Just to Clarify...

I mentioned in a previous post that my sweet pal Carla put on a wonderful baby shower. I also clarified that she is not my oldest pal but the pal I've had the longest. Truth is: I'm older than she is. A more eloquent way to describe her is that she is my friend with whom I share a rich history of memories.

Carla and I have been friends since the first grade. Yes, the first grade. Her family is my family. My family is hers. There's a good chance she knows me better than anyone. And, there's a pretty good chance I know her better than anyone. I don't know if you've had the privilege of having a friend for almost 30 years, but there is truly nothing like it.

I could go on and on about our friendship and all I owe her for. There's a good chance many of you already know this, but she is truly one of the most talented, generous, loyal, kind, and humble people you'll ever meet. She would be upset with me if I elaborate much more, but suffice it to say, I am blessed to have her in my life.

For most of our friendship, people have assumed we're sisters. And, I guess I see it a little. We do think on the same wave length most of the time too. The picture on the left is posed and we look all presentable, but the picture on the left is more us. I have no idea what we were talking about, but clearly we were having a moment of some kind.

What a blessed girl I am!!
