Missy makes our list for many reasons:
1- We've been friends since preschool.
2- We share the same name. No we aren't sisters. We always think it's odd when people ask us this after we tell them our names... like our mom loved the name so much that she chose it twice? . . . Never quite made sence to me, but it's shocking how many times people have asked that question. It reminds me of that Dr. Seuss peom about the mom who had fifty sons and named them all Dave. That's Dr. Seuss people, not real life.
3- She will sing "Once There Was a Snowman", and "Popcorn Popping" as we ride our bikes down the neighborhood just so Milo will be a happy bike rider and I can get some exercise.
4- She understands the beauty of napping, swimming, otterpops, and crafting. just like me:)
5- She'll jump on any bandwagon with me... Hawaii...Harry Potter...Air gliding...Modge Podge...Fads are so much more fun when you have a fanatic friend with you.
All jokes aside, Missy is a true friend. A seminary teacher once explained that a true friend will always build you up, never persuade you to sin, and will always give you the opportunity to be better. Missy does all of these things, but what is even more awesome is that she has always been that way. All the way from Grandma Beverly's pre-school to self centered high school, Miss has always been a true friend. She's never been the one to get tied up in trash that gives you temporary attention. She's just always been the rock. I can't remember a time when Missy didn't include everyone, flaked out, or demanded that she get her own way. She is a true friend who will be my friend forever.
