Amy and I met because she was my mother. Freshman year she served as my Family Home Evening Mom. My first memory of Amy? I was groucy at her. She called and asked my to buy graham crackers for an activity. I was upset because then she called and asked my to buy mallows too. I was like seriously woman? I am broke! But, I judged too quickly. She had a rocky relationship with Dad. He was a dead beat. So, I took it easy on her. Amy and I bonded when we ended up in the same stats class together. Things were never the same after that. I would love to say Amy and I are SO much alike. But, really-we aren't. I mean we have things in common, but a lot of things we differ on. That's what makes us such great pals. We balance each other out.
Example: Amy is an outspoken person. If she has problem, she will say it. No mercy. I am more of a "Oh, I'll get over it, NBD" type of girl. So therefore when someone is rude to me and I did not fend for myself-Amy does. Or if Amy has a problem with me or thinks I am handling something wrong, she will tell me. She never leaves me guessing how she's feeling. She reminds me of my mom in that way. Bless, her.
Fun facts about Amy:
1. She often gets the words to songs wrong. REALLY wrong.
Examples:
Our song is the slamming screen doors translates to Our song is the slamming green doors
Speak with me now, say the words and we'll go translates to Sleep with me now say the words and we'll go
I'm sorry baby, let's make up translates to I'm sorry baby, let's make love
Free as a weed translates to free as a slave
Took you faster than you can say sabotage translates to faster than you can say menopause
Due to all the time I spent with her, now I have developed her habit:
They tried to warn me, they said that you were ornery translates to they said that you were horny
2. Amy loves to sleep. This woman can sleep more than anyone I know. She always sleeps with her left foot hanging off the bed. Usually when she can't sleep she shakes it up and down. Don't mess with her when she's sleeping.
3. She can dance like no one. If the time presented itself, she can drop it down low like the any black girl.
4. She can sing like Joe Jonas/Creed. I mean, I won't lie I taught her everything I know- but she taught on quickly. At night time, we used to serenade each other with Creed.
5. Her butt is smaller than mine. Which is hard to believe considering mine is so small, but hers is.
6. We text each other's moms. Let's be serious. You know you are besties when you text the other person's mom regularly.
7. Amy is a fantastic runner. Once, while running, we encountered a dead deer all up on the sidewalk. We were so brave.
8. Amy loves In n Out. 2 Semesters ago we went to In n out once a week for almost the entire semester. Talent? yes. We pride ourselves in that.
9. She has the funniest laugh. The first time I really heard her laugh, I thought she was maybe about to suffocate. I can't even explain it. It's like she squeals then goes a long period of time without breathing. Then squeals again. You have to be there.
10. Amy is a rrrrrrrracist. Kidding: But, understands all my quotes. Our favorite thing to quote is Remember the Titans and SNL skits. We probably do it once a day-at least. If I throw a random quote into a convo, she gets it and does not look at me like a fool. I have a father-his name is Eric.

11. She supports my habits. Sometimes I am grouchy and yell. Sometimes I say choice words. Sometimes I chew my gum loudly. Amy does not care. If I do not like someone, Amy does not like someone. She has my back. Also, she supports my inner redneck.
So you may be wondering why I am telling you all this? Because I get to spend the next 10 days of my human life on vacation with Amy Alice Allen. I am so freakin' excited! It will be just like we are roomies again-roomies at the beach. So Ms. Allen-This one's for you, girl. I love you!
