On what I NEED ...

 And her name is ASHLEY...  

I can't live without this girl.  I just can't.  Being best friends doesn't even quite come close to the relationship we share.  Sisters?  Maybe .. but closer.  Soul mates?  But I don't sleep with her.  You only sleep with soul mates right?

She's my girl..   always and forever...


She makes me smile.  Makes me laugh.  Makes me forget my worries.  Overlooks my faults (of which there are many).  Never judges me .. even when she should.  I just love the heck out of this girl.  If you knew her .. like I do .. you'd fall in love with her too.

With Ashley .. it's quite interesting.  It's like looking in the mirror.  Except seeing features that are the same .. but different.  Maybe what I'm saying is that we look alike .. but she's a lot more stunning .. so saying it's like looking in the mirror makes me feel good.  Yeah .. I'm going with that.  Twins .. except how come I got the ugly genes?

This trip was broken up a little like the last one.  But BONUS .. it was TWICE this year that I've gone to see her.  And twice isn't anything to sneeze at.  I'm just grateful is all I'm saying.  Bonus .. extra credit ... a steal ...

We did our usual .. beach, pool, tan ... and late night giggles.... talking .. talking... laughing ... talking.  It's what we do.  Predictable?  Yes .. and I love it.

Unfortunately freaking Irene messed up some of the sun time.  But we made the best out of it.  DIDN'T WE ASHLEY??  They were called hurricane parties.  Every night.

And looking through the hundreds of pics we took over the course of several days ... I do believe there aren't many I will publicly post. As I would rather not humiliate myself.

Memories ...


 Night #1 .. finally made it .. white sundress ... rough hair .. makeup washed off... but she still loves me ...



Day #2 ... only beach day ... thank you Irene.  (thank you really means f*$# you)







Night #2 .. or #3 ... can't remember ... does it matter?  What does matter is the freaking awesome twins outfit we came up with ... easily entertained...  we are still 16... inside...





 Night #3 or .. #4 ... um ... again ...




Next series is just a story that unfolded right in front of our eyes ....



I look behind Ashley and there's this guy taking off his pants ... I thought it was underwear .. nope ..
just a WHITE speedo.  REALLY?  He's proud.  Super proud.  He walks by us .. and falls behind the wifey to give us the "wuz up" eyebrow.  Wife looks back and glares at US like WE did something.  Check your man's swim attire sweetie ...




 and it gets better .. he walks right in front of us to LAY IN THE SAND ... yes .. LAYING THERE .. obviously .. again .. super proud of himself I guess.  
Like the way Ashley and I pretend pose for the cam so we can get a shot of Mr. Macho without it looking too damn suspicious?  

 Wow.  That is all.  (wow said not in a good way fyi)


 Night #?  I don't know ... it's all just nights ...



 those are my hands on the left .. I mean the right .. left ... right - I don't know ...


funny.. blurry .. like the night ...



Car trip ... to ... somewhere ... like Target .. or Ross ... 


A sunny day at the pool ... 





 until this rolls in ...







It may have been cloudy and rainy on the outside in Florida .. but really - the sun was shining INSIDE for us!!


This was a sign .. an upside down rainbow ... that told us God was happy for us too!  

Okay okay .. and I can't help myself .. gotta post ONE humiliating one .. you know .. for posterity's sake ..


It's just simply called ... J-O-Y!

Thanks to this man .. for making most the pictures and a good time possible ...
Pete's da MAN!
(I kinda wanted in the couple's picture too ..)


Till next time Ashley ... I'm slumping till we meet again!

I've never had a friend anything like that. You two are very lucky. And silly. Can I call you silly? I know I'm new here and all. Still, I envy you both for having such a good friend in each other.
