Smelly Breeze
When I think of the Vern (a.k.a Mt.Vernon: my hometown for all you outsiders), two thoughts pop into my head. First, the corn because it engulfs us and we are quasi famous for it. And then Bryaannananannnaa. Bryana is only the greatest friend to ever live in the history of the world. I do not have a single adolescent memory without Bryana Green. She has been there for every significant moment a teenie-bopper could have. (In 7 years of bestfriendship you have many of those.) So you can only imagine my dismay when I found out we’d miss seeing each other at Christmastime only by a few days. Devastating. So we planned to visit one another sometime between now and the end of our frosh year. However, the dates weren’t working out and things were looking grim. I summed it up one night on the phone, “It sucks how things worked out.” (Followed by an obnoxious mirth at my accidental irony.) Tonight while on the phone with Bry, I realized a calendar miscalculation. It turns out I will be leaving for home 2 days earlier than expected. With this insight both Switzer and T Hall’s were earth-quaking as we made like moshpitters jumping up and down in our excitement. After we settled down, we threw the specifics on the table and found Bryana was expected to leave for her Texan Holiday an hour after I arrive home for my Indianan celebration. Both former cheerleaders and advocates for optimism, we decided one hour was better than nothing! We said our cheery goodbyes, hanging up the phone I thought about the gloomy one hour deal we received. Then I recalled all of my Smelly Breeze one hour memories: 1) We peed our pants when we got in a sledding accident. 2) We stole cardboard boxes from the car dealer and bungee corded them to the roof of the Mazda. 3) We left candy bars on our ex-boyfriends cars wishing them a Happy New Year…without us. 4) One Halloween we dressed up like cave-women and helped this old guy grill burgers in front of the supermarket. 5) We karaoked to Faith Hill. 6) We went to BW3’s. 7) We played flashlight tag. 8) We made up dances. 9) We O.D.’ed on Dove Chocolate. And soooooo much more. So we only have an hour…watch out world!Song of the Day: Anything by Brian McKnight, cause he's our yo!posted by Melissa at

I LOVE YOU MELISSA DAWN!!!!! Hehe. I just got online this morning and decided to take a trip through your profile. Now I've found myself caught in your blog and it reminds me of all the things you used to write in high school that were so amazing. Oerhaps you should just quit college, move into my dorm room, and write a journal on life. We wouldn't want that now though would we! As much as college has seperated us in distance I feel that we have become closer. Haha.. what doesn't kill us makes us stronger!!!! I never could imagine these days living so far away from each other. Who knew that the world could go on with out our crazy fun? It can go on, but it is missing something amazing. You're right, T-Hall and the Schwitz did shake that night as we jumped up and down on the phone about to burst with excitement. Mount Vernon, however, is about to be introduced to its first earthquake in quite some time ( and we'll be there for this one!). What I'm trying to say is that I've enjoyed the past few months because I get to hear all about BYU and how much you've grown. I love the stories and I love knowing that you are doing great. I think you were just born to be terrific. Hehe. Thank you for adding so much to my life. I am so lucky!!!!! You're the bestest friend in the whole wide world kid and I'm counting down the minutes until our hour! Missing you bunches- Bry
