My BFF
(best friend forever, without the heart shaped necklace that some BFF have)

…drops everything to have lunch with me
…knows the whole story of my happily ever after
…poses for any photo, any time, anywhere for me, even if it’s just a light test
…relates to my need for a pedicure, often
…introduced me to the pedicure
…always believes in me, and my dreams
…continues to support me, in all my crazy endeavors, long after others have not
…could never understand how much she really means to me
…knows who I mean when i say “Izzy, George, & McSteamy”
…has seen the best and worst of our past job together
…loves the season of Fall for that first sweater purchase
…picks me ups, literally and emotionally
…knows what character I dressed as Halloween 2003, and has photos to prove it
…remembers all the details I look over, or forget
…has one of the biggest hearts I know
…continues to press on, challenge after challenge, no matter where life takes her
…worked side by side with me all through our BFA degrees
…owns just as much jewelry as I do,
…understands when I accidently wear her shoes home, all the the way home
…knows what I’d order at applebee’s
…has a husband with the same name as mine, they married first
…has a million funny laugh out loud stories of the many years we’ve been BFF

Since the first day we met in the Sculpture lab at Mankato State U right up until yesterday, she’s always been my best friend, we enjoyed and suffered a lot together and seperately. And today is just another day in our average grown(ing) up lives, where I wanted to tell you about her, and tell her Thank you, Thank you Kendall for everything, esp the things I can’t blog about! 🙂
