Or as I like to call her Dre. She's the only one who really cares if I blog or not, so I figured I'd dedicate a post to her.
We met many years ago down at BYU in the Nursing program. Liz was friends with her first. I remember seeing her in our geriatrics class. She was wearing white and pink striped pants, and they looked good! I wanted to be friends with that good-looking girl.
I probably forced my friendship upon her. I remember Liz telling me the story of how she slipped on the ice on her way to study with us and would now need to borrow some clothes of Dre's. :)
These study sessions were not the most productive thing because we liked swapping stories so much. It's so fun when you meet someone and make an instant bond. That's how it was with these girls. We're all still friends today.
Dre used to ask me if I wanted to come sit on her couches. What a pick up line! Anyway, she knew I would because they were such great couches!!! And it was really an excuse to talk! We became extremely close and lived together the next year. Classic phrases from that time:
"sit up and cough it out"
This was when I got the black lung (as my friends called it- actually bronchitis and early stage pneumonia!!!!). I was coughing all the time and I thought I might die... sort of.
"go to church, go to school"
This was when Dre was sleeping and I walked into the room. I thought I'd woken her up, but turns out she was just talking in her sleep. Totally normal.
"ICU baby, shaking that thing"
Turns out she was saying "I see you baby, shakin that thing", and not referring to a small child in the intensive care unit. We also danced to "Sweet Escape" by Gwen Stefani all the time.
This is probably my favorite picture of her. Maybe.
The room we shared together. She wouldn't get off my bed!!! My grandma made me that pillow case!
Ok maybe this one is my favorite. The snow child.
Studying for nursing exams and looking our best!
See...we had a lot of fun.
She's sandwiched in this picture with my family. Dear heart.
Here we are all dressed up for Halloween one year.
Hooray for good friends. I get to see this friend this weekend and I'm excited!!! Thanks for having a second baby Dre!
