MEGAN IS COMING HOME....


...Hip Hip Hurray…. My best friend is returning to the unfriendly loneliness that we refer to as the dusty cofines of West Texas. I’m totally excited. The last thing I want is for my friend of…hmm…*counting on my fingers* 15 years to go so far away from me that I’m not able to see her. You see, she’s been my BEST friend since the 1st grade and I couldn’t ask for a better friend. She stuck by me when I was pregnant, in fact, she carried the pregnancy test around Wal-Mart for me, and we saw people we graduated with, and she acted all cool about it. We had our falling outs and I will agree when she tells people that I was a real bitch during my pregnancy. It was a tough time, and no matter what, Megan was there for me. She is the greatest friend I could’ve ever asked for, and I hope that I have been there and supported her through the tough times just like she was there for me. My dad refers to her as Auntie Megan. She is always buying stuff for Brooke and making her things. She loves Brooke and Brooke returns the love as well. Most people she won’t go around, but if we’re with Megan, she will go with her.

Brooke was about 1 week old and Megan came over to see the new little addition, and she held her, although she was afraid she was going to injure her not so fragile body by holding her. She was also very scared that she was going to drop her. Megan did fine, and Brooke didn’t cry. I’m sure she actually recognized the voice that was speaking to her. If I wasn’t at Megan’s parent’s house during my pregnancy I was in Lubbock spending quality time with her. Her mom was really also very supportive and would ask me questions and I would call her and ask her stuff. She told me things that I should and shouldn’t be doing, and was really very loving. Lance, her brother, was too. He’s just like the little brother I never had. It was fun and we always enjoyed the company. Or at least I did. I was very depressed during my pregnancy and it was really hardon me given the circumstances. I would decide on a Friday morning that when I got off of work I was driving to Lubbock and would either be back on Saturday night or sometime Sunday. I always had a place to stay and I was always welcome at her place. If not Megan you better let me know.

I’m not really sure as to how we came about being the bestest of friends. But as Megan tells it is that we were in the same 1st grade class. And I wanted someone to spend the night with me, so I asked Megan. ***If this is wrong please correct me*** We have become really great friends out of this experience we called 1st grade. I love her dearly and I couldn’t asked for a better friend with a better family. ***UPDATE FROM MEGAN: I distinctly remember the day that we became friends. It was first grade and your mom had asked my mom in the parking lot at school. It was the day that Ashley Richards had been swinging around the poles that made the school sign (in the parking lot) and she slipped and busted her head open. I got invited to go to Target with yall (I think in Odessa) and we stopped at your house and all I wanted to do was play with your toy kitchen because I didn't have one. I think Celeste was there. You wanted me to spend the night but I couldn't because I think it was a school night. That is all my feeble 6 year old mind could hold...all I remember of the megan-kourtney friendship event

All I can say is that I feel like a person who has found their long lost love. I’m giddy with excitement, and excited beyond belief. My best friend has found her way home.
