Fun· My Life

29 Oct

I heard it was #NationalBestFriendDay and I have to give a shout out to my favorite friend in the world.

my favorite person

The day Cindy and I met in first grade she went home and told her mom, “Mom! I met a girl with red these and red these!” (As she pointed to her eyebrows and eyelashes.)

me and cindy

Apparently I was the first redhead she ever saw. And she decided to keep me, (even though I’m rough). my lil best friend

This is the original blast in a glass. And I love vodka her.

    I met Brandi in the sixth grade, and we’ve been best friends ever since. We were roommates in college, she moved with me to Hawaii when I got transferred for work, she was my maid of honor in my wedding, and she was with me through the messiness of a divorce too. We’ve cried together, we’ve laughed together, and now we run together because we only live 3 hours apart – the closest since Hawaii! 😀

    I met my BFF 16 years ago at Church…and there is no doubt in my mind that we will grow old together!

    I met my best friend when we were 4 years old….which would be 44 years ago! And we are still best friends. We don’t see each other much anymore but we still stay in touch. We’ve been there through a lot of stuff with each other and we always will be.

    Is it beyond cheesy to say my husband is my best friend? Met him a little less than 5 years ago, on a ski trip with my grandfather. Talk about a set up!

    I’m super lame. My best friend is my hubby, whom I met in high school. We have a cute story about how we met at a band concert when my mouthpiece fell out of my baritone backstage. << nerd

    On the 3rd day of University. We end up sharing a taxi together, she made me laugh right off and I’ve never wanted rid of her since! She’s so full of fun and strength, we’ve been through a hell of a lot together and I miss her like mad now that she lives far away.

    I met my best friend in 2nd grade. Even though I moved across the country we’re still close as ever. We write each other creepy love notes The Notebook style because we’re cool like that.
    Your Vegas pics always crack me up. I say a Meet Eat (Drink) Repeat in Vegas is needed.

    I feel like I have different best friends. There’s my husband (cheese factor), who I met in college. My childhood best friend, who I met in kinder and still hang out with today. My work best friend. My made-as-an-adult best friend. I have a hard time limiting it!

    I was 4. She lived across the street. She was there for life’s biggest moments and most of the small ones too. Of course we grew up and she moved to Arizona. We still talked and I saw her when she came back to Kansas and went there to see her and her family. Sadly my last trip was in March after she had a stroke. i was with her when she died. I am grateful for the 42 years of joy and love she brought to my life. I miss her every day.
