Day 9: Friends

My BFF! Daphne and I have been Best Friends since middle school, or Be Fri's, as we like to call each other (ya know- the first half of the best friend heart necklace). We're totally different in personality, ran around in different circles in high school. Went to different colleges and haven't lived in the same state since I graduated from A&M. We were each other's Maid of Honor in our weddings! No matter where we are and how long it's been since we've seen each other last, we always pick up where we left off. We tell each other everything and laugh out loud together. I love my Daphne!

Here's another pic of us, we recently went to Holland together!


This is Liana, we are friends from when I lived in Portland, Oregon. She lived below Joe's apartment and that's how we met, in passing one day and went to the movies with a group of friends. She was my closest friend in Portland. There was a period of time where we would literally hang out every weekend together. She's my "girl's night girl"! She lives in Cali now, and I'm hoping to see her sometime soon.

This is Jen. Jen is my friend. :o) We were college roommates at A&M. We lived in a fourplex and funny enough, my brother was our neighbor. She's my pen pal. We like snail mail. We've kept in touch through the years. She even came to visit me in Portland. I'm excited to be moving back to Texas so we can meet up more often than we have in the past. Especially now that she has a cute baby to see.

Work Friends

Everyone needs friends at work. Sometimes that's the only thing that can keep you going to work. ha! This pic is of my friend Luz. We worked at FergusonWellman together in Portland.
This pic is of my friends from my days at Southside Animal Hospital. Tracey, Gwen, and Carlena! Tracey is the sweetest and easy going person you'll ever meet. Gwen and Carlena were so hard to figure out in the beginning. ha! Gwen was probably my first friend in Nashville, we both lived in the same apartment community and got to know each other better by hanging out after work, then she fell in love with a military man and left me for El Paso. Over time I got to know Carlena really well and her eccentric personality. ha! I love spending time with her and will miss her dearly and our t.v. time together, watching '16 and Pregnant'.
I don't have a picture of the following friends. Katie and Sue. My mommy friends, we would have play dates together with our baby boys. I met Katie at a Bradley Birth class and hung out several times after her baby was born and then a month later, mine. I love hanging out with Katie, she makes me laugh. She moved away from me for NY. grrrr- but at least Joe and I will have someone to visit when we make our way up there. I met Sue through my husband and her husband. They went to Belmont together. We had dinner a few times and then life got busy. I found her on facebook and discovered she had had a baby boy about 5 months before me and we reconnected. It was about the time Katie moved and I was thankful to have another women in my life with a baby to hang out with. Sue also makes me laugh and I enjoy my time when we hang out with our little boys in tow. But the most important thing about Sue is.... she can cook. I love food and I love her food. My food is like scrap and her's is like gourmet. I shall miss her cooking. Of course, she'll be moving soon, but I'm sure we'll connect sometime down the road.
