people let me tell you 'bout her, she's so much fun...

"People let me tell you 'bout my best friend, she's a warm hearted person who'll love me till the end"

My best friend is Tara.

Let me tell you the story of us.

Tara and I met in a high school chorus class.  She had just broken up with this guy named "Ben."  As we blew off practicing for chorus and talked. I learned all about her- and she learned all about me.  By the end of the semester she had gotten back together with this guy and we all went to prom.  Then Tara went to work at this place, Camp, for the summer and I thought I'd never see her again.  The summer after our Freshman year of college I used to visit her at the Country Inn and Suites where she was the lifeguard.  We had many heart to hearts while german people made out in the jacuzzi behind us.  Then, Oh Glory, my best friend came to college with me.  She didn't disown me when I insisted on having ten stuffed animals on my bed.  She didn't disown me for many of the other bad decisions I made in college, mostly not whitening my teeth often enough.  She didn't disown me when my husband went off into the seven seas and I interrupted her marriage.  She is my hetero life mate and we have matching best friend necklaces.



So, Happy Birthday to my kind hearted, beautiful, Best, Best Friend.
