Isn't it funny to think I've now known you for half of my life!  That cracks me up.  Although, you probably didn't like me much when you first met me.  Years later, after I discovered your little white lie about Milano cookies - I didn't like you much either.  But like mold after Hurricane Rita, you grew on me.

Rachel - this post is about you!  I'm so glad we've become friends.

Rachel is by far one of the funniest people I know.  Her and her boyfriend together might edge out all the other competition.   Rachel is also, always stunning.  Always.  She's always dressed to the nines in some kind of ridiculous shoe, probably even to go fishing.  That's why we love her - she is some kind of fabulous.

Our friendship may have never happened.  I realize I may have missed out on something really great too!  You see, Rachel has this teeny, tiny, itty bitty problem  er, habit.  She's late.  All. The. Time.  And I'm anally(what a silly word)  early.  See?  Total personality conflict.  But after years of trying to trick her into the right time zone, I just gave up.  I got over it.  Just accepted her as is.  I realized, her punctuality was my problem, not hers.  If she's ok with it, then I should be too.   And after that, a beautiful friendship formed.  And then she moved away.

She's a beautiful person inside and out, and I'm glad I didn't miss my chance to be her friend.  She is some kind of fabulous!
