Ugg boots

I can remember sitting on a stage where I saw a complete stranger walk into the gym. Ironically this stranger has changed my life. I can remember looking at her, and noticing the unlimited amount of tattoos covering her body, and along with her was her hairy bearded and tattoo'd husband! Looking at these two strangers would in the beginning probably put your mind through a lot of questions, and assumptions. Its the whole "don't judge a book by its cover" or deal. We all know we do it, and we have done it, but honestly there's a lot of people in this world that you miss the opportunity to meet because of the cruel judgment.

Sitting on the stage swaying my "fake Ugg booted feet" back and forth, there was mutual judgment between myself and the two strangers.

At this time, we didn't exactly talk to much, we were introduced to each other but there was a lot of those awkward moments where we both didn't know quit exactly what to say.

Later that night she told her husband that she would never become friends with the "fake ugg boot girl" As weird as that sounds, the night we met I was wearing cheap boots from walmart that looked like Uggs. Her husband looked at her and said, you should go become friends with the Ugg boot girl.

As weeks went by, this girl; Barclee really impacted my life.

We became such good friends and we are still very very close.

She is a person that I can honestly talk to about anything, and she is so many years older than me, she has been where I am so she can really relate to me and she helps me walk this road in life. Now her having a husband and all we don't have a ton of time spent together but, days, weeks or even some months can go by and we are still so very close. She is the type of friend that no matter what will always be here.

Its honestly like we are sisters, we always have so many of the same questions about life that we always ask each other, but soon find out we have both been questioning the same thing. Barclee has helped me through so much in this life, and without her I dont know where it is life would have taken me, I dont know where I would be.

It was funny this year for my birthday barclee bought me a birthday gift and it was the whole link to our relationship. I opened a box and inside the box was a pair of real ugg boots!!!

I would say a symbol of our friendship would be infact ugg boots, as weird as it sounds, that is exactly a symbol for our relationship because it symbolizes the beginning of a wonderful friendship that we both didnt see to begin with.

Three years ago, I was sent an angel of a best friend, and I couldnt have asked for someone else because she has truly blessed me and has always been here for me.

This tattoo'd girl was a god given gift, who has changed my life.

Thank you "fake Uggs" for proving Barclee wrong.

Multiple Trips Down Memory Lane'

In class we talked about things or what I like to call 3D "memories." Now let me elaborate on this more, these are things, or memories that we have in some way kept through out our years, memories we carry with us. It's like when you go into a classroom and you have to sometimes sign in, it's fine evidence that you were present. These memorie's that we carry are Special and meaningful evidence of our individual pasts.

Some 3D memories that I have kept over the years include the many things that I have decided to not let go. I have decided to bring into my future so that I can look at these memorable objects and begin to see clearly in my reir veiw mirror of what my life used to be. One thing that I have kept over my years is a box. Now your probably wondering what is in this box, don't worry it gets better than just a boring old box. Crammed in this cardboard box, a box with a lot of life in it are memories that have made me the person I am today. Ribbons, Trophey's, Medals, Goggles, Jerseys, Swimsuits, Bathing Caps, Knee Pads, and Photographs; is a box full of achievments.

I can remember, playing sports since I was just a little gal, weither it was bowling, volleyball, basketball, soccer, cross country, track and feild or swimming. These are the things that made my schooling carreer, social life and health so much better. These items are all so significant because they taught me to be a team player, to set personal goals, to be competitive, and to strive to the best of my ability. These pieces of memories bring me back to loses, winnings, hard practices, met goals, and a whole life of playing as a team. These memories are who made me the person I am, the sports, the practices, the teammates, the coaches; they all have had such a strong impact on my life, and have really showed me the meaning of life. When the road gets tough, when practice is hard, you have to push through the obsticles, you have to push harder as if it was your last game, your last race, or your last goal, you have to push your hardest and give it your best because in the end weither you lose or win, it all comes down to how you played the game. Did you give up? Or did you push as if it was your last chance?

I know life can be hard and practices can be hard to, but all those obsticles, tough practices, and hard losses is well worth it in the end.Ribbons, Tropheys, Medals, Goggles, Jerseys, Swimsuits, Bathing Caps, Knee Pads, and Photographs are all 3D memories of what built the person I am today.
