Number 5 off my to do list. The BFF's


Who said you can only have 1 bff? I have more then one. I have 2. And no one isnt my husband. Why does everyone say you have to marry your best friend? I think that is completely incorrect. I love my till death do us part man but its not the same relationship i have with my bffs. These 2 are freaking awesome! No I'm not sayin my hub isn't but it's just a different relationship friendship. I wanna cuddle and grow old with the hub. I wanna grow old and have my bffs around but I don't wanna cuddle with them. Haha! Anyways enough of that. Back to the bff's , Judy and Norma. Girls I love you more then you will ever know. Even though I'm 4 hours away I miss you both everyday.


When I was in second grade at Liggett elem I had a friend named Elizabeth, she introduced me to a girl named Judy. We didn't really hit it off at first. But then once we discovered that our moms went to the same church group every Tuesday we became friends. We would hang out together in the church outside lunch area while our moms prayed inside at the church group. Some weeks she wouldn't go and I remember being so bummed and bored without her. Years went by and once it came time for me to pick a middle school to go to I picked Holmes in Northridge because that's where Judy went. I didn't know anybody else but Judy my first day there since all my friends from the elementary school I went in Sylmar (I left Liggett in 3rd grade) went to other middle schools. I remember being so sad when I got stuck in all honors classes and found out I had not one single class with Judy. I went to the school counselor and lied and said that honors was way to hard and had them transfer me so I could have a chance of having a class with Judy. I think that semester we ended up with computer class and p.e together. Middle school was a trip together for sure. I was more a KROQ girl and Judy was more a Power 106 girl. The first time I ditched school was with Judy...shhhh don't tell my mom. Ditching was one thing she never caught me doing no need to tell her now..lol. We would spend hours on the phone together, anyone remember 3 way calling? When we would go to church retreats we always had a blast. Remember when we got lost in Whitter? Good times. Our times at the church fair were always fun. The sleep overs we had were the best. We should have a sleep over soon by the way. You down? High school had it's good times too. We had English class together and there was never a boring day. I miss all our talks and all the good laughs and scares we ever had. I'm sorry for the time me and April made you sit in the middle of the truck. Lol. I miss her all the time especially now that we have kids i wish we lived close to each other so they could all be friends. By the near end of 10th grade we parted ways. I decided to take independent studies since my dad had moved to Vegas first I figured it was best so my mom wouldn't have to worry about dropping me off to school everyday. Plus I had also heard that doing independent studies was faster and it was I finished a semester by April instead of June. Sometimes I think we would both just love to have one more day of high school or Middle school together.


When I was 14 I started dating the father of my son. He came from a big family that was different then my lil family. One of his sisters Norma became my best friend. It wasn't right away. But as I started coming around more we became closer. While I took independent studies I had a lot of free time which I spent with Norma. I would go over and go to the cemetery with her to visit her mom and just talk about life and have lunch. Now on the most stressful days I just wanna drive to the cemetery and meet her there. Once I became pregnant with my son she was there for me all the time. Being that I couldn't drive and my parents had moved to Vegas by then she would take me to my Doc appts when her brother couldn't. She would take me to school too. When ever I had craving and her insensitive brother didn't care much she would make sure I had it. She makes the best ceviche ever. I learned a lot of things from her. She is like a big sister to me. We tell each other everything. Her coffee is way better then any starbucks coffee. Plus good conversation doesn't come with starbucks coffee. She taught me lots of things on how to be good mother. I'll never be as good as her but I try. Even after I spilt from her brother she never judged me or treated me bad. She's been wonderful with my daughter Mia who isn't her blood niece but will grow up calling her Tia Norma and she been excepting of my nerdy clumsy husband. I wish she lived down the hall like she use to when I was pregnant with Bryan. She gave me the courage to have Bryan with out a epideral. Lol ouch. She called me today and I wish I could have been there for her to give her a big huge hug because she needed it.


To my 2 bff's I would love for both of you to please move to Vegas. Please!
