Transformation Tuesday: BFF

"Being friends, that's just something you are. . . But, I do pick you. . . We've been friends too long to pick, but if we could pick, I'd pick you.” ~John Green

Now it's time for our second installment of Transformation Tuesday.  (If you missed the explanation of this little series, click here.)

BFF is one of my oldest friends.  When he introduced me at his wedding rehearsal dinner he said, "This is Tiff.  She's been my friend for.....well, I don't remember a time when she wasn't my friend."  That pretty much sums it up.

Track Meet 2002 - Chase's Wedding 2012

I met BFF when we were 9 years old at the County Fair.  I couldn't even venture to guess the number of hours that we have spent together in the last 20 years.  In high school it was everything from judging camps to basketball games to track meets to dances.  In college it transformed into lunch multiple times a week, him taking frequent naps on my couch, fights at the golf course, drinks at the Penny, my threatening unworthy girlfriends, and many long conversations over tubs of Oreo ice cream.  Once we both had to leave the glorious mecca of Stillwater, Oklahoma, the friendship transformed again into my favorite phone calls and text conversations.   I do not think there is anyone who is better able to talk me off a ledge, understand what I'm feeling, or tell me when I'm just being stupid.  Oh, and he gives the best hugs and always laughs at my jokes.  No matter what is going on in my life, he has the uncanny ability of making it okay.  Twenty years of knowing a person does that for ya, and I love this kid more than these pictures can say.
