My BEST friend!


Paula and I both started working in Labor and Delivery about the same time, 2 years ago. I'm pretty sure she was the first person to say Hi to me, and introduce herself. We've been best of friends ever since. This last August, she was strong enough to pick up her life and move it back home when she realized that her life with her husband was no longer going to work out. I had never been so devastated in my life. During that time, We worked opposite nights from each other so we didn't risk the chances of getting cancelled, but the one night we were finally going to get to work together and catch up on life...I wake up to text messages from her letting me know that she was leaving and wasn't going to make it to work. I cried. Hysterically. I felt horrible that she was going through this, and even worse, that I didn't see any of it coming. Immediately I had called her, getting a voicemail I was frantic and told her that she had to call me and explain what was going on. 20 mintues later she called. Explaining everything, I realized that for her to move back home was the best thing for her and her little girl Mia. We both started to cry and then she told me she had to go. That was that. And then she had sent me a text message stating that shes terrible at good byes and hates crying. You and me both Paula.

Well, I haven't had the chance to see her since August. Until last night! She had texted me letting me know she was in town..I unfortunately scheduled to work so I called my manager immediately to talk my way out of working. It worked. Luckily it was a slower night so she grantedme the entire night off. YAY!! So I went to see Paula, who is now dating her best (male) friend that she has known for 10 years. He was there and after giving Paula a hug, I'm introduced to Jeff. He gives me a hug instead of a hand shake, because he's 'heard so much about me from Paula'! Aww....We had a great time of catching up. She seems so happy now and I'm glad. Despite the fact that we had a few too many adult drinks, and trying to bring a close to everything the last time I had seen her, it was a little emotional at the end. Our lives are going in 2 different directions, and it made me sad realizing that I'm not going to get to see her as often as I'd like when I move away...

I've always grown up not having a BEST friend, but just some really GREAT friends. Now I can say that I have a BEST friend. Her name is Paula Herrera. I have to add also that she's gonna be in my wedding one day. HAHA. She already told me that I'd be in her's when she gets married again. And she said if she wasn't in mine, that she would come and crash it. HAHA. I guess I have no choice now. Gotta love best friends!

P.S. Tiana, your my best friend too!!! :)

Superbowl XLIII

I have not so nice words to say about the superbowl. :( I was crying when Larry Fitzgerald made the last touchdown with 2 minutes left on the clock....I had a friend next to me crying hysterically (as if someone has just died)... Which made me cry even more because I was laughing so hard. And we cried...until the Steelers recovered the fumble and made the winning touchdown. Speechless. Then came cuss words. Lot of them. The officials were paid off. It's obvious. I know who the real winners are. GO CARDINALS!
