Would you like some fries with that "waah"mburger?

This weekend I helped one of my best friends answer to Prom. I love her. She is great. It's her last dance and Bountiful High because she is moving. She is moving to California at the end of the school year. I am so horribly sad. Seriously. I am literally crying right now. Holy bleep.

Lets start out with how we met. My mom taught her in the 2nd grade. My mom thought we would make good friends. So, she set up a playdate for us (remember playdates?). Maddie was wearing a sleeveless dress when I walked in to her house. For some reason I was horrified that she didn't have a sweater on! Then I stubbed my toe. I made her put a sweater on. Oh, what a lovely day that was. Little did I know that she would still be my best friend today.

She also has one of THE GREATEST FAMILIES EVER. Seriously. Don't get me started on her family. I don't even know if they will comprehend how much I will miss them.

Dear Blake Family,

If you could not move.... that would be great. You don't even know how much I am going to miss you. What will I miss you ask? Oh, only 100,000 little things.

I will miss the familiarity of your home. The familiarity of coming over on a Friday night (just walking in without knocking of course). There are always cookies in that clear jar of yours, and how they are gone within 5 minutes after Erin baked them. I will miss holding little Miss Kate, and playing games with Syd. I will miss Ali showing me a cheer or a dance, and I'll miss Ali's friendly reminders that I shouldn't dance:) haha. I will miss how the toy room is ALWAYS messy no matter what. I'll miss helping Maddie make her bed, and how there is that random hole in her wall that opens up when you slam the door. I love how your American girl dolls are all mixed up and all t0heir hair is ratty. I love that Maddie and I always go back-to-school-shopping together. I love that Maddie loves school supplies as much as I. I love that there is always people at your house. I miss those days when I would join your family in Scripture Study every morning. I'll miss laughing at Spencer, because he is hilarious. I'm sure he'll miss me too because I am the only one that appreciates his funniness at times. I will miss watching Maddie and Ali struggle to swallow pills in the morning. I will never forget the fact that I broke my arm and got a bee sting at your house. 2 firsts! I'll miss those days of DDR and Karaoke Revolution.

Remember when I lost my retainer and we had to search for literally 4 or 5 hours?:) Remember when Ali threw Finding Nemo toys at me and Erin made her bring me a sorry note, and chocolate covered strawberries? Remember when I came up to your house every morning of elementary school? Maddie, remember our espionage project? Remember the flour game, and our many sleepovers? Remember you're birthday party at the Salon, and how I got the only male stylist there? Remember when we took art classes together, and you were always WAY better than me? Remember when you used to get mad at me because I would stay upstairs and talk to your mom while we were supposed to be playing? Remember the many hours we spend playing Candystand Golf, and Kiki's Polar Ice Caps. Remeber when we would have "Crafty Nights"? Remember those days of Costa Vida, and how you would always let me go with you there?:) I love all of your quirky cousins, and family memebers. Thank you for letting me be a part of your family. Erin: thanks for being sort-of my second mom. Seriously.

Oh heavens, I could go on for hours. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I love you and I will miss you like nobody's business. Hey! Lets look on the bright side though... you aren't leaving for a few months! Yeah!

Love,

Jane P. Busk
