I've got this friend...

Do you ever have a time when there is something that reminds you of someone? Well today I have been thinking about one of my friends. I will tell you what made me think of her later in this entry.

This friend of mine lives far away from me, and I haven't seen or talked to her in YEARS! Now, you may think what kind of friend she is when we haven't even talked in years. Let me give you a brief summary of my meeting Emily F.

Our husbands went to school together. They both did their Master's degrees in Economics (I know BOR-ing!). My hubs decided to go to Law School, her hubs decided to get his PHD. Well long story short they both ended up choosing the SAME school to accomplish their major schooling needs. AND after hubs and I found a apartment to live at, Emily and her hubs went a few weeks later and landed an apartment just TWO doors from us! Emily and I had never met, so we met when she moved to the new abode. I tell you when we met we were instant friends, I swear we are kindred spirits or something. WELL Em's hubs didn't have a very good time in the PHD program that he was in. He decided to see if he could transfer to a different school. Turns out he got accepted to another great school, so just after a few months THEY MOVED AWAY! I was so sad! But ever since then, that was SIX years ago, we have managed to keep in touch through email mostly. We've seen each other once or twice, and talked on the phone. Here are some things about Emily:

~She has the most GORGEOUS long blond hair ever! Her daughter is totally blessed with this hair also, I mean it totally grows like a weed!

~She loves to work out. This woman would work out while watching shows. Oh and I think I recall a time when she was doing crunches on her ball while talking to me on the phone. She has always been in such great shape too, even after having 3 kids! (I hate her for that!)

~Emily is a wonderful musician. Also a great mom and wife.

~She is a work-a-holic, but somehow juggles everything else she has to do with ease. (How do you do that?)

~Emily loves TV, like me, and we had THE BEST Alias and Bachelor get-togethers EVER!

Which brings me to the reason I think of Emily today. A brand new season of The Bachelor starts tonight and I know I can count on Emily to watch it! Em, I'm totally going to have to talk to you about this one, I mean come on, he has a kid!

So anyway, sorry to bore you all on Emily. Maybe you need to dedicate your next blog post to a long lost friend?

(I miss you Em!)
