Hey there!
"Stomp, stomp - I've arrived!" It seems like I am always starting off my blogs by saying, "It has been waaaay too long". As always, it has been way to long. I have so much stuff to catch you up on...oh my gosh - it's about to get intense, so hold on tight and don't you dare even think about letting go!
I just recently received an email stating that our house will officially be gone in June. Well, one night I just couldn't sleep and all the memories I made in that house started floating around in my head. If you don't mind, I'd like to share a few. That house has been everything to me for the past twelve years. I know you're probably thinking, "how on Earth can a house be everything?" Well, It's where my mom and I would swim every summer and compete on who could get the best suntan. These competitions were intense - I basically chose to get a job as a lifeguard because of these competitions. I was in the sun all day long and she still was tanner than me. This house is where my father and I would dance in the sun-room together while listening to either Leaves on a Siene by David Lanz or the Pussycat Dolls CD. On Saturdays, he was really good about waking us up by going out there and blasting "Don't Cha wish your girlfriend was hott like me?" Who on earth could continue sleeping with all that going on? You can only imagine the looks we got in public since I decided to make that his ringtone and he never knew how to change it - he loved it. This house is where I accidentally threw a rock at Justin's head and accidentally made it start bleeding...accidentally. We were outside playing basketball and he was being a "meanie pants" (my words exactly) and wouldn't play fairly. It was meant to go past his head and just "scare" him a little. Well, I didn't realize how good I was until...BOOM - blood everywhere. This house is where Tyler and I created Redneck Skiing (which is where someone is pulling another person around on a foldable table by using a four-wheeler). Things were all good until Tyler got his truck involved - emphasis on the V8. Finally, this house is where Alysson and I did everything in our power to get a cat out of a roll of wire because we were worried about him living an unhappy life in there. Well, before we knew it, Demon (the cats new name after we finally set him free) completely clawed Alyssons arm and bit off the remainder of skin left on her hand. We didn't see him around much after that day. The main thing is that I have so many memories attached to this house, and I barely even touched the surface. I was there when it was only a huge mound of dirt and a plot of cement. Now, it's a house full of small memories, oh, and a snake-infested pond. I hope the next people who get this house enjoy it half as much as we did...Oh, and sorry about the tiny marks I made on the walls in my bedroom. In the third grade, I believed my brother when he said I wasn't going to get any taller than 5'0...guess what..5'7 and a half. :)
This is Redneck Skiing - not what you were expecting, huh?
I had my first Biology test on Thursday, February 2. Well, I get in the enormous classroom and found a seat on the opposite from where my roommates were sitting (no, I wasn't dissing them - there wasn't any room next to them). Well, I started to reach in my bag for my notes when I saw my phone light up with the words "Tyler Moody". The first thing I thought was, "GREAT! I am about to take my very first Biology test and he is about to ask me to do something for him later...ugh!" So I opened the message armed with a rude reply, then I realized...he wasn't asking me to do anything, at all. The message read, "Good luck on ur test today!!! I'm 100 percent sure biology is about to be made your b****." The sad part is that when I finished that message, I basically started crying. I literally jumped out of my chair and ran over (yes, I ran in front of a class of almost 300 students) to where my roommates were sitting. I shoved my phone in each of their faces and demanded them to read the same message. Maggie glanced at me after reading it and said, "don't cry...". I would say that the reason why I got all emotional was because I was lacking in the sleep area...but I think that would be a lie. I started thinking about how long it had been since I actually told Tyler when my Biology test was...which meant he actually had to remember! Has never ever ever sent me a text message (at 9 a.m. I might add) and wished me luck on anything. I was taken aback. After causing a scene, I galloped back to my chair and prepared for the near death experience I was about to encounter (aka...the test). The best part was, when I became overwhelmed during the exam, I just thought back to that text message and a smile would randomly appear across my face.
While we are talking about Tyler...Monday, February 6th, was his 22nd birthday. Well, this past weekend he went to New Orleans with his "brothers" for the Delta Sig formal. While he was away, I completely cleaned up his room (with the help of my dear roommate, Megan). Let me just say one thing - this was not an easy task. It literally took from Friday to Sunday to finish. I washed, ironed, and replaced broken buttons on all of his clothes...keep in mind that he has two huge closets. The people in the laundry room at Rose looked at me like I was two scoops of crazy with a side of coo-coo cachoo -yeah, I six loads. On Sunday, Maggie and Megan helped me decorate his room with balloons and streamers...oh, and glitter, of course! Anyways, when he came back on Sunday, he had to stop by my dorm room to get the key for his apartment. He had a terrible look on his face because his time in New Orleans just wasn't up to par...literally, he looked broken to pieces. But, I knew that was all about to change. I was so excited for him to see his room - I was like a kid in the candy shop about to pee her pants! After he left, I held my breath for a solid five minutes until finally, my phone rang. Tyler was so giddy and then he said, "Thank you so much for everything in my room - It literally made my weekend so much better. Like forreal, thanks Haley." Then comes the waterworks - not from Tyler, me. Ahh, he breaks my little heart...:)
Happy Birthday, Tyler! There's nothing like embarrassing family. :)
BREAKING NEWS! So, this weekend I have a smoking hot date! Surprising, right? Ohhh myyy gooosh, well, his name is Ethan, and he is absolutely ah-mazing. We have planned to watch a movie together on Saturday - oh yes, snuggle buddies! ;) (I thought about us going to the theater to watch a chick-flick...but that would be a wee-bit awkward.) What makes him so wonderful is, well...everything! He listens to every single thing I say...seriously! I never have to repeat myself! I don't know about all of y'all, but I haven't met many men who actually listen. Also, he has wonderful shoulders for me to lean on when I cry...and when I do cry, he is always always always comforting me and letting me know that everything is going to be fine...especially with him in my life. Gosh - I couldn't ask for more. OH YEAH- Best part ever - he doesn't bother me when I sleep...he knows how precious sleeping is to me, and how mean I am without it! So when I fall asleep next to him, he just pulls me closer and lets me fall asleep on his chest, which is twice as wonderful as his arms. I am such a lucky girl; I just hope it lasts forever! Ahhh...love. :)

So, Monday night I had a movie moment I really want to share with everyone. First things first, have you guys seen the movie Something Borrowed? Well, do you know the part where she is standing outside a bar in the pouring rain confessing to Dex that she loves him and doesn't care who knows it? Yeah...that didn't happen to me...so, don't get all excited over there. I had just left my brothers birthday dinner, and I was standing outside the restaurant, El Ricon, getting ready to walk to my car. I was checking my phone and I knew better than to do that while walking across the street. Can you say splat? Anyways, there was a bar next door and the song Name by the Goo Goo Dolls was the soundtrack for this particular moment. As I looked away from my phone, I turned around to find a particular guy telling me goodbye in the distance. I paused for a moment, because like the movies...I became speechless. The worst part is...it wasn't a good kind of speechless. As I looked in his eyes, I saw something that literally broke my heart into pieces...I saw the look of someone who couldn't have cared less about me...from someone who I actually cared about. Without looking, I just started walking across the street...oh yeah, I made across without a single scratch. I now know exactly what Rachel felt like, because like me, Dex left her there to drown. "It's lonely where you are, come back down..." was the last lyrics I heard before completely shutting my car door. I pushed the button for Maxi to come alive, and suddenly Jessie J found her way through my speakers and veins and into my heart. "Don't lose it all...in the blur of the stars" took the empty feeling out of my stomach (Who You Are by Jessie J). After shedding the last tear, I began driving down the road without a single look in the rear-view mirror.
I have a lot more to tell you guys, but I have to go celebrate my brothers birthday AGAIN with my aunt and uncle. I swear - Tyler's birthday is like a week-long event. - Tyler, if you are reading this...just know that your birthday is exhausting! I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday night...be looking for another blog before the weekend is over!
I think about you all the time
But I don't need the same
It's lonely where you are
Come back down
And I won't tell 'em your name
Name by the Goo Goo Dolls
Love Always,
Haley
