My Best Friend...

I have 3 best friends. Laura, Ashlie and my pain in the ass Leo, Lindsey. Actually, Lindsey finally dumped that p.o.s and has gotten a lot better...like 10x times better!! I was starting to pull away from her because she would call me up crying, asking what should she do (in regards to her shit eating boyfriend) and then not even take my advice and continue getting hurt...and then call me crying again blah blah blah blah...over and over, the cycle wouldn't stop. But now, all is good. Actually, great for her. She's doing a lot better and seems like she's back to her old self!

But this post isn't about her. It's about my bestest best friend, Laura. I've met Laura when I was 9. We actually known of each other when we were 8. I would see her at recess STARING at me and think WTF is up with that girl? What's her damage? Why is she staring at me? So when I caught her staring I would stick out my tongue or give her the stink eye showing her I didn't appreciate it! So fast forward 1 year later when we had the same 4th grade teacher. Our desks sat side by side, so we talked and realized how cool each other was. One day I asked her why she always stared at me last year. She answered, "because your hair was short, I didn't know if you were a boy or a girl." I guess she didn't like my Wilson Phillips hair cut...you know that blond chick that had the short hair? I thought I looked good! I still think I looked cute when I see pictures from back then... Anyway, Laura and I stuck by each other through the rest of elementary school, middle school and high school. And when I was 19, she saved me from myself. However, she still doesn't know that she saved my life.

We were in sync with each other too, we both dated losers...both of our boyfriends cheated on us and both were abusive, but I was lucky to get out when I did. But Laura stayed with her loser until she met Daniel. She left him for Daniel. Thank God she did! It's funny too because if she didn't do that, I wouldn't be with Jonathan. Daniel is Jon's best friend just like Laura and I. And I met Jon at one of Daniel's party. We didn't hit it off right away, but I slowly came around when I was ready. So Laura and Daniel got married and started trying for a family (so that our kids can grow up with their kids). Well I'm happy to say that Laura is pregnant! Yippee!! I wanted another baby...except without being pregnant and having to take care of a newborn all over again. So now I get my baby, but then I can give him/her back to Laura and Daniel. The one thing I'm looking toward is getting rid of all of Nick's baby stuff and my maternity clothes!! Anyway, July 10th 2008 is when my "baby" is coming! And this post is to my Laura, because I owe her my life and I'm glad she's having a baby because I know she's going to be an excellent mother. She's the nicest person I know and she deserves the best!
