B.W.F. (best work friend)

I only work with two other full time people, and I absolutely love, love, love, them both!! But the one I have worked with my entire time at http://mckeevervetderm.com/ since 2006, is "the other Amy". (Insert: I pretty much built and maintain this website thank Q!)

Cab ride home from downtown Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, many years ago!! 

UGH! What a rocky first year together. It used to be just us running that place during the week, alone a lot, around eachother 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Two alpha females, you can imagine.

But seriously, since 2006 that relationship is one that I need, I treasure, and I hold to a very high standard. That relationship has been through a lot. And I say a lot because she knows EVERYTHING about my life, and about EVERYONE in it (so beware hahaha).

My birthday, summer of 2007

I think a lot of the time people don't think too much of "co-workers" as close friends. But when you sit back and think about it...these people see us and spend more time with us then anyone. ANYONE. (well, except a spouse)
Does anyone else think about this?
So anyway, as the years went by, and the fights became less and less ;) I feel like we became like close sisters. Really. Like a love/hate. Like italian sisters. What I mean is, we can fight big, but we love big: Quoted from the reality show The Real Housewives of New Jersey.
When you're around someone SO MUCH like this, you get to know eachother so precisely, that you know exactly what will set them off, and what will rub them the wrong way. But on the flip side, we think and then say out loud the exact same thing sometimes, it's scary. Bizarre really. Is she my soulmate..? Haha!

We do hang out outside of work to, but not too often. I mean, we see enough of eachother right?! I even call her Grandma my grandma (both of our Grandmas are named Carole/Carol.) I also call her aunts my aunts....they are the FUNNIEST aunts ever!! I wish I WAS truely related! haha!

Amy knows me at my worst, and at my best. She knows the true person that I am, because she's seen my many Gemini sides :)

At my Engagement Party, 2011

We are so close that if I'm hurting, she hurts. If I tear up, she tears up. She's fun, immature, and crazy loud like I can be!  Sometimes we scare people that we've just met.

She makes me laugh so hard I can't breathe, and she makes me so angry sometimes that I'm shaking. She would give me $200 bucks if I needed it today, and she calls me out if I'm wrong about something. That's the way close friends, your best friends, should be. We are POLAR opposites...but we are exactly the same. Funny, but it's true.
