Tessa and I have been friends for a long time now. O We met our freshman year in college in Psych 101 (I don't remember the actual course number). I was talking to a girl named Heather (who sat in between us) about how I didn't want to live on campus my sophomore year, but I needed a roommate to be able to afford to live off campus. She said, "ya'll should room together. She's looking for a roommate too (pointing to Tessa)." We both said, "great." At the end of class Tessa stopped me and said she was so embarrassed, but she didn't know my name. I told her I didn't know hers either. Yes, that is how we started our friendship.
We ended up living in the scariest apartment complex. Oh what memories. From our weirdo neighbor who asked if we'd like to come over and share a box of wine (yes a box of wine...we said no) to hearing crazy noises and meeting in the hallway (me with the phone ready to dial 911 and Tessa with a baseball bat), to driving into SA to try on wedding gowns. Tessa was also a great cook and loved to bake. She especially loved to bake when her and her then boyfriend (now husband) Jason and her would get in a fight. I hated to see my friend sad, but I loved to reap the benefits. (Sorry Tessa).
We only lived together for one year because Tessa moved on to Tyler for her nursing degree. I was sad to see my good friend go, but we remained close. Since then we have been in each others weddings, celebrated the purchasing of our first homes and Tessa helped throw me a great baby shower. I am now looking forward to Tessa jumping on the mommy wagon.
Sadly, I did not do a very good job of taking pictures of our weekend together. I told ya'll I'm bad about taking pictures. So I only have one pictures of us. What do friends do when they get together? The dye each other's hair.
And just for a fun, a picture from our college days.
