M&A

So happy to be home for a few weeks with this girl.  This post is dedicated to a few thoughts on the matter of our friendship.  We became best girls the very night we combined our closets into one.  And the cloth sharing continues even with the miles between us.  Everyday of high school we would share a lunch.  Always written in marker on the brown sack holding our apples soaked in lemon juice was M&A.  Emmy has a bossily confident personality that Aubrey is not afraid to stand up to, making us quite the duo.  Aubrey is the craziness and emotion that the level-headed and logical Em often has to call back down to earth.  When I alone do not have enough courage to shop for size D or paint my finger nails, Emmy holds my hand.  And when Emmy alone does not have enough courage to break the rules or go to that dance party, I hold hers.  We share in a love of Gilmore Girls and Zupas.  Girl dates replace all Christmas and birthday gifts.  Once, I accidentally popped her air mattress.  More than once, we spent the weekend camping out in my bed.  Emmy loves me enough to try running.  We are the cutest candy corns known to man.  Emmy knows more about her older brother than anyone ever should. And I cannot thank her enough for playing both of those roles--little sister and best friend.  Distance can not stop us.  But it sure is nice when I only live down the street.
