plum head of the week 3.25.08

oh my MOB. she's special, not borderline - special. haha.

i wouldn't have half of my best friends that i have now if it wasn't for MOB. i probably wouldn't even be living in cleveland if it wasn't for MOB. seriously, you all should thank her.

i met MOB the summer in between our sophomore and junior year of college. she was living in the ghetto (at UD) that summer with two of my friends mary jo and beth. i had come to dayton for the long weekend because mary jo and i were going to see two DMB concerts in a row in columbus so obviously i was going to be staying in dayton with the girls. that weekend was when i met my friend MOB and we became instant best friends.

it has always been a very easy friendship - no weird getting to know you phase. i knew from early on this girl was going to be a part of my life for a very long time. MOB apparently did too, moving into 520 junior year MOB knocks on my front door literally as stepho and i are unpacking boxes and is like, "HI! is it time to hangout yet?" it was hilarious.

MOB and i are a lot a like, and having someone in your life that has gone through so many of the same experiences and emotions as you is someone that you automatically have a forever ease with. of course we also can be REALLY bad influences on each other, let's just say we have gotten into a lot of trouble together.

i'll just go ahead and leave it to 5:30am hills - way too many nights in a row, mackinac island and the neck brace. oh lord, don't even get me started on that damn neck brace it should be a post in itself.

from the summer of 2000 MOB has always been there for me and i don't know what i'd do without her. thank you for everything. love you MOB! xoxo
