Reunited.







my friend stephanie has been a huge part of my life for the past 5ish years. she is my soulmate, my twin flame, my bfbtf. we are meant to be friends. no question about it. we met when we lived across the sidewalk at an apartment complex. my first apartment actually... we had both gotten puppies and there was a little yard thing that our section of apartments shared. well, i had gunner outside and she had june outside. and gunner ran over to june and i was like oh noooo! but then they became friends and that made stephers and i friends, because what are you suppose to do, just stand there and not talk to the person who owns the puppy that your puppy is chewing on? this was also when gunner and june were about the same size.... june is a beagle and gunner is a lab/german shepherd mix. they arent the same size anymore.

stephanie and i pretty much hung out every single day that summer. i watched june and willy man (her cat) when she went to vegas, i helped her pack up bens stuff when she kicked him out after their vegas trip. long story. we even went to walmart and got 2 of the cheapest folding chairs so we didnt have to stand all day while the puppies played, and so we didnt have to sit in the grass just to get trampled by them.

fast forward a little while and michael and i moved to texas. that sucked for us. we were separated for an entire year :( but when i flew up for monicas wedding, i stayed with stephers because she had once again kicked ben out. i went with her that week when she got her first tattoo. i was there when she met abe, and when her and abe broke up almost a year later. that was hard.

we lived together for a year too, in the puyallup house. that wasnt a terrible year, but it could have been better. i was a huge pregnant mess and she was working 60 hours a week so we didnt get to see each other much. that makes me sad.

anyway. so we have been hanging out a lot lately but this weekend was like we went back in time and had a lollie and lollers extravaganza weekend. it started out a little like this:

saturday:

i guess when its typed out it doesnt seem that exciting, but it was. i guess i'll just put some pictures in.
