H22BD BETHY!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETHANY

This weekend is Bethany's birthday, and I kinda believe in over-celebrating birthday's! so I am dedicating this blog post to her!

Bethany and I have grown up next door to eachother and have hung out almost everyday for the past 18 years. We have so many outrageous memories together. I miss the days of riding down the stairs in sleeping bags, singing the proclaimers 'I would walk 500 miles' playing endless hours of Barbies, lemonade stands and putting our bikes in the road so people had no choice but to stop! Days of playing "Atendo" (nintendo...I could never pronounce anything right and I always tried to teach bethany how to say things...even though they were wrong). Making forts, going to pebble beach, making countless music videos when we were 12...  and from about ages 4-6 we honestly thought we were twins! we really, really believed this. (Not sure why we thought this...we look NOTHING alike, but we were very convinced).

We ALWAYS thought about our future...we wanted to be 'big girls' so we could go to meijers with no parents (that was a big dream for some reason). Soon after turning 16 we realized there was more to life than going to meijers alone, so we took a few road trips! we are lucky our birthday's are close so we could enjoy most of this around the same time! We got our first apartment together rightout of highschool- which was another thing we ALWAYS talked about doing. 

 When I was fairly young, I wrote her a poem that I had forgot all about, but she found it not too long ago. I must have been in 1st grade...but we laughed for hours due to all the gramatical errors in this:

"I have a friend named Bethany, she's very very Nice- she Is as nice as the taste of honey freash off the comb, She is sweater than a flower Briter than the sun she stand out better that any of them all I like her sense of humer I like her when she down I like her when she hyper as hyper as a ball She's nice all the time I never seen a crime from her that does not trouble from a nikle too a dime"

Now that we are older, we look back constantly and are so thankful for the childhood we got to share together! We have such a wonderful time doing everything...weather it be going out, or just sitting around on a lazy sunday!  In all the fun times, I know she is always there for a serious conversation, or someone I can cry to.  A couple thousand miles has not seperated this friendship at all! She still manages to make me laugh daily, mock me, and even ruin all my baby names! I hope my kids love "Aunt Bethy" as much as me!
