from the lakes of minnesota

it has been a tough week here nicole left for pitt on sunday and melissa leaves tomorrow for st. paul, minnesota. melissa and i have known each other since a fabled day in 1992 (yes folks we are old) when she came to visit corpus to see if she wanted to join the insanity. we clicked instantly in april of our 7th grade year and have been best friends ever since. we have been through a lot from the joys of middle school, the craziness of high school coaches (hoffman, jimmy and murrey) about a million crushes (i honestly don't think there is a single guy at st joe we didn't have a crush on at some point), several broken and in some cases shattered hearts, proms, y2k, countless nights at the bar, dozens of sleepovers and just about everything in between. so as she takes off our her next adventure we had to live it up at least one more time. we had a relatively calm night last friday at corby's and then onto backer



but something told me weren't done yet and we weren't. last night we sent our girl out in style...there are very few people that can convince me to rock out until 3 am on a work night but mel is for sure on the very short list... here are a couple of the pics from last night, the rest you can check out on my newly created (much to my dismay) myspace page...




words cannot express how much i am going to miss both nicole and melissa, but with football right around the corner i know nicole will be back soon and we are already planning a trip to the tundra for mel's birthday, if you want to join let me know :)

love ya girls south bend isn't going to be the same without you this song is for you both...
