"A friend is one who
knows you and loves you just the same. "- Elbert Hubbard
My status this week thus far: MIA. Tomorrow I
will be leaving on a jet plane to Las Vegas for my best friends wedding. Sara
entered my life at the age of three and our friendship continued for the past
25 years. Today the excitement of my best friends wedding hit me and I
look forward to celebrating her happy day.
The two of us may be an
unlikely pair to most people. She moved to Arizona a few years ago. Rodeos,
country music, cowgirl boots, guns, snow; she completely adopted a different way
of life. She loves small town life and I rock more in a hustle and bustle type
of flow. I like designer purses and sunglasses and would rather shoot off my
left hand, then try to survive in a town where snow falls. On the outside we
appear very different, but as the quote above says, we accept our differences
and support each other no matter what. We will remain soul sisters forever (or
BFF aka Best Friend Forever).
When I travel to Vegas I
stay on the main strip (MGM, Monte Carlo, Treasure Island). I’ve made cameos at
every popular Vegas nightclub. One of my friends from Orange County said she
might attend the wedding, but only if she stayed separate on Las Vegas Blvd.'s
main strip. Sara on the other hand enjoys old school Vegas. Downtown (better
known as Fremont Street and where middle America ventures for sins-r-us) generally
never lands on my list of things to do while I sin freely in one of my favorite
towns.
So this weekend you will
join me on an adventure to a land no OC biznatch travels to regularly. I
probably will stick out like a sore thumb with my wardrobe alone. But I
look at this experience as something new and interesting to add to my list of
life happenings.
Most of all, I'm
totally stoked to experience Las Vegas for the first time with my best girl
friend and to witness her marry her soul mate, Ben. My first Vegas wedding
adventure begins when I land at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow. Stay tuned, it will be
entertaining…just sayin’.
