times gone by. times to stay.

 

this post is going to be my first non complaining post. this post goes out to the friends of the thick and thin. the friends of the hour(s).

i guess we will go in the most logical order there is. from morning to night.

my first friend starts very early in the morning. at about 5:00 on monday, wednesday, and friday, and around 4:45 tuesday and thursday. then on saturdays he was there almost every waking and non waking hour. give or take a few. our week days started out the same. working out. monday wednesday and friday were filled with running, push-ups, and some weird tai-quan-do, made up by grant. tuesdays and thursdays consisted of mostly snowy, pitch black drives to american fork just so we could be in the pool, no later than, 5:15. we work our butts off. trying to sweat out all of the chlorine from the previous practices. we attempt to shower in the few minutes we have before school starts. classes go on and then we meet again at the pool. swim laps like there is no tomorrow. like we can even get anywhere, the pool is only 25 yards long. but we still swim about 5 miles.

it was on a evening the first saturday of february 2012 that i realized how much i loved you man. i never knew how much i would miss you and miss the time that we got to spend together.

here's to the miles we swam, the practices we skipped, the hundreds of dollars we spent on lazer racers and speedos. dome caps and vanquishers. heres to the times in your car we counted burnt out head lights. the times we almost got pulled over. heres to the time you drove me home when my goggles almost cut my eye out of it's socket. the times we took speedo pictures. in the winter. in the snow. at the lake. heres to my lost underwear at lone peak. heres to the 11 years you have always been here for me. here is to the sweat, tears, and blood that were shed from our various talks, practices, and time spent together. heres to a hope that it will never end.

here's to tanner frandsen.

the next period of the day would be the afternoon. the time where nobody wants to do anything. and here is to the friend that let me do nothing, yet everything. our time always started when school got out. we would do nothing. but we got to do everything we ever wanted. eating was our habit. didn't matter if we were hungry or not. he is the person that will always be here no matter what.

here's to the friend who will always be my friend. here is to the shopping trips. the clothes bought. and the money wasted. wait who am i kidding?! it wasn't wasted! here is to the homework done. the homework not done. here is to the food. here is to the dates. the dances. and the girls. here is to the good and bad. here is to the happy and sad. here is to the friends we had. and the friends we have. here is to the movies seen. the waters swam in. heres to the inside jokes. the outside jokes. the movie quotes. heres to california and mexico. here is to always being there for eachother.

the next friend is there all the time. but is most important to me at the time when everyone else is asleep. our lives together started not very long ago. however, strange it is that our paths didn't cross earlier. but, who cares? it's like i've known you all along. you are a natural best friend. you are so easy to talk to and too easy to care so much about. our talks happen late at night. usually don't start until about one and don't end till who knows when. i love our talks. they are exactly what i need. keep em coming.

here is to the hope that the quote i used didn't upset you. here is to the time that we didn't know each other. and here is to the greatest times when we did know eachother. here is to the late night. the early morning. here is to the rock hard brownkies and warm gooey brownies. heres to the up lifting words. and the honest words. here is to the times that have past. and here is to the times that are yet to come.
