My Little

I made it! I've traveled all the way from Mommyville and get to write on TRS' blog for the day! I almost wrote this post at 2:00 this morning about why it sucks being up at 2:00 in the morning because Ruthie (almost 1) has a nasty cold and has been waking up at ridiculous hours the past two nights. But I spared you my spewed frustration and waited until I had a few more hours sleep, with coffee in hand. 

So, how do I know TRS? The better question is how DON'T I know TRS? When I was at the University, I was a member of the Outdoor Club, the ultimate frisbee team, FCA, and in a sorority. Oh, those don't really fit? I was definitely one of the more outdoorsy sorority members, but I had fun nonetheless. One the first day of frisbee practice my sophomore year, a very cool, very tall freshman girl joined us. We were paired up to guard each other, and not long after meeting her I decided I wanted her in our sorority. And not only that, I wanted her as my little sister. My big sister was also on the frisbee team, so I knew we'd make the perfect family. While breaking many rush rules, I got my wish. All three of us were bestowed the Granola Girl award our senior years (hence my pen name). 

TRS was my maid of honor at my wedding to Mr. Incredible (also known as T.S. on the blog), and I was her matron of honor at her wedding to KW. The summer she and KW started dating, I actually tried to hook her up with one of T.S.'s friends, not knowing this other guy was after her. Someday you'll have to get her to tell you the story of Ocean City, a small plane, and the Attack of the Killer Seagulls. 

Did you know she also does hair? She sculpted this 'do for me, and did my hair on my wedding day!

TRS is the Ultimate Cool Kid. She was the one who brought back the jean jacket. She was the first one to truly understand the greatness that is the Flip Flop (we both wore them to at least one sorority formal). She can quote all the great movies, and has a super sharp wit. She throws an awesome Bachlorette Party and it a great gift-giver. While she may be my Little, I want to be just like her when I grow up. 

But you guys already know this, because you read her blog! Isn't she the greatest? I can't get enough of The Roaming Southerner! We still daydream about living on the same street someday so we can raise our kids together.... but at this rate mine will be babysitting hers!

I love you, TRS! I hope you're having an awesome time with Penny and KW on your road trip. Can't wait to hear all about it!
