And here I sit ready to type my little heart out, and I go blank. I can't believe it! I make time for this, and nothing. Strange. I am not a person who has little to say, but this is more an issue of where to start. I always have 10 things circulating around in my mind, but now that I want to put something out, nothing!
Ok, so here we go. I am going to in fact tell a story about the very friend that suggested I start a blog. She was my first best friend in my life. We lived across the street from one another until we were in Jr. High I believe. She was a girl I have a lot of memories of, not all good. We spent all our time together as kids. Or so it seemed. I have funny memories of little random things we used to talk about, compete over, or little sayings we used to share. For example, we used to say "you're dead o meat squat", which really as a line from Karate Kid, when the blond guy is fighting the kid, and says "that don't mean squat". I like dead o meat myself. We used to both have matching Strawberry shortcake dolls, and for some reason hers always smelled more like strawberries then mine did! There are times when she would have me sit in her yard and watch her little sister so she could run down the street and play with the boys. Or how when we started 7th grade she acted so proud of me for wearing mascara!
However one of the best, classic moments of our friendship came the summer after 6th grade. I love this story. It could seriously be a scene in a movie. Amazing! This really cute boy lived down the street from us, and I had a major crush on him. Well this boy happened to share a birthday with my friend, and so they always acted as if they were brother and sister. So this little friend of mine had her own room in the basement of her parents house. One day she got this brilliant plan to have this boy come over to her house, and sit in her bedroom closet while she talked to me about how much I liked him. So think about how you felt as a 6th grader, and how having a crush on anyone of the opposite sex was so tragic. Well this was definitely a classic moment in destroying my hopes of ever having this boy even talk to me. So it was all set up, and she sends me down to her room. She was getting something upstairs. I however happened to be a very nosey kid, and for some reason opened her closet door to snoop around. Well I found the boy, and the whole plan fell apart. And to top it all off, this friend of mine was so pissed at me for snooping through the closet that it actually became the issue. More then the fact that she was about to humiliate me in front of this boy!
Well time has passed, we are now both mothers! Our lives have gone very different directions. And then one day she found me on Facebook of all places. This girl has been through more in her life then I could imagine. We have reconnected and I am very happy to have her back in my life. She has a blog where she has basically journalled her life for the past few years. And believe me the things this woman has experienced and lived through are amazing. I think we can all say we've been through a few things at this age in our lives, but this friend of mine really has. I can't say that I would've been able to handle these trials like she has. I really admire this girl. And on top of that am feeling very blessed to have her back in my life. There is a time and a reason for everything that happens to all of. And I think that all the funny little things we went through together as kids, were just the beginning of the memories we'll have together. I guess it really is fair to say, and very possible that you can meet your best friend at the age of 4. Who knew!?
I will say this, I am very happy to have you back in my life girl! And I am very happy that your have such a beautiful life. Your husband is amazing. Your son is a dream. And I know Ms. Hazel has had a hand in all of it! Much love to you!
