Fridays with Matty

Happy Friday!!

This last Saturday one of Matt's best friends got married!

Congrats Aaron and wife..cant remember her name right now haha

It was so fun because I got to see all of his old friends. :)

The friend I was most looking forward to seeing was Mr. Sam Lee.

We stood in line, and congratulated Aaron, and asked if Sam was going to be there...he said he couldnt ever get ahold of him. (Sam was doing the whole no facebook thing like me cuz we are awesome like that) He said he texted him but he never heard back.

So we sat and ate cold stone..Thank You...... Emily left the table to get some water....

AND CAME BACK WITH SAM LEE!!!!!!!!

#BestMomentEver

I will never forget meeting Sam Lee.

My parents and I had gone up to Logan for the day to visit Matt. We went to his apartment, and everything in his room was SO clean. I swear Matt was not a clean person before his mission. 

{Maybe I should go on a mission? Get good cleaning skills? (bad reason to go I think..)}

Everything in his room was chrome, black, and white. Black window drapes..no Bernhisel likes a sunny morning when we could be sleeping. Chrome light next to his bed. Chrome bathroom stuff. 

It was cute. Plus his black and white fuzzy minkey blanket!! I was SO jealous of his computer. He got all the cool gagets, and knew how to do all these cool things. Of course he had awesome speakers to jam out to Music!! (our favorite) He showed me this awesome song:

I remember hearing it and looking at Debbie with a face like "what in the world is that girl saying.."

Of course I became obsessed with it, and Matt and I could proudly sing every word. 

Matt could sing it better. No Joke.

Great song people.

Anyway, I dont think any of Matt's roommates were home. 

(depressing. obviously..I was wanting to see some hot college boys!!!)

Somehow we made our way over to the library. Matt thought it was so cool because they have this machine of some sort that can go and grab old books. 

As we were leaving the library we ran into his roommate.

SAM LEE.

hahaha oh man. I thought he was cute. His hair was curly, and he we just so nice.

I fell in love with that boy. hahaha 

Fast forward a few years, one of my friends may or may not have dated him. 

(which I know Matt would have been proud of..cuz Matt always loved her too haha)

Ever since Matt died, Sam Lee (I can only call him by his full name.) has been the one to stay in contact the most, and ask how we are all doing. I know he has been to his grave on several occasions..its always nice to know people visit Matt's grave. 

He really is a great guy. I am so grateful for him!

{he also has great taste in music}

Meet Sam Lee:

Pure Happiness

Random fact about Matty: Tiger's blood was his favorite flavor at Rainbow Snow!

*No Day But Today*

Fridays with Matty

I have decided to start something.

We will see how long I keep this up.

Because I am so great at blogging...

I am calling it Fridays with Matty.

*no relation to Tuesday's with Morrie*

At least I dont think...I have never read it. But I feel like I have heard people say its super boring/depressing.

All the reviews that I browsed just a second ago seemed pretty excited about it though.

But it was an old man talking to a young man about the old man's life.

I'm not an old man or a young man.haha

Anyway, Fridays with Matty!!

This will not be boring or depressing--at least it wont be for me.

and really, that's all that matters!

Death is such a weird thing.

We know we are all going to die eventually, but sometimes people are taken from us too early.

Ever since my big brother died its been a constant battle of trying to stay away from the memories, and keep all the memories. You don't want to think about the memories, because sometimes they make you sad. But at the same time, you want to keep the memories because they are all you have left....

(thank you pinterest..seriously what did we do before pinterest!?)

The last 2 1/2 years I have done a pretty good job at avoiding memories.

But when you avoid, you forget.

(end of slightly depressing part)

So I am going to stop avoiding, and start writing some of my favorite memories of Matt and me, or just Matty, and maybe even get some people to share their favorite memories. That way when I'm old and senile, I can come back here and remember.

Maybe by the time I'm old computers wont exist anymore... scary.

Before I get into the first memory, one must realize I suck at writing..so ya.

Matt and I loved the musical Rent.

We know ALL the songs backwards and forwards. 

Sometimes he would call me, and he wouldn't say hello..

He would just start singing.

{Mind you...we did it in their voices..}

"its true you sold your guitar and bought...a car....." --Matt

"Its true..im leaving now for santa fe, its true your with this YUPPIE SCUM" --Keph

"You said you'd never speak to him again!"--Matt

"not now.. who said that you have any say in who she says things to at all!"--Keph

"Yeah! who said that you should stick your nose in other peoples.."--Matt

Haha you get the idea..

The best part was near the end when mark and roger are fighting we had it DOWN. A little rasp in our voice I tell ya Matt and I could have been on Broadway people.

the best part was when Matty would hit the high note at the very end of the song. "Mimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" 

Seriously kills me every time.

Heres a clip of the song:

#angels

Matt had a ROCKIN voice. For all you madrigals out there...McGuire approached him to sing with them. He turned it down. But dang my bro could sing. 

Love you Matty

I hope you are all having a great day!

*no day but today*
