Day 26- What you think about your friends
Well that is a silly question...they wouldn't be my friends if I didn't like them. The bad people in my life I have already gotten rid of and thank goodness. I do wish that I could hang out with my friends more, but our schedules don't match much.
Chris, well he is Uncle Chris in our house to Sadie and of course Kaylie. He is our best friend and I have always saw him as a big brother, which is funny since he is younger than I am. He has been there through a lot with Zach and I and we know we can count on him for anything. And the kids adore him too.
Andrew & Jo, we have known Andrew since grade school and he has always been like a brother to me. Our first year at UNI we use to go on "dates" because his girlfriend at the time was in high school and Zach was in Dubuque. Then he brought his lovely wife Jo into the picture and we have loved her since we met her. I love that I have someone else to keep me sane when the boys are being boys.
Sara & Chad, I met Chad first when he started at UNItix and then Sara was hired. Sara and I really hit it off and then we started hanging out as couples. They have become great friends and we don't know what we would do without them. Even though neither of them work at the ticket office anymore we still try to get together often.
Susan & John, We met Susan first in college; she lived on the same floor as me. The first day we met her Zach had to carry her back to her room that night. We have had some fun times from college and beyond with her. John, well I will be honest the first time I met him I didn't think we would get along. He is a very loud person and those of you who know me...I am very quite. But I have to say that he has grown on me and I just ignore him...ha ha. Kidding John. We both wish they didn't move to Davenport...we will miss them. :(
Reese & Carrie, Reese met Zach at UNI and then they decided we should go to a movie together. We hit it off right away. We even found out Carrie and I had met at a softball camp in high school...small world. Now the boys talk nerd while Carrie and I have our own conversation. Glad someone else has to deal with the "wow it is a clear cord" things. We are so happy that they are in Iowa City now instead of Minnesota.
Megan & Ryan, Megan was in our group when we were in school and her and I were pretty close and Ryan we knew of in school but didn't talk to really since he was a few grades above us. We have stayed close with them, but they live in Readlyn and have a cute little boy Ryker that keep them busy. We love that we can pick up right from where we left off when we do get to see each other. Zach and I are happy that they have a kid too so we aren't the only ones.
Courtney & Phil, Courtney and I have been friends since we were babies. Our moms actually went on diets and then they got pregnant with us. This is funny because I am two months older than her and Kaylie will be about 5 months older than their little girl. Phil we met when Courtney stayed dating him and have like him every since. We wish we say them more, but they live in Iowa Falls. Maybe with the baby, Courtney and I can have some play dates.
Shivanie, Shivanie and I met when she was still working for UNItix. We hit it off once I started to talk finally. She said I was a hard person to open up, but now we can talk for hours. We unfortunately don't get to see each other much anymore because she now lives in Texas. Can't wait for her to come visit and meet Kaylie!
Jacki, We lived on the same floor with Susan at UNI. We all had some great times, but when she got out of college she moved to Colorado. I miss her dearly, but get to see her from time to time when she come home to Iowa.
I love my friends and all of them for a different reason...they are like family and Zach, Kaylie and I are happy to have them in our lives.
Voice: Kaylie sure knows how to use her voice. It mostly is for good happy talking, but we still get some screaming fits from time to time. She sure has a pair of lungs when she does get really mad. We are very glad that she doesn't have a screaming fit daily any more.
