Goodbye Girls

This is a short tribute to my roommates, some of whom I've only lived with for about a month, and another a whole year....However, I love them all to death (despite their quirks and weird habits - TRACY!) I'm going to miss them a heck of a lot next year!


Tracy (Tracens Vermetron) - Tracy is my therapist, and as a fellow "verbal processor" has stayed up countless nights with me talking through situations and events of the day in an attempt to understand what's going on, and how to react. We have also spent countless nights in fits of laughter, as we tend to have a very similar sense of humor. I adore Tracy - my sepia toned, brownie makin', batter licking, backrub giving, add-n-to-everything roommate (actual, physical roommate). I heart you Tracens! Some of my favorite memories with Tracy (over the years) include standing in line for HP books, being read to during laundry, "squeal piggins" (piggins, yeah), swimming in the pool, that "special" trip to K-Mart, and Carly's Mom.




Allyson (Ahrison) - My little colorful ray of sunshine....My South Lake Tahoe K-Mart buddy! Allyson is one of the most uplifting people I know, and her cute little comments always make me smile. I haven't gotten to spend too much time with her this summer (seeing as how she's getting married and all), but she will always have a special place in my heart. She made my time working as a cashier at K-Mart enjoyable with her hand motions and funny comments. I love you Allyson! Some of my best memories include, Does your back hurt? Nudy duty, "the field", and getting "smashed" at the Christmas party.












Julie - Junie, JuliANNA - This girl is the girliest girl I've ever met (besides me!) and I couldn't adore her more. Julie and I have been close for a while now, and I wouldn't trade this relationship for the world. She's crazy, a hypchondriac and madly in love with her caveman boyfriend ( I love you Andy!), but she's also an amazing listener, Seinfeld quoter, entertaining story teller (hahahahaha), go-with shopper, Long Island Drinker, and one of my best friends in the world. I love you Junie! There are way too many stories to list, but as to a few: Shopping at Gap, making tapioca, "Sacajawea", New Orleans, LIQUOR and WINE!, getting lost EVERY time, strong drinks at the Mexican restaurant downtown, The Fray, Snow Patrol, and Relient K concerts, sunshine cupcakes, and "whine" at Open Sores....













Jennifer Palmer - JPalm, Jenny *ahem*....Jennifer Palmer, my soulmate, my number one supporter, the voice in my head. Part of me hopes that she'll stay single forever so we can always be roommates. Jennifer always has the ability to make me laugh, talk me down, smack me around when needed, talk me through a situation, share biblical wisdom, convince me of what I really want to do, and comfort me when I really need it. Jennifer definitely has wisdom beyond her years, but can also interpretive dance like the best of 'em when she lets her inner child out. Her quick wit and strong hand to put up with my personality (that likes to change at the last minute) is what has kept me together over this year. I love you Jennifer! Some amazing memories include: The Dock, our "clique" in Tahoe, trips to Taco Bell, the beer guy in thr truck in Tahoe, playing in the snow!, coming home from events and being sad together, "the cave", little notes on the whiteboard or mirror, and the "someday famous" black man selling body oil out of his pocket that I paid $5 to hug Jennifer!













That turned out to be a lot longer than I was anticipating....I think that only adds testament to the fact that I love these Godly, funny, cheerful, and enlightening women, and I am really going to miss them next year!
