Amiga

In one week from today, one of my good friends Abby comes home for Christmas. Abby is currently teaching in Queretaro, MEXICO. Yep. Crazy women.

She went down there this past August. She was not fluent in Spanish either.  Crazy women.

This girl lives her life. To the fullest. Not knowing a single person, she just decides to move to Mexico to teach Business to 11th and 12th graders. Crazy women.

I also might add, this girl was in a terrible accident in Mexico a few years ago.  Vacation from hell it was dubbed. She was in a cab with her two sisters and was rear ended by another cab. She had some very bad experiences with the healthcare system to say the least. Below is a photo from the paper down there about their accident. They are lucky to even be alive. Angels were watching over them for sure!

That alone would have scared the crap out of me and I would have never returned to Mexico. I am of wussy stature apparently, because this did not hold home girl back. She is the balls to the wall kinda girl.

We met at work. Advertising Sales. She decided she wanted something else. To make a difference. She then went back to school, got her degree in teaching, did some student teaching and walla! She's in Mexico. See? This girl doesn't play around.

{Today's sappy quote brought to you by...I miss my friend.}

Here's a little flashback of times spent with my good friend. A friend who would give the shirt off her back if you needed it. Yep, one of those girls. The kind to loan you money if you need it. She's the kind of gal to call you up and ask to take your kids to the water park. The kind to help you move all your stuff without it being boxed up (yeah the total unorganized move). The kind to nurse you to health.  Feed your kids ice cream at 9am but only after they eat their breakfast.  She loves Usher. She's afraid of heights. She's my new inspiration to run. She'll put you to bed. She'll crawl around on the floor of her townhouse, spying on people outside "talking". She'll give you advice. She listens. She's irreplaceable.

{This one gives me a hangover headache just looking at it.}

Oh hey...It's Carolyn. She better be involved in this reunion too. Or else....

{this goes for you too Carolyn...}

Can't wait to see you Abs!! We can sit on the couch and listen to slacker radio before we go out if you want! Oh, I still have cookies left too! Love you!
