It's BFF Julie's birthday today. I've known her since 5th grade. We even had the same Winnie the Pooh shirt. It wasn't until we both made the volleyball team that we became good friends and then living together just sealed the deal. I should have known that we would be BFF's though. There were signs of it all through our years together. One instance was in the 9th grade. We were both members of the National Honor Society ... aka NHS (dat's right). Actually, Julie was in the presidency of the NHS because of me. :) Anyways, we had an activity at Kids on the Move and after the activity there was pizza and ice cream sandwiches for everyone to eat. Julie and I just kept eating. Slice after slice... it was delicious give us a break. Anyways, we both noticed that we were the only ones still eating, even the boys had stopped (pathetic). So being the 15 year old girls that we were, we got embarrassed. So instead of just pretending like we were full, what do we do? Take another slice of pizza and run to hide and eat it together, just the two of us, free from skinny people's eyes. After exiting the closet we were hiding in, we found out that the ice cream sandwiches were being handed out. Have I EVER passed up on ice cream? Never! So we ate our first sandwich with the group. Everyone else was satisfied with their one small sandwich, not Jules and me. We wanted another one and what are two girls to do? Why hide in the closet AGAIN! eating more ice cream. Julie's mom, Cindy, came to get a broom out of the closet, found us there eating them. She just looked at us, asked us if we were okay, got the broom, and shut the door again. There, in the dark broom closet, we finished off some more ice cream sandwiches in peace and laughter.
I have no idea how at the time I didn't realize that I had just found a bosom buddy. So glad I had more chances to find it out.
Jules, you are: beautiful, hilarious, smart, silly, fun, a great listener, style diva, talented, wonderful, my BFF, a Harry Potter lover (like me), spiritual giant, stupendous wife, genuine, and legal as of today. I love you Jules!! and Happy Birthday!
