I could not think of a better fitting title to describe what I am about to show you....
You see, my Bestie Amy came to visit me this past week.
We have been friends for a looooong time.....about 15 years!
That is plenty of time to build up quite a stock of memories, moments, and, of course....
......embarassing pictures :)
Let me first introduce you to Amy and Diana, circa 1998....
Yeah, I know......soooooo stylish!
But anyway, Amy and I met at school through a mutual friend all because we both were in LOVE with this awesome boy band......Hanson!
We clicked right away and didn't spend much time apart.
Most days, we just hung out and were complete goobers......I mean, we were just 12 or 13!
Did I mention the goober part????
So, after the 8th grade, my family was set to move.

| Here we are (me on the left, Amy on the right) on our last day of school together. |
But, Amy and I stayed the best of friends through high school, college, and into our adult lives.
We visited each other a couple times each year.....and usually had an adventure planned for each visit!
Once, we drove all the way from Oklahoma to Colorado with Amy's mom for a Hanson concert!
The highlight of the trip (other than Hanson, of course!) was this totally awesome slide at the restaurant we ate at.
And stopping to see the world's largest prairie dog, but that is another story! :)
Another time, we got together at New Year's.
I am pretty sure we ended up wandering around downtown OKC aimlessly that night.....
Amy came up to Kansas City a few times too.
We are masters at the "self portrait" with a camera!
And one time, I suprised her with a visit in Edmond.
Since Amy has always lived in more "fun" places than I have, we had a lot of visits in her city.
In college, I came down to visit her in Miami......clearly, that was a fantastic trip!
Always looking out for each other......even applying sunblock when necessary!
We met up at Disney World one year too.....
Then Amy was my Maid of Honor in my wedding.
No idea why it is soooo blurry, but there is Amy on the left.....bawling!
Just wait until she gets married........I will be a mess! :)
We met in Chicago too......
.....just to see a Hanson concert!
Yes, we made signs and shirts.....and followed Hanson to a White Sox game so we could hear them sing the National Anthem.
Just remember....I said at the beginning that we were goobers!
The last time we got together was 3 years ago when we met up in New York.
Since our last visit, our lives have changed a TON!
I have 2 kids, we both have moved a couple times, and we are busy with everyday life.
But FINALLY Amy came up to visit me here in Duluth!
No worries, that is a post all on it's own......... :)
But, I will leave you with a final thought.....
Who would wear this unless they were visiting the set of "In Living Color"??!!
