Friend Friday!

I have decided that Friday's are going to be all about my friends!  I love my friends!!  This week is all about

MELISSA!!!!!

It all started in the 6th grade!  High School we were always together!  My parents basically had another child, because she was always at my house!  We have had some fun times, gotten into a little bit of trouble and had some sad times as well!  I have priceless memories with Mel and am so glad we are still great friends!

 ~Me and Mel - November 2010~

Did you and your BFF ever dress alike?  Well we did, and we wore this outfit a lot, as well as, many outfits from County Seat!  Does anyone else remember that store?  Well back in the day, we loved it!   The night we wore this outfit, we got into a little trouble!  If you remember me and Mel from High School, then you probably remember our obsession with Camelot Boy! Well, we were invited to hang out with Camelot Boy and his friends and so, well we went.  Until my mom paged us (Yes, she paged me on my pager and I called her back on my cell phone that only had 30 minutes per month) and told us it was time to come home.  We did come home, but we brought CB and his friends with us, in my car.  When we walked in the door, mom was not thrilled, and after about 15-20 at our house, she made us take them home.  Which we did.  It was part of our plan - to stay out a little later.  Since we are talking about getting into trouble, I will throw in a few more stories.  When we first started driving, my mom sent us to the grocery store for two things.  I know one of the items was bread, I don't remember the other one.  Well we thought we would be helpful, by just buying a whole buggy full of groceries and we spent $88!  Mom was not too happy about that one either.  We also ran into a pole at the gas station, left a huge line of white paint on the red truck and lied about an ambulance running us off the road in a hurry to get to an accident.  But that's a whole different post, that I might write about later!  After that, I missed my BFF for about a month!!

One thing we didn't do together was cheer.  I was a cheerleader, Mel was not.  This would be Mel, making fun of my cheerleader abilities! :) 

Mel, Ans and Kate at our High School Graduation! 

Here we are again, sporting the same shirt playing with sidewalk chalk.  I just wish I was this skinny again :) 

 We always had people over!!! 



This was when we decided to have our own jewelry business.  As you all know, we have different professions today.  We sold maybe two things to some people at Outback, but we never made any more money.

Anytime we left the house together, my dad would tell us to "think." I love this pic, because the look on my dad's face would look like this when he would give us the "think" advice.  Not sure why I am posing like that by the tree :)

I know this is not a pic of me and Mel, but it has a story.  The summer before our senior year, my parents took Me, Mel, Sara and Jenna to Myrtle Beach.  On the way there, my transmission in my car broke, which meant 6 people had to survive the week with only my mom's Honda Accord!!!  Mel got a broke rib, kind-of and I'm pretty sure we drove my mom and dad crazy!!!  The hand on my dad's face, makes me think he was thinking - did I "think" before I agreed to come on this trip!!
