My Friend Jake


I have a love for apples. I try and eat at least one a day if not two. It's like carrot sticks

and

bananas but I am going to focus on apples. I like Gala apples the best, but Fuji apples

are good

too. But the very best is when you find just the right looking apple and then you bite

into it and it's all you imagined. Nice and crisp and juicy and not too cold so it doesn't

hurt your teeth. But I was so mad today because right before one of my classes, I

went

and bought an apple and the look was so deceiving. It was nice and round and shiny

but not crisp at all but like soft and not very good . I was so tempted to go back and

ask for another one. Just goes to

show to never go for looks. Not just with people, but apples too! I am very

specific about my apples. I used to like the green ones growing up but not so much

anymore

because they can be pretty sour so I am back to the nice red ones. Oh I just love

apples!

And if I think I am hungry, then I eat an apple, and it takes away my hunger pains.

And the

organic ones at Costco are not all that bad, but an apple is an apple, right? Wrong!

There are lots of different kinds, colors, textures, but we won't get into that. So now I

will

introduce my friend Jake Nelson:



This is Jake. He is pretty awesome! And he is my library buddy and we are always

there pretty late. But we went on a date like 2 months ago since I guess it has been

in the works for awhile. His family is good friends with Brooke and Tammy

Mortensen

who are good friends of mine. We had such a fun time and Jake is just so

refreshing and nice and just an awesome guy. Well he knows I like apples and he lets

me keep my laptop in his locker on the 5th floor of the library and when I went to

get my laptop to study, guess what he left me. That is right...a nice Fuji apple just for

me. Almost every night in the library I say how much I could use an apple. So

thanks Jake!

I

do love apples!

Aww, now that's just tender. I'm glad you're so particular about your apples. That's probably why you and Stacie are such good friends :)

Yes, Fuji apples are delicious.

And hopefully, good, thoughtful boys will never be out of style.

Since you already know I read your inspiring blog all the time (my son ratted me out)...I thought I would leave a comment this time. Okay, you made me cry...so call me crazy. I know he is my son and all, but I think he is one of the most kind-hearted people I know and I am glad he brightened your day! It's those little things in life that truly count!!

I would have to agree with you about Jake being one of the most kind-hearted people. I just love spending time with him and he can always make me laugh. Thank you for raising such an incredible person!

Aw what a sweet boy! Apples are amazing, but I have to admit I dont eat them very often. That appearently needs to change, since I've been sick the past two days. I'm glad there are still cute and thoughtful boys around. Ha so dont listen to spencer!

Jamie, I am happy you find my blog so entertaining:) And I think Jake mentioned that you and your mom are coming up to visit so I told Jake that I should probably meet the two of you. That would be fun!
