young @ heart

i tend to think that it was fate that brought rachel jenkins and i together
those 3 summers ago.  we hit it off right away - within minutes of meeting
each other we were having deep conversations about the very important things
in life, including but not limited to: the gilmore girls, one tree hill, the orthodontist
we both despised, etc.

we only worked together at the spa for a couple of months, but here we
are 3 years later with a friendship just as strong (or stronger) than those with
pals i've known my whole life.  it was fate, i tell you.

not only did we like the same trashy tv shows, but we have the same name,
and we both love birthdays.  especially our own.  being the occasional
attention-whore is yet another thing we have in common.  this is what we did
for jenkins' big 2-4:


i caught her off-guard by arriving promptly to pick her up for our birthday date.
i'm usually late, but not for important things like birthdays.


i presented her with a few options for dinner, and she chose biaggi's
at the gateway since neither of us had ever been.
the service was horrific, but the food was delightful.


big cheesy portions...just how we like it!



and heavenly cannoli's to top things off.


we then strolled around to window shop (which is never as
fun as it sounds), help our dinner to settle a bit, and to
buy miss jenkins a new book to add to her collection.
i'm proud to say that i introduced the joy of reading for
pleasure to my dear friend.  she has repayed me with an
addiction to grey's anatomy.

after our stroll, we headed to the theater to watch the latest and
greatest feature film, monte carlo starring the one and only selina
gomez.  before you judge us, you should also know that we also watched
and loved the hannah montana movie, which we rewound numerous
times to learn the hip-hop hoe-down.  we may be adults, but we won't
allow youth to be wasted on the very young who think those things
are stupid.  they're simply missing out.


we considered the cannoli's part of dinner and stopped for dessert
at rocky mountain. 



good friends are one of life's greatest blessings.
especially the ones like rachel jenkins.
