a-drain

this shouldn't surprise you but i have a best friend and her name is adriane fox. yesterday, she turned the big 29. that means, she is old and we have known each other for 11 years. we became fast friends in the halls of morgan hall at utah state university and she made my years in logan a treat. i don't think i would have survived them without her. she is the kind of friend that will love you through thick and thin and you can tell her your deepest darkest secret, that you will tell no one else, and she will love you still and not judge you. that is a good friend. also, she is freaking hilarious. funny things are always bound to happen when she is around. once upon a time, emily, ade and i got a hankerin' to do some white water rafting. well, this was not to be since there was no real white water around us and it was late in the evening. so, we decided instead to blow up a raft (bad idea and bad headache) and take it to the logan canal.it was quite a sight when we strapped that raft onto the top of lloyd (please pronounce both l's) and went up logan canyon to brave the waters of the logan canal. and brave them we did. adriane nearly fell out of the not well inflated raft, due to its bounciness, and her head dragged along in the frigid waters for quite sometime since emily and i were laughing too hard to help her. she was not pleased but to this day, it is one of my favorite mental images. then we used the raft as a sled in the golf course. there have been many an adventure with adriane and i miss them all with my whole heart. i wish i could see her every day and play like we use to with reckless abandon. cruel adult world. alas, i love adriane and according to her blog, she had a fabulous week of birthday festivities. i only wish i could have taken part. i love you ade, happy birthday! ps. come to virginia.
