MY BEST FRIENDS

So one day while driving, I was thinking about how much I just adore all my best girlfriends.... Even though we are living much different lives and are not routinely in the same circle of friends, we talk pretty much everyday. Thank goodness for email!!!!

No matter how hard life can get sometimes or how down I feel about certain things, I always revert back to how much I am blessed to have 7 beautiful friends, inside and out.

I wanted to write down all their unique qualities and express to them how much I love them and how much they mean to me.

Alicia
AKA: Club Alicia (my favorite), Spring Break, and Danga
Oh Alicia.... Alicia is my Soul Sista. She is one of my best friends that is probably most like me in many many ways. She is my CLUB ALICIA and a dancing fool! When we go out, we are always always on the same page which sometimes can get us in trouble. Alicia has a very strong personality which I am drawn to...she can be the biggest biatch and the sweetest little thing ever. I respect her cause you definitely know where you stand with her at that exact moment....no fluff. She is a very independent woman! She is a fellow VIRGO. :) She is very intelligent and once given a task, she will complete it to the best of her ability. She is very organized and detailed-oriented. She always has her lists and calendar squared away...she is a planner (like me). I have so many great memories of her, it's just endless. She has looked for love for a long time and I am so happy that she has found it and is undergoing a new FAMILY adventure. I wish her all the best and I am so happy for her. Alicia and I are like sisters, I wouldn't know what I would do without her in my life. I love her to peices and am so thankful she is my best friend.

Lindsey F
AKA: Lala
My Fun Lindsey!!! I miss her so so so much. Words cannot express how many times that I wish I could drive 15 minutes, be at her house and pop open a bottle of wine and just chat. I am so proud of her for her new found independence and leaving her home, friends and family, to see what new adventures she can find herself in up in Washington, DC. Lala is my hippie girlie, a person who strives to maintain balance and serenity in her life....much like a LIBRA that she is. Lala is very logical and opinionated and has a strong sense of right and wrong...she has a very sensitive heart. I see her always appreciating true beauty in her life and has a unique sense of style which is fitting of her personality. She is often very flirtatious and truly is herself when surrounded by people who adore her. I feel like Lala has grounded me many times (in a logical frame of mind) when I feel out of control. I have the best time taking road trips and partying....I think we both bring out our adventurous side. She is my Alicia Silverstone and I am her Liv Tyler in Aerosmith. I love you Lala. :)

Lindsey SG
AKA: Slaw Puppy, Puppy, Peaches, Slaw Dawg, Slaw
Puppy is quite possibly the nicest person I have ever met in my entire life. No matter how she might feel about the person she tucks it away and puts a smile on her face. Sometimes I wonder how she does that? LOL. Most of the time, she is cool, calm and reserved on the outside and just has that THING that just attracts people to her. Puppy is warm and sympathetic and will surprise you with her quick wit! She always looks at the glass being half full rather than half empty. I laugh cause she is such a "pansy" (as her husband would say) about doing anything girlie that involves pain (waxing, threading, etc); however she can play sports with busted up limbs! She's my Peaches in the fact that she manages to always be the "Urban One"...even when we dressed up as 80's.... "The biatch keeps it real!" And in this sense of the word, she can go toe to toe with you if you cross her. I love you!

Kelsie
AKA: The DIVA and I like to call her Kel Bel
Kelsie is the DIVA of the group. Always in the latest style and always dressed to the "T". I think I see hearts in her eyes when she is shopping....she definitely has "that glow". She is probably the only one who wakes up in the morning and her hair is perfect (Will was very jealous btw). We all know how my hair can look when I first wake up! LOL. Kelsie and I first met in Marketing classes at UAH. Kelsie is very smart and is level-headed. She is super silly too, especially with some of the things she says. She is very steady and reliable and she rarely gets upset. She enjoys the good life and she maps out her way methodlically to reach her goals. I must also say that Kelsie is well-liked, kind and considerate. I miss her and I hope that she will soon move back to the South. I know how she misses it down here. Love you Kel Bel!

Brandi
AKA: Baby Brandi, Brandilicious, B-Rand, Brandi You a Fine Girl
She is the baby of the group. Little Miss Brandi. ;) I think Brandi has grown up a lot since the first time I met her and I am very proud of her for also spreading her wings and achieving very important goals. For a seemingly very confident person, she has a lot of self-doubt within herself which she will overcome with time. Brandi has a magnetic personality and enjoys seeking the spotlight, as a true Leo should. Brandi is hilarious and cracks me up and not even meaning to....I will always remember her crazy emails, the puppy picture with one eye, balls off my drumset, show stoppers, etc....there is just too many! She is fun loving and caring and I love her!

Jennie!!!!!
AKA: Jennie B, Jugs Jennie, Jennie B Fitness, and Slightly Ghetto
Jennie is a character! A FANATIC! over the Kentucky Wildcats...she is the CHEERLEADER of the group! Jennie is cautious and has a guard over herself around people she is unfamiliar with but once you know her she is just the best. I love her colorful personality and the fact that she can get "slightly ghetto" even for a Kentucky girl. She has spread her wings and went back to her "Homeland" where I know she is thriving. This girl can lift some weight and when I was in her Body Pump class, I just gasp at how much she can squat, curl, etc.... She is small but a stick of dynamite....so don't piss her off. But when she loves you, she's the sweetest! I love you JB!!!

Kristen
AKA: KT, Tits Tanner
I have just recently really gotten to know Kristen and I think she is just superb! She is SO FUNNY!!!! I think she is a truly genuine person and a great friend and am looking to knowing more and more about her. I miss her too! She has moved to Country Music Capital. I can always count on Kristen to be silly and giggle with when it might not be totally appropriate. I feel like we just CLICK and get this same sense of humor. I love her dancing skills! Especially while driving! I love how she acts all ballsy when she goes in a ghetto liquor store! She is just a goofball!!! Love you Kristen!
