12 years in the making

So I know Shannon said we're closing the blog down because all we were doing was Hump Day pictures but something special is here and I had to share it.

Today marks the 12th anniversary of Shannon and me meeting!! I can still remember the day:

It was lunch time on August 15, 1999 (around 11:30 and noon) and we all had B lunch...which means we had lunch between 3rd period. Well Me and my friends went to sit at our table at lunch but this day I was crying. See my boyfriend of over a year broke up with me because I just turned 18 and he was still 17 and his parents were gonna have me arrested if he didnt break up with me. Anyways, I felt this tapping on my arm and I turned to see this little girl (yes little, she's short) with CURLY poofy hair asking me if I was ok. Now get this....I didnt know who she was and we had class together! Now after she asked I felt a little better but I was still hurt.

We went back to class and instead of listening to the teacher (which hardly anyone did anyways) I wrote this girl a note thanking her for being so nice. She wrote me back saying you're welcome and she hated seeing people crying.

THAT is how I meet Shannon Lanphier. She's been my best friend for 12 years now. We've had our moments were we didnt talk (mostly because of guys) but we've been there for each other for everything. I was her maid of honor at her wedding. I was the first person she told she was pregnant with Logan. And I helped her during the hard times of this ugly divorce.

She has been my foundation for everything. Even though sometimes it seems like I dont appreciate the things she does for me, I do! I dont know how many times she's pulled me out the dark wholes I get myself in and she's helped me see the light of things. She is my partner in crime and I love everything about her.

To my darling Shannon, I love you and please stay the way you are with me. I know I can piss you off and do stupid things but you still find it in you to love me no matter what.

Happy Anniversary Shannon!
