Friday's with Matty

I thought I would do a quick Friday's with Matty while I sit here next to Steven and his test review.
There was this one night that Matt had had friends over.
I think our parents were out of town.
I was still up and it was like 2 in the morning.
I went down because he was in the kitchen. 
He said he was starving so we made Mini Eggo Waffles.
--Side note Jeff (Matts best friend) and Matt would CONSTANTLY make fun of me because I would always cut off the "crust" of my Eggos. It was very important to me that I would cut the round edges off before I ate them. Without fail Jeff would ALWAYS eat my crust. haha Maybe they secretly liked it because they got a bite out of my waffle. 
Anyway, back to the story. Well we started talking about anything and everything...it was so fun. Catching up on life and random stories. Well his Eggo Waffle popped up and he literally put half a stick of butter on the waffle. HALF A STICK PEOPLE. and snarffed it down. He made strange snorting noises, and even weirder faces. It was seriously the most hilarious thing.
No one would understand this unless you would know how animated Matt could be.

We were both rolling on the floor.

Missing these days.

I wish Matt could have met Steven. I just know they would have loved each other.

Hopefully I can be better at posting things Steven and I do from now on!! Gotta get back in the game.
HOLLER PEOPLE.
Dont forget to give someone you love a hug today. Tell them you love them.

LOVE YOU ALL.

Happy Friday's with Matty!!


I know guys!!!! How cute!!!!!

Matty was a little 3 year old...my heart...he looked just the same at 24 lol.

I was just looking through my phone today and decided to take some screen shots of some old texts Matty and I texted each other. It's fine..I am a texting hoarder. I just cant delete texts.

ANSWER ME YOU PURPLE THIEF!!

hahaha Matt always claimed that I stole purple from him. We always fought about it. Finally at his funeral I admitted that he did in fact love purple before me. Matty Wins!!


Ok so the first one is freaking hilarious...Matt loved reciting all of his medical terms he would learn. The way he said it would make me and Debbie laugh every time. "I do beleive that resembles Streptococcus Pyogenes Kephren!" Just out in the middle of no where in a conversation!!
Who in the heck figures out how the miles drivin in their car relate to how many times they have traveled around the world. MATT does. Oh what a funny kid.


Every single one of these texts are just hilarious. The fact that Matt made me watch Slumdog Millionaire, made me and him want to go to India..and then I made it a reality. 
I know he was there with me in heart.

There he goes again with Purple being his favorite color. hahaha

He and I are the KING AND QUEEN of getting tickets. We like to drive fast. Deal with it people!!
I love that he was like...just got a ticket..oh and have fun at prom! haha
Couldn't God allow me and Matt a texting convo every now and then? It would seriously be hilarious:
Keph: Matt hows it going?
Matt: Good, just had lunch with Michael Jackson..you would freaking love him!
Keph: Ask him if annie is okay!!!!!
Matt: He said its just a song...but she ended up being okay! 

haha ok it wouldnt be like that...but it would be SOOO nice...



This is one of our Rent convo's. Classic song right there folks!!


HAHA This is a text Matt sent Emily...but thought it was too great to not share. So he sent it to Me and I died laughing. We always loved sending texts to each other with Emojis!
It is fun to read these texts because it makes it feel like yesterday that I was talking with him. I hope you enjoyed reading them..there were a lot. :)


Here he is with Sam Lee's snake Kaa!!!! Looks like there is a rat in there too....on his shoulder....
Sam got rid of his snake...but I held him too! Its crazy how it just starts wrapping around your arm.
FREAKY!!! I love it though!!


I hope everyone has a great weekend, and lives life to its fullest.
Tell someone you love them.
Give someone a hug.
I sure wish I could be giving Matt a hug right now.

Fridays with Matty!!

It has been SO long. 
Sorry....
Does everyone know about IFTT? Its seriously life changing.
Maybe I am just super late to join the band wagon as usual. haha
Matt would have freaking loved it..
You can seriously get sucked in and look at "recipes" all through church. :) hehe
that is how I get all my instagrams to post on this here blog.
A LOT has changed since I last posted.
I moved out
I go to BYU
I KNOW STOP.
Literally I cant get over it either.
I was a HATER of all things provo and byu
Bottom line is...I needed a change. I feel like most people don't like change. I thrive off of change.
Of course there are some changes that suck. But sometimes you have to embrace the suck.
I am SO grateful for the time I spent at the U.
In fact so many amazing memories happened there, that after Matty passed it was hard for me to stay.
PAUSE:
haha I look so happy!!!
Matt looks like he is holding on for dear life!
Not sure if Jason's shorts are up high enough....
Gosh I have so many memories with Matt at the U. 
It was my first day of class and I was literally FREAKING out. I remember going to Jr. High and being so scared..and that was exactly how I felt the first day of college. But Matt was there.
I was confused, lost, and sweating. (my life) and Matt called me and told me to meet him at the Union Building. It was just SO great to see him. He calmed me down, helped me find some classes, got me a parking pass, ate lunch with me. It was perfect. I was so happy to have Matt there. :)

Another top favorite memory is one day Matt was having a HORRIBLE day. He texted me about it, and I ditched class and drove to draper where he was living at the time. I picked us up some Arbys curly fries, and chicken sandwiches  Oh how we love curly fries and chicken sandwiches. Matt had horrible heart burn when he ate them hahaha but he didn't care. They are just so delicious!! We talked for a long time about everything that was going on, and watched Star Trek. It was so fun. I know it was a bad day for Matt...I was so scared to ditch my first class in college, but it was the best thing I could have ever done.


I have taken better photos..its fine lol. This was at Thanksgiving!! 
Matt freaking cooked the best butternut squash EVER. The best was watching him mash it. haha

Goodness I miss this kid. So much has happened since he has passed away, and it SUCKS that I don't get to share it with him. I miss his hilarious advice, and quirky remarks.

Any who! back to the U. I tried to stick it out, but eventually I couldn't take it any longer..and one day I stopped going to class.
(My parents weren't the happiest of campers...sorry)
But the events that happened during that semester I would have been in school, were exactly what I needed.
After all my fun, I knew I needed to go back to school.
It wasnt going to be the U....
It wasnt going to be Utah State...Logan blows people.
I went to BYU's campus and just felt happier.
I HATED THAT I FELT HAPPIER hahaha
BYU!? ZOOBIES??! PRAYING IN CLASS?!?!?? MARRIED AT 12 18 :) ?!?!
Not my style.
I'm not one to get churchy...but it just felt right.
I then started looking for apartments, and everywhere I thought about going, someone had something bad to say about it. Micah had told me about this place called The Avenues (not in slc) I talked with people and no one had anything bad to say! Debbie and I decided to just go knock on a few doors and we met some darling girls. The rooms were single rooms...I aint sharing with some scary girl I do not know! I called someone the next day I signed a contract. My roommates have turned out to be INCREDIBLE.
There is just the 3 of us and we get along SO well.
It has seriously been amazing to look back and see how everything fell into place.
Rachel is from Illinois, Stephanie is from Idaho.
We all have very different personalities..but it just works!
My classes are freaking hard, but SO much fun!
Provo BLOWS. Lets be completely honest..there is NOTHING to do there.
SLC will hands down win any competition there.
But it really has been a blast.
BOOM CAUGHT UP ON LIFE.
