My Lacey

Hello all,

Happy December 9th/2010! This day doesn't hold anything special to me, other than it is the day that I wrote my Political Science exam this year, BUT I hope it's a great Thursday for everyone. It's Grey's Anatomy night so how could it NOT be a great day, right?

Anyways, I just wanted to post a blog about my dear friend Lacey. I don't know who of my readers knows her or knows about her but Lacey is my 'oldest' friend as I would say. I've moved quite a bit in my life (refer to previous posts...) and Lacey has been the longest most consistent friend that I've had! It's true love really!

We are so different which probably makes us work as friends. Her dad once told me he thought we looked like twins which is crazy talk because we are opposite: she's blonde (the red is fake! FAKE!!!!), green eyes, and has perfect straight teeth, nothing like me!

I met Lacey when I was in grade 5, but we became really close in grade 6. This was when I lived in Tumbler Ridge. We would walk home from school together and have sleepovers all the time! Her family became my 2nd family, her mean brother who always beat her (they are basically best friends now, oh how times have changed...) and her lovable mom and dad took me in! She had the best pantry of school snacks, and the Marshall family introduced the Stewart family to Fruit-os. Yum!

When I moved to Ontario, Lacey decided at the end of grade 9 to come to Ontario for a month in the summer to visit! It was like no time had passed. She had to put up with me and my first boyfriend. I wouldn't say it was all that bad, he did teach her how to dance all ghetto fabulous on a street one night. Yes yes...the masses were amazed that Lacey danced with a black man. Ha!

Over the years we've made trips back and forth to random locations to see each other, sometimes not speaking for months at a time. But she's is the kind of friend every time you do talk, it is like no time has passed.

I didn't lie, it really is true love. I adore Lacey and I love her heart so much. We can be so silly together and so serious and I always enjoy myself when we are in the same location at the same time. She's been such a great friend for so many years, and I wouldn't replace her for anyone!

So, Lacey, thank you for being such an important part of my life for so many years. Words can't even begin to express how grateful I am for you!

I love you!!
