One Down

I met my friend A.J. (Anthony Joshua) back in seventh grade (a year after I met Omar!) when he transferred middle schools.  Since then we went to different high schools, colleges (kinda), boyfriends/ girlfriends, wedding (mine) and pregnancies (also mine) and are still pretty close friends.  Close as I guess we could be with two very different lives.  In my life my oldest friends are (in order of appearance into my life lol)  Omar, Cameron and A.J. ...Darlene came into the picture in 10th grade. So imagine how insane it is to realize that one of us is 30!  I mean, yes obviously we are not ancient or ready for a nursing home… but seriously 30?  I for one still feel so young, like I can keep up with the kids (although OMG I call them kids--- first sign you are old!)  For his birthday his (very sweet) girl friend Norma planned a too thoughtful VIP bottle filled evening at Blue Martini.  A little short notice, but I hooked him up with a small little pull a part cake :0)  Happy Birthday old friend...I cannot believe our bond is 18 years old and counting.  You are such a special friend to me and to my growing family.  Thank you for sharing your day with us, and thank you for staying part of our every evolving lives.  oxoxo, US!
