I went to LSU and lived in the dorm. I met this girl, Frankie, who was on our floor and I immediately thought she was weird. I don't know why, though. We went through rush and we ended up joining the same sorority. One night, I was stressing about a biology test that I just knew I was going to fail and she came to help me study. She stayed up with me all night long and just made the stuff seem so easy! She's the smartest girl in the world, but still cool at the same time... a hard combination to find. That's when I realized she wasn't "that" weird and we became great friends and later roommates. Her, Becky and I all got married and we were all in each other's weddings. We always stayed close friends through all of our moves. Luckily, she got chosen for dermatology residency and moved to NOLA and the exact same time Jack and I got stationed in New Orleans. What are the odds? We lived 5 miles apart and literally made dinner for each other almost every night. Her boy is the same age as William and our kids are great friends. Then Jack gets deployed and I move home and only a few weeks later she finishes her residency and moves to Lafayette too! I am so fortunate to have Frankie as a friend and even more fortunate that we get the chance to live so close for a few more years. I know it won't last, but we will enjoy it while we can!
