Public Displays of Affection

Day 5, Sunday: Publicly profess your love and devotion for one of your blogger friends. What makes them great? Why do you love them? If you don't have blogger friends, talk about a real-life friend or even a family member

I'm new enough to the blogging world that I can't say I have a blog BFF yet.  I do, however, have a BFF who blogs. Hayley and I have been friends since high school, though we met years before in elementary school, when our moms made us trick or treat together.  She was a Raisinette. I have no idea what I was.  And we didn't like each other, one bit.  She was girly and prissy and did her hair and had posters of JTT all over her room.  Even as a 7 year old, I was a contrarian.  I was too hip for JTT- Erik Von Detten was where it was at.  

Somehow we reconnected in high school when we were on the yearbook staff together.   She graduated a year before me and went off to college in Utah. I called her every.single.day. of her freshman year at college. I don't know how she tolerated me. She is now a social worker, and I'm pretty sure me forcing her to be my personal therapist for years contributed to her career choice. We have been through several crazy boyfriends, breakups, New Year's Eve fights (don't ask), and somehow she still let me be her Maid of Honor. Even though we live 2,000 miles apart and she now has a husband and baby(soon to be babies!) to take up her time, she still manages to talk to me through some of my crazier moments. I will never have as many inside jokes with someone as I do with you Hayley, my Schultz sister!

Hayley's Wedding Day- candid of me crying, how dramz

Best maid of honor ever, I wore a coat in all of the pictures
