Meghan and Emily

Meghan and Emily
Being a part of this family we all know that Emily and I had our rough beginnings, but eventually they turned into a valued friendship. When I got home this year Emily and I began reminiscing on a few choice memories of our adventures together, so I decided for this year, to write a few of them down.
One, two, three….fifty-seven. One, two, three….fifty-eight. One, two, three…fifty-seven. After counting the stars on my ceiling for a half hour, I decided that it was time to do something else. It was just a normal school night and I was very bored. I moseyed around the house looking for something to entertain myself with. I saw Emily doing nothing like myself, so with a flare of adventure in my eye, I recommended we go jogging together. Mom and Dad were headed off to a church meeting, so we made sure to wait until they were gone. We started out all well and good, getting a pretty good workout, jogging down creek road. We went through Pulte homes and took a left on Balfour so we could jog home up Fairview. Well, as we rounded the corner onto Fairview, we saw some houses in the making and decided to go explore. We went to a partially finished house and walked around on the wood floors and through the wood walls. We then discovered the construction workers stash of beer bottles and Juaritos. We stacked them up and had a good bowling game with them.
After messing around in the house for some time, we chilled on its roof for a bit and then walked out to the construction sites. There we found some very tall piles of saw dust and climbed on top of them. We had a good ole time surfing and rolling down them. After this lost its savor we went back out to Fairview and continued to jog home. After a bit of that we stumbled upon an overflowing sprinkler. It was in a little valley surrounded by hills of grass. It had flooded so much that there was now a little pool about four feet high. It looked too fun to resist…Em and I stripped off our socks and shoes and took a little swim. It was so fun having nice soft grass under our toes, so we played there for a good while. We stumbled out of our little pool after some time and continued to walk home.
We now had our shoes in hand and thought it would be fun to sing at the top of our lungs and loose our voices. We busted out with Joy to the world and took turns singing, “If I was the king of the world, tell you what I’d do” Then we’d fill it in with whatever we’d do. We then heard some lady yelling at us from her porch. We looked up the hill and she just kept yelling but we just kept singing. We then saw a little guard winding his way down the hill after us. We got a bit scared and took off running. We slipped through a gate of the golf course and continued running. We then thought it best to hide out in a sand trap. As we were laying there another guard in a golf cart was driving right by us and we heard a radio saying that two young girls had disturbed the peace and had then escaped by running onto the golf course, a few more things were said and it turned out that now this guard was searching for us! Once he had passed and was out of site Emily and I thought it would be fun to make sand castles! We molded and crafted some sweet little mounds, Emily’s turned out rather phallic so we had a good laugh about it. We then made our mark by drawing our names in the sand with a huge rake. Now we decided it was time to make a break for it. As we were sneaking around James Bond style the same guard started to roll up and over his loud speaker told us to stop, we weren’t about to do that, so we took off running. As we were running I swiped a CARTS sign and Emily yoinked a huge flag. Both of which still reside in her room. The guard continued to chase us down but we jumped the fence and high tailed it out of there. When we got to our road we slowed down and smiled to ourselves hoping mom and dad weren’t home to see our new treasures. As it turned out they were still at their meeting….sigh, Safe! A few weeks latter Emily, mom, and I were hanging out in Em’s room and mom inquired about the 7 foot flag. Emily and I just smiled at each other and told her it was nothing.
Cows
Over the past years Emily and I have driven around our fair share, and being a nature fan, I always gaze out at the rolling hills around Brentwood. One day I noticed a very cute little baby cow, “Emily, look at the whittle cow!” Emily turned to look, “AHHHHHHH, SICK!” Turns our as soon as she looked she saw a big bull mount the cute momma cow right next to the baby cow. This wasn’t a one time occurrence folks. It happened quite often to Emily! I’d always see a cute little cow and soon as Emily looked, she’s see it being mounted by a not so cute bull! In fact, she saw this happen on our trip to the light house the other day! Lucky girl!
Wind Mill
Yet again, Emily and I were bored and decided to go mosh around on the Four-Wheeler. It was raining and perfect for having a good time. We drove it over to creek road and were going through the orchards and having a jolly old time. Well, we stumbled upon a field that had a huge Wind Mill in the middle of it. It was very dreary looking with the gray stormy clouds and the wind thrashing it back and forth, so of course we decided to climb it! We walked to the base of it and stared up and this 50 foot edifice with wide eyes, as lightning shot across the sky. I looked at Emily and dared her to go first. She said only if came right after, so we began the journey. The way to the top was this teeny tiny latter measuring less than a foot wide. Shaking with fear Emma made it to the top. Once there she freaked out and clung tightly onto the middle of the not so sturdy wind mill. I decided to go up and help her out, only to freak out myself! We were on the top of a huge chunk of rusted metal that was oscillating due to the wind while lightning flashed all around us. We decided it best that we live past our very young ages, and slowly climbed down the latter. We hopped back on the four-wheeler and headed back home.
Sleepovers
Emily has the power like no one else to make me laugh, especially when we should be sleeping! This one time Em, whit, and I were having a sleep over in the library. I had started to doze off, but Em and Whit were still chatting. Whitney randomly said, “I think Simba is a very attractive lion, don’t you?” Emily replied, “I think he looks like a Gerbil!” I found it somewhat funny so being half asleep I merely laughed a bit through my nose, more like a loud exhale, but apparently it was the funniest thing that had ever happened and Emily spazmed into laughter. She was laughing so hard that Whitney and I couldn’t help but join in. We then continued to laugh for hours. We calm down for a bit, but then Emily’s sweet laugh would strike up again and we would all join in. This has happened to Emily and me a number of times, over the simplest things, we get going, and we can’t stop!
Telepathy
I was sleeping in Emily’s room on a Saturday night and was wondering when that little girl was going to get home from her church dance. Well, she moseyed in around 12 and got into bed. I asked her how her night went and she proceeded to tell me how much fun she’d had, especially dancing with a certain boy. We stopped chatting, and as I was half asleep I started randomly singing a song. I thought it very odd due to the fact that I hadn’t heard this particular song since 7^th grade, and I had no clue why I had started singing in the first place! I then noticed a wide eyed Emily staring at me. “What?” I inquired…Emily cautiously said, “Why did you start singing that song?” I replied, “I have no clue, I haven’t heard it forever, weird huh?” She then continued to tell me that she was still wide awake thinking about this boy, and was just then reviewing the song they had danced to, and it was the very song I had randomly started to sing, and furthermore, I had picked up the song at exactly the place she was at! We flipped out and then proceeded to try and read each other’s minds for the next couple hours, and with no success finally dozed off to sleep.
Well, I hoped you enjoyed Emily and my silly little mishaps, there are a million more, but I’m sure you’re attention spans are tiring, and so is mine while typing this, so Merry Christmas and I love you all!
