cause we're cousins, identical cou-sins
My frist Fabulous Friend is my cousin Amanda. Cause we're cousins, identical cou-sins.................. no, we are not sisters, but apparently we totally look like it. Everyone is always asking if we're sisters whenever we're together! The best was the summer I came out for her wedding and we had the same haircut- yeah, totally looked like twins then!!!! (sorry for the funky pic, i had to scan it......)
Amanda is the closest person I have to a sister. Though we grew up thousands of miles apart, we were still always really close. Every summer I coudlnt' wait to see Amanda. We woudl play dress, play paper dolls, build houses with cardboard boxes n (she would acutally save the paper dolls and houses we made all year until my next visit- and she never played with them with out me!), gossip about boys and play with makeup.
I learned some pretty important things from Amanda
* That New Kids on the Block has the hottest guys ever
* How to curl my bangs
* That it was about that time to finally shave my legs
When we became "adults", she moved out to California with her husband and son. I lived in Santa Barbara and was only a few hour drive so I got to visit her lots and lots! It was awesome to have family so close to me (my parents had since had a midlife crisis and decided to move to iowa to become farmers............)
I was there when her middle son, Jordan, was born. It was such an amazing experience and I feel so honored and special that she wanted me there.
If I ever need advice, or have questions, I know that I can always count on Amanda. She is the best listener, never judges, and always makes me laugh. We have so much fun together!!!!
I've always looked up to her. She had the coolest clothes, and I always feel so great when she wanted to see what clothes I brought for my visits. I still look up to her, she is an amazing mom to three beautiful little boys, and a devoted wife, and I know when I'm finally blessed wiht my own babies I'll be constantly calling her for advice!
When her family was recently put through a horrible and tough situation, I was completely amazed at how she handled herself. She was always composed and put on a happy face for her boys. I just don't know how she did it, and I'm totally in awe of her for it. Like I said, I still look up to her.
I totally miss her and boys right now. But luckily she's coming to visit tomorrow. Woo hoo!!!! I think my post about how much I missed them had something to do with it
*Amanda, didn't mean to make you cry, but I'm glad it convinced you to come and visit me! I love you lots and lots xoxo your identical cousin, Kat : )
