FAR too long!!

January of 2004 was the month I met one of my greatest friends. I still remember it like it was yesterday... my first day of beauty school at Staceys Hands of Champions beauty college. There were only a few of us who started on the same day... we were all a bit nervous and didn't really know anybody. I sat next to this girl from Layton, Jannae. When it came time for lunch we decided to head across the parking lot to the Newgate Mall for some Chick-fil-A together. We made small talk and had plenty of those "awkward" silences, ha ha! At that time I had no idea what great friends we would become!! Pretty much from the first day on we were inseperable. We've had sooo many fun and crazy adventures the past 7 years, both while in beauty school and out. I love her and her family like they are my own! She married just a couple weeks before Cody and I and moved to Cali a few years ago where her family business is. She's had two little boys, Linken and Cooper since she's been gone and they are the CUTEST! I wish we got to spend more time together but almost everytime she's in town we try to meet up for lunch or dinner. Today I was so happy to be able to have lunch with her at the Olive Garden (yum) before her cute family heads back to Cali on Sunday. One of these days I WILL make it out there to visit her! I'm so thankful for our friendship and for the fact that it doesn't matter how long we go without talking or seeing each other, we always pick right back up where we left off.

She brought little Cooper with her today and it was the first time I got to see him in person :( but he sure is a cute, happy baby! Thanks for lunch, I love you fluzy!!!

(Fluzy is both our nicknames that we use for each other.. it started somewhere back in beauty school and who knows where we came up with it?? Funny thing is.. at the time neither one of us knew what it meant! Now that we do though we still use it :) Oh... those were the days!)

Don't mind my scrubs, ha ha. They sure make a girl feel SO fashionable :)
