My BFF ... Oh, Susan ...

There are many special people in the world, and my friend Susan,is one who is near and dear to my heart. I was feeling lost in an area I hadn't worked before and she taught me a lot. What started as a working buddy has now become a special friendship, and she is truly one of my best friends.

With that said we have a lot in common. We share the same wedding anniversary; are the same age; hold the same position at work; she's from Cottonwood and I'm from Cottondale; her daughter is Laurie and mine is Lauren. Our mindsets are much alike and we both have a "look" we give that can make people get out of our way.

We both are compassionate and kind people, but we differ in that she'll let things roll off her back much easier than me. Susan won't let anyone run over her, but she'll try to overlook the "stupidity" of her friends, where I'll just call them out.

I'm dedicating this blog to my dear friend, who is also the "Margarita Queen." She celebrated her birthday a few weeks ago. On the weekend after her birthday she had a party. Many of her friends came and boy did she have a good time. It was wonderful seeing her enjoy herself so much, and I admire her for the fun spirit she possesses.

It has taken me a few weeks to get my thoughts together on this subject. I'm writing this because I think that sometimes special people need to be recognized. This is her time and I'm officially extending her birthday into August. Now her husband just needs to buy her another birthday present. Go David!

Happy Birthday again

to my best friend!
