Care Bear Stare

“A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.” ― Elbert Hubbard

This is my oldest friend, Crystal, and me.  I'm the one on the left in the candy-striper dress.  She's the little blonde on the right in the prairie dress.  I remember we were so excited about this Care Bear Party!  We coordinated our pink dresses in advance so we would match.

Crystal and I have been friends for almost as long as I can remember.  Her family moved away when we were little, but came back to visit every few years.  So we saw each other pretty regularly growing up.

She is the kind of friend you can go years and years without seeing, then pick up right where you left off like no time has passed at all.

...and guess what?!  She's in town right now!!!!  :)  So, we got together today to go shopping.  We started out at the outlet mall, but it was ridiculously busy, so we decided to go pawn shopping instead.  Crystal taught me how to pawn shop and get the best deals, and I. AM. ADDICTED!  So many pretty rings and deals to be made!

After shopping, we ended the afternoon with lunch at Nick's Jr.  They have the BEST Gyros!  Erik loves to get their heart-stopping GCBC (Grilled Cheese Bacon Cheeseburger).  It's a Bacon Cheeseburger with two grilled cheese sandwiches instead of buns.  Heart attack on a plate!!

It was so great to see her!!  Can't wait till the next time.
