My Best Friend

Do you have that one person in your life that is always there for you? Your best friend...

Well I have someone in my life who is more then my best friend. She is my sister, my best best best best friend, my amazing Ashley, my partner in crime.. ASHLEY DILLIN!!!!
basically... she is the bomb.com


I cannot explain our relationship to people. Seriously. We are so complete opposites! There is no logical reason or concrete evidence that we should be friends. But yet she is the only one who fully understands me.
Here are some examples: (yes, I am bring out the bullet points)

  • She is an English major (I am positive this grammar is killing her) -- I HATE ENGLISH with a fiery burning passion
  • She is a total gamer--- I do not play games. I do not even know how to turn an Xbox on. If I ever walked into a Game Stop they would all turn heads and say "WHY ARE YOU IN HERE?!"
  • I have a total obsession with shopping, make up, pink and all things girls-- She has absolutely NO interest in any of that. If she goes shopping its to buy her normal pair of jean and a few tank tops. Then she is a B- line for the door.
  • She is basically a total Bad A. Seriously.
  • She can read a book a day - I hate reading
  • She thinks sororities are stupid- I am in one.
  • Our difference of TV Shows. (except she got me addicted to House, M.D.)
  • She hates yappy/ small dogs. She likes the more manly dogs- I have a 6 pound Maltese puppy
  • She is a total tomboy- I am the more preppy girl 
  • There are so many more and we will probably add to this list later!!
Now on to our similarities:
  • We both love horses
  • We both love summer
  • We both love swimming/ ocean/ any body of water
  • Oh and Dr Pepper
Seriously. Thats it. Thats all the similarities we have. I'm not joking. 


But put us together and it is like my world is right. She always knows what to say when I am down or when I need advice. And advice on anything! Boys, school, life, ANYTHING! She is amazing.

Now how met is a pretty interesting story. Basically we were forced to be together-- not against our will but basically forced.
Heres the story....
Junior year of High School we both had the same Ag Class. We had already been to school with each other for 2 years (honestly I thought she was really weird  lol and I didn't put time in getting to know her) But we both had this Ag class. In the beginning of this class we didn't sit with each other. But we were assigned a project. We had to pick a partner. We both looked around the room and thought the same thing. "I don't want to sit next to that girl... She is really weird and I really don't want to work with her. I don't want to work with any of the guys at all... I guess that just leaves Ashley/ Katelyn" It was kind of just known that we would work together.(thats how it was forced... in a way) We both didn't complain about it, we just accepted it and started planning out topic. From then on.... our lives would never be the same (say that with dramatic effect) But seriously. From then on we were inseparable. 

We can't call ourselves best friends because we are so much more then that. We are going to have to come up with some name for our friendship because Best Friends just doesn't even begin to cover the bases! And we can't begin to describe our relationship because it is so opposite and so different then most friendships. 

Ashley knows me better then I know myself. She can tell what i'm thinking with me being in a different state! She is my absolute sanity when I need it the most. She has seen me in the good and the bad and she knows how to give me what I need when I need that advice. She tells me the truth and doesn't sugar coat it no matter how tough it is. I can always count on her to be my partner in crime. She is so protective of me that I know if I go anywhere with her she will be the one standing in between me and a huge biker dude (just an example!) saying she will knock the fire out of him if he comes any closer to me. And lets face it..... Ashley is a tiny little thing! I know that no matter what I do, she will always take care of me and be there for me. She will always have my back through anything- And I got hers!
This Picture totally sums that up...
In fact... The caption under this picture on facebook says this:
"i'll always be right behind her... ready to beat the crap out of anyone who messes with her"
So better watch out... she means it!

Even if we go for several days without talking we both know that it is OK and that wont hurt our relationship because we both know that no matter what we go through in our life we will always be best friends and we will be little old ladies having motorized cart races down our nursing home hallways. (and by the way mine will be hot pink and I guarantee hers will be blue or black)

This summer that is coming up will be an amazing one. Both of us have been so busy that we only saw each other only once over Christmas break and only once last summer. It is rather sad. But this summer will be totally different because all I will be doing is work and we will MAKE time to spend with each other.  This summer will be a blast and I can't wait for all the memories that we will make. 
I LOVE YOU BEST FRIEND!!!!!


Best friends and dreaming of summer,
Katelyn Elizabeth
