The first is Ann, she was my maid of honor when I married Dennis almost 2 years ago. I have known her since 1998. We met in a college class and had a couple of more together. We clicked right away. She is a free spirit, very independent and fiercely loyal to her friends. Her and I have had similar traumatic moments and so we understand each other. She is one of the few people who know I am a rebel at heart. After we both finished college, we went to work for the same company. In fact I got the job cuz of her recommendation. We both have a strong work ethic and sense of responsibility. I worked for her part time when she started her own mobile bookkeeping business. We work well together and she is very gifted at accounting/finance stuff. We have had many deep conversations, many that involved alcohol. When the company we both worked for was sold, we sat at her house drinking and just talking about the years we had spent there. She is one person I always see when I make it back to Phoenix (not counting family).
My next best friend is Angela. She is a crazy, wacky fun loving gal. We crack each other up all the time. I met her where I worked in AZ, same place Ann and I worked. We were both in the same dept and talked and hung out but then the last few years before the company was sold she was assigned as my assistant, for lack of a better word. We sat right across from each other and boom the rest is history. We were fairly isolated away from everyone else and we spent a lot of time while working delving into deep subjects. Sharing our pasts and giving advice and helping each other when one of us was just barely hanging on. We also shared comedy and swapped lines back and forth. She is a very wise woman who has great insight and she says the same about me. She is also fiercely loyal and very forgiving. She also loves my zaniness and my ability to switch subjects on a dime. She says I am like Peanut, one of Jeff Dunham's puppets. And she is so right, I am. She knows I will love her no matter what direction her life takes. She says I am one of the few people in her life that does not judge her but loves her for who she truly is.
The last best friend I have known all her life cuz this friend is my daughter Melissa. Her and I are so much alike in every way. We are both responsible and dependable people but also crazy and fun loving. Even as a teenager we did not have a lot of conflict. We have done so much together since she has become an adult. In 2006 we even took a vacation together to San Francisco and we had so much fun. Everyday we were out and about. One of us would suggest something and the other would go okay. Then off we would somewhere in the city. We are still like that. Her and I can stay up all night drinking and talking. When I visit Phoenix I stay with her and it is so relaxing. Last time I was there, Dennis was not with me. I stayed with her 4 nights and we spent a lot of it just hanging out, watching TV, drinking and talking about nothing and everything. We have shared a lot of deep conversations. Her and I have both been through therapy for things in our past so we are at a healthier spot together which is why we can share such deep conversations even when drunk without getting into arguments. We love the same types of movies, shows, music. In fact we will lay in her bed and watch reruns of shows like 90210 over and over together. We love award shows and entertainment magazines and all that Hollywood gossip.
