Let me start off by telling the story of Meg & Mary Beth:
I met meg in our Acting I freshman class. Meg was a sweet, beautiful, talented gal. Quite frankly, she intimidated the crap-ola out of me. She had a relationship with the Lord and a faith that I did not have the maturity to understand at that point (thankfully I get it now). I was also pretty convinced that she liked Drew and vice-versa.
Our friendship only began though in Disney World. Drew had 3 free tickets to the mouse's house and invited Meg, Shick, and Me to go....or rather we begged him to take us. Shick and I did not want to go with Meg. I was terrified that Shick was going to beat up Meg. Seriously. The animosity in the beginning was not a pretty thing...However, once in the parks we put our differences aside and began what became a beautiful 3-way friendship! Ever since then we have been inseparable (minus the current miles that separate all of us). I love both of these girls like sisters.
Here are some of my favorite memories:
The Dress Up Box- In our sophomore dorm room we had a community dress box that Meg and I (all of us really) really liked playing in. We would dress up in the most ridiculous costumes and just sit around talking in weird accents making each other laugh until it hurt or someone had to rush to the restroom! It was a glorious thing.
Big @$$ Snails- One day Meg and I were walking home from a rehearsal and I saw a HUGE snail on the wall. I looked at the snail and very calmly stated that it was a "big @$$" snail". Meg nearly wet her pants. Since then, every thing has been "big @$$" and we make a donkey pun whenever we can. As a matter of fact I have made it a personal challenge to send Meg every card I see with a donkey joke on it.
I Love Lucy- Meg and I both share an affinity for Lucille Ball. When we lived in Johnson we used to fold laundry and watch I Love Lucy and laugh and laugh. We vowed to put together our children's cribs someday together while watching I Love Lucy. I so hope we live close enough to do this someday.
Birthday- One time Meg told some random 65 year old man named Hank Shaw on facebook Happy Birthday thinking that it was my brother. She then followed it with "You look so old my friend!" again, thinking it was my 18 year old brother. I have no idea how this confusion happened, but I have not laughed this hard in a really, really long time.
Chicago- Meg has a beautiful family and a lovely home just outside of Chi-town. We took an aMaZiNg college trip up to her house just before Christmas a few years ago. It was awesome! We got to explore the city, go sledding, watch Christmas movies, and just hang out! Her siblings and parents were incredibly gracious hosts and it is a trip I will never forget!
Moving Night- One of my fondest, yet saddest nights with Meg was the night before she left Palm Beach to transfer schools. Shick, Meg and I stayed up all night until Meg's dad picked her up at 7am. We laughed, we cried, we took pictures, we relived memories, and we loved every moment of it. I know that is a memory that will always remain close to all of our hearts.
Stalking- I like to stalk Meg. I like to draw pictures of me stalking her, make dolls of her out of Pringle Cans and then smash them, hide in Meg's bed and scare her, etc. It is a guilty pleasure and I love it. I think she has finally accepted that it is a love language of mine, and nothing really to fear!
Meg,
Thank you for being such a wonderful friend to me. You are gorgeous inside and out! You are one of the funniest people I know and I LOVE knowing you! You have taught me so much about the Lord and I can never thank you enough for that! It is so nice to have a soul sister! We will always be close no matter how far apart we live from each other. I miss you so much! I am so excited to see what will come for you in the future! You are in my prayers always! I love you Meggie.
