Good Times

Mom and I somehow got on the subject of living in Tampa at dinner this evening and it really made me think about all the great memories that I have from living there. Not many can say that their childhood was the bomb but I really do think that I had an awesome childhood! I had the best friends anyone could ever have and even though Mom has eyes in the back of her head I managed to get myself into more trouble than my older sister did...okay maybe not THAT much trouble but it was a blast none the less!

I remember I had four best girlfriends in Tampa and I remember getting into trouble with all of them. Ashley was number one and she and I would get into the worst fights ever but for some reason we were attached at the hip until I left. Lonnie and I were like Bonnie and Clyde we made the most trouble, not got into but made! I remember one time we snuck into an abandoned house in her neighborhood and thought that we were the coolest ever because we were there without permission! Whitney was my best friend from Lowery Elementary and she was the nicest girl you will ever meet in your life and I'm sure she still is. Whitney had a ferret whom we liked to torture on occasion. Last but definitely not least Tiffany. Tiff and I were like peas and carrots, we did everything together! I remember late one night at her house we played flashlight tag in her backyard before she had to have surgery. She was always on crutches and maybe mom remembers why but all I remember was visiting her in the hospital and riding on her wheelchair :)

I had the best guy friends too. Garret and Jade were probably my favorite! I will never forget the Fawn Ridge water-fights in the middle of the street. I loved being a kid - good times!
