You know how a lot of people say something along the lines of "Oh, I've known this person forever!" when in reality it's only been a few years or so? Well, I've known Stephanie almost literally before we were born. Our parents went to the same church and our mothers were both pregnant at the same time. I was born 25 days after Steph. We've been best friends since we were babies in the nursery. I really don't think there was ever a time where we weren't best friends.
Through the years we've done everything together. We spend most of our little kid days outside in the mud and climbing trees, sleep-overs, shopping, telling secrets, planning our weddings, and just being best friends.
I can't remember a time in my life when Steph wasn't there. We have the kind of friendship that's not going to fade over time. Yeah, we've had some spots were we didn't talk a lot but we weren't ever not best friends. We've had so many good times together. I can't even begin to count the times we've died laughing over everything and nothing. I have so many stories I could tell about the trouble we've gotten into, the awkward things we've said, the dumb things we've done, but it would take forever.
Steph is one of the most amazing girls I've ever met. She's always happy, positive, and she loves God so much and it shows! She's one of the nicest people I know, she's smart, she's pretty, she's talented, she's humble, and she's totally going to kill me for this, but I don't care. It's worth it to have the world know that my best friend is better than yours. =)
Lately, we haven't had much time together due to our varying schedules. After awhile of not seeing just her, we finally got together and had a sleep-over last night. It was a really, really good time. We watched a movie, laughed til we cried, felt awkward, and stayed up far later than we should have. This morning we actually walked about a mile and a half in the rain just to sit in Starbucks and chat over coffee (wow, we sound so grown-up!). We talked for almost 2 hours non-stop about almost everything. From our lives and how she was right about every guy I liked, to the lady next to us with the lip liner and longs nails that looked like a parrot. *giggles* She was scary.
As you can see, we have a really good friendship. I am so thankful to have a best friend like Steph. I love her very much. (In a totally non-sketchy way of course.)
