another bestie up and leaves.

1. she makes a handicap look cool.
2. taught me that a spoon is the most effective eating utensil when it comes to murdering someone.
3. together we survived something we never thought we would {being trapped in her loft, 20 feet above civilization, when her big sister got mad and took the ladder away...i'm not kidding...we really thought that was the end.}
4. taught me that in order to get the freshest batch of fries, one must ask for "salt free" fries.  {i don't know if that is true but she taught it to me nonetheless.}
5. taught me to flash my brights at a red light at night and it will magically change, almost instantly.  

good luck down under dani.

i LOVE you.

it's time for vista lions to stand up and shout.

my favorite thing about my elementary {vista elementary-class of '01} is that we have a theme song.  you know you loved it to.  and i dare any vista alum to not sing it right now.  and tell the world around us what learning's about...
vista, home of the lions, is a good place.  good for learning, and playing, and making friends, and singing the alphabet and theme song, and taking pictures on the big kid playground.

{me sliding down the slide on the very playground where i first met my best friend.  dani.  she was playing power rangers or telletubies or something equally as stupid.  then i made fun of her.  then she followed me around.  and the rest is history.}

{mine and dani's feet in the rocks in the big kid playground.  you'd better believe it was a daily occurance that one of our classmates would shove one of these pebbles into their nose.  every single day.}

{me and dani singing the theme song for our alma mater and birthplace of friendship.}

{dani in the tube slide that christian deluca peed down once.  he's a legend.}

{me, pouting, for losing invisable kickball.  i was the master in 5th grade.}

{dani looking down the hallway and at the bathroom that had stall doors that were uncomfortably short, even for children.}

vista!

this girl.

my camera proved to be catching the 

late night crazies.

from marie's camera.

anyways.

dani plays lacross.

and i think that is wicked awesome.

don't you?

just one more reason to love her some more.

the springs.

how to be a wightman:
-love traditions.
-refuse to do anything except traditions.
-be classy.
-laugh a lot.  eat more.

it's simple really.

wightman family tradition #47:  lava hot springs.
true.  wightman's are classy.
true.  lava hot springs is not.
true.  together we make magic happen.

lava 2010 one of the classiest yet.
see?

 {colorful wall of awesomeness.}

{the captains of cool.}

 

{clearly we were having SO much fun!}

{story of her and libby's life at lava hot springs.}

{to elder thaddeus.  notice how the snow is up to my knees.}

 

{swimming? check. dinner? check. coloring? double check.}

{hot hot hot springs.}

{breakfast.  everyone yelled when i ordered when they got the buffet.  sorry fam.}

 

{coolness.  all summed up in one picture.}

stay classy, wightman family.

this one girl.

remember the teletubbies?
you can bet your boots that my friend, danielle marie southworth, does.
because my first memory of ever seeing that girl she was pretending to be one.
oh keep in mind-i met this kid in the first grade.

even though i am about 74% sure that i made fun of her when she did that,
i am crazy in love with this girl.  still.  to this day.

after:
3 schools.
5 breakups {all of which were hers, what a player.}
16 birthday parties.
1 broken leg.
2 sisters.
50 hate letters daily {as a joke of course.}
459 visits to del taco.
200 phrase du jours.
3 dance teams.
oh and
1 colton {he's a handful for us.}

and she is still my love, my best friend, and will quite possibly be my only friend this summer when the elders depart.  and to make her sound even more awesome...she sent me a letter in the mail.  she knows me too well.

she is everything that i am not

{she might be the only person that likes cats. and hers is satan.}

{she wore this to the masquerade.  funny.}

{best friends.}
