Challenge. (x2)

Day 02 - A picture of you and the person you have been close with for awhile.

 "The" person? I'm not really sure who to do. I guess I'll do my *Newest* friend that I consider myself close to & then write a little about everyone I truly am close to. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of myself with her (yet).

This would be Naomi. I've known who she was since October 09 when I joined iVillage. I never started talking to her, like a lot, until July/August '10. Needless to say, I consider myself very close to her. She is one of my best friends, hands down. I can tell her anything & everything. She always listens. Not only does she always listen, but she remembers. There is some people that you can talk to & tell them things, but a week later they will have no recollection of what you said to them, as important as you may believe it is. Not Naomi. She remembers everything I tell her. She asks me about stuff. I might not talk to her 24/7, & I may have never hung out with her, but I seriously LOVE her. She is such a Godsend of a friend. She's completely mature, responsible, gorgeous, understanding, funny, ect.  My relationship with her doesn't even feel like it's a "virtual, long distance" one. I seriously feel like I've known her forever & she's right here in Michigan close to me.

(I'll type more later if you read this & see this... I have to clean & get ready for class, so *to be continued*.)

& Time to continue...

That is Alicia, Mason, Carter & I. I've been friends with Alicia (on & off) since 5th grade. We used to be the craziest little girls. She is the one who totally corrupted my mind, without her I would have probably played with barbies til high school! Haha. Now we are both raising our cute little boys together. I don't think either one of us growing up ever pictured ourselves walking around the block with our strollers in tote, yet alone with even our dogs! (We both have girl dogs, & boy babies... haha)

This is Susan & I. We have been best friends since Freshman year. Without sounding like a homo, it was kind of a "love at first sight" friendship. She is always here when I need her. She is one of two Godmothers of my son. She's basically just like me. If you met me in an (half)arabic form, it would be her. Love her!

This would be Megan. I'm not even going to lie, when I first knew her, I was not one of her biggest fans. She scared the hell out of me. I didn't know her personality was just strong & she was just blunt. We started talking our last semester of high school. Though we didn't talk constantly throughout college, when I needed a friend, she was here. She is absolutely amazing with my son. I know if I ever needed someone to back me up, she'd do it in a heartbeat. (So would the other girls, but Megan would be the most defensive.) Her Mom was even my recovery nurse in the hospital after I had Carter. Now she is expecting her little girl, Makynzi, in a little over 2 months. Yay for another friend for Carter!

I'm not going to write about the family I'm close with, just friends. So Marissa & Emily, if you find this... don't be offended.
