I recently traveled to Anniston, Alabama for a training with the Department of Homeland Security for Radiological training since I am on the HazMat and Safety committe at my work. Luckily my best friend Becky and her family live 10 minutes away. The class was great, the instructers were so smart, really neat training exercises, nice people in my class.....and I passed!
At night I stayed at Becky's house rather than staying in the military barracks that they had assigned us. I don't get many chances to see Becky so when I do I spend all the time I can possibly spend with her. Her mom and dad were so wonderful, made dinner for me every night, opened their home to me, took care of me since I wasn't feeling very good. She did that when I was younger so she said nothings changed. Which made me laugh. Becky and I spent the whole week together. We made cupcakes, argued about where we were going to eat (which gets nowhere), went to bingo......we were losers, went to Sonics for yummy slush, wore pajamas, laughed like we were kids, ate ice cream....perfect best friend time.
The day after I left she moved to Florida for a new job, she was pretty excited to go, but that only means she'll live farther away from me. We made a promise when we were kids to stay best friends forever.....go skydiving, be at each others weddings, be there when each other have babies, see each other once a year.....and so far I am happy to say we have kept all of our promises so far. No distance can ever keep us apart.
