTED and nailed the High F... had no idea that was an accomplishment till Lauren was like "HOLY CRAP SAV")

but our very favorite, was anything Josh Groban... we have a slight obsession with good ol' JG, we ended up singing "when you say you love me" at my mom's wedding. but Broken Vow, and Remember when it Rained were always sung...

and today i am REALLY missing singing at the top of my lungs. i haven't belted in a LONG time... and my voice is a little weak from mis-use, but i'm trying to re strengthen it. The relief society president found out that i sang all throughout high school.. and had a look on her face like she was plotting... so i've decided that it's better safe than sorry! so dearest upstairs neighbor... i'm sorry that you have to listen to me singing Glee and Lady Antebellum everyday in the tub and or Shower... but at least i'm not tone-deaf :)

Lauren, i miss you!!! so go get on your keyboard, and play some JG for old times sake!!
