Chelle and Red

Amy has a couple friends from college that are true blue. Every girl needs friends like that! I'm not sure if she met Jenna and Rachelle her freshman year, but I know she knew them by her sophomore year, when she lived with Allie, whose boyfriend Chris was in their room all the time. So I think she spent a lot of time with those two.

Rachelle and Jenna are not really anything like Amy. They aren't athletic, or naturey. They are more into dressing up and don't have that wild child attitude my kid seems to have - jumping off cliffs and traveling to Turkey. Even so, the relationship between the three seems to work. Life is funny that way!

By their Junior year, the four girls lived together in an apartment on Stanton Street. Allie was still spending her time with her guy, but the three musketeers were becoming BFFs. Building memories of crazy times that would bond them forever.

Today, they're so funny to listen to - clever, talking in their own particular lingo only they seem to understand. I know how that is - I have that relationship with 3 very special college roomies of my own. We have our own lingo (Vicki Kim from Hong Kong) and memories from those three years we lived together. Even though it's been thirty years - the time melts away when we're together!

Saturday night when Jenna - the ginger-haired gal, and Rachelle - girl with the vixen eyes, joined us in celebrating our friend Brett's marriage to Shawna Miller. It's just fun to watch the three girls have a good time together. And they were that night - along with a few of Amy's schoolmates - Ryan McKim, Dusty Mullin, Thatcher and  Nick Young. As Pablo says, Amy enjoys life.

The girls were laughing earlier that night about how Amy had snapped at them when they visited Denver over the 4th of July. It was really hot and they were hungover. She didn't want to turn the air conditioner up on her car - tempers were fraying. They all laughed about it later. Now those are good friends!

Amy, Jenna, Rachelle

Amy says she doesn't have any Denver friends that she can snap at yet. Too bad. Those are true friends - the ones you can show your true colors to, and expect them to still love ya! (But not to treat poorly or take advantage of, mind ya) I'm glad Amy has friends like Ginger and Chelle. People don't expect each other to be perfect, yet we spend a lot of time pretending to be so. When you live together in college, the gloves come off - and you never put them back on again! I'm glad.
