X-mas a little early!!

My best friend Laura and I always buy X-mas gifts for each other, and we never wait till X-mas to give them to each other.. She and her husband Zach just bought their first house together and I am so glad that it is only 4 miles up the road from me. Thursday we both needed to get some more shopping done, and thought heck why not exchange our gifts to each other. I bought her tons of towels, washcloths, and kitchen rugs and pot holders. Although she has lived on her own for however long, she needed new and exciting things for the new place. I was shocked when she gave me this Ok so my gift doesn't really compare to hers but I am so thankful to her, I love it, it's brown suede and has pink crystals on it..

She didn't spend that much on my gift, but won't tell me how much she did spend. She said that she was tired of me always fixing my little crystal clips on my cheap purse that I bought off Ebay. While I love that purse and always got a ton of compliments on it, I am very appreciative to her buying that for me!

Laura is the kind of friend that you know is always going to be there. We can call each other at any time of the day or night or early early morning for that matter. She cocktails at a local bar and if something interesting or funny happens she thinks that at 3am is the time to call me and tell me about it. I love that we talk about 4 times a day, usually about nothing too important.

Laura is more than just a friend, she is more like family. We have been through so much together, she was right there for me during some really hard months a few years back and I too for her. We are ok with just sitting and watching TV not talking at all. She went camping with Mick and I and the kids for 5 days one summer.. Although she doesn't have her own kids I know she will be a great mother when that time comes!

Thank you "Laura Bell" for all that you do for me, I am a better person for our friendship!!
