This girl . . . She makes my heart and life so happy! When we're out & about many people ask if we're sisters, and it's a hard one to answer because, "technically", we're not - but we so are at the same time. I've been blessed by her friendship since middle school (yep, she stuck around that long haha) and we've made so many great memories together since then - the kind that can't really make up one post on their own but they're still great. Like the time we went camping and had a whole tent to ourselves and stuck batteries up our noses. And the time we stood on the streetcorner dressed like clowns with a sign that read "Honk to be undignified for Jesus". Or the many dance parties that made up our middle school years. And the nicknames we gave each other of Cheesebubble and Granny Nun the Anti-Nazi. Or that one time with all of the fruit flies and Windex. And staying up late sneaking around the house and falling asleep to movies in the living room. And when we dressed up like Batman and Robin to play Fugitive. And went to that all-nighter scrapbooking party and managed to get whipped cream all over our faces. Or when we stayed up until midnight ratting our hair after having a super deep conversation. Cause that's just how you we end those sorts of nights. Or staying out until 1:00am after dancing to have another deep heart-to-heart while playing in giant leaf piles that we created. Also, the numerous occasions where we dressed up like guys . . . for no apparent reason at all. Actually, just all the times we dressed up. Period. Oh my gosh, and all of the videos we made. Like all the ones with the Waka-waka Wild Dog! And the Emilienoes. And when we tried to fly. And when we rubbed toothpaste all over our faces. And the one where she shoved my face into a bowl of Ramen. And lets not forget the vomiting incident: http://lifewithlew.weebly.com/1/post/2013/06/tbt-vomiting-laughter.html And the uncountable heart-to-heart conversations we've had over the years. Also, that one day fairly recently that we spent shopping and seeing how many different pairs of pants we could both fit in. Good times ^.^ I still remember meeting this girl. I could tell you exactly where I first saw/met her and what she was wearing, along with her body language and expression on her face. I can't say that about very many people . . . She's my spiritual warfare buddy, my heart-to-heart buddy, and my "me too!" buddy. And today, I helped her pack up her car to move to transfer to another school in another city. Though she won't be outrageously far away, and visits will happen, I'm gonna miss this girl. She really is a sister to me :) To the girl in the brown & pink Vans skate shoes, light-wash jeans, and light blue & brown & white puffy jacket: I love you dearly. Go kick nursing school in the pants, Cheesebubble!
