The Bestie

So I decided to change my blog post this time to "Truths about me and my Bestest Friend in the whole wide world... Catherine Ann Stabio... (formerly known has Hecht) ;) haha

1. If you're telling it to me or if you're telling it to her... We are both going to know about it! haha

Me and lil 'ol miss Cat... Well we know one too many things about each other. And too many things about other people! haha Me and the good 'ol bestie have daily chit chats and if we go past a day, someone usually gets an "I miss you" text.... (Although Catherine sucks at responding to messages... FACT!) We are so close and in each other's business that I get to know the TMI's about her and anyone she come in contact with, and vice versa. This "problem" (even though I do not see the problem with it... haha) can be quite obnoxious if you aren't us. So this is fair warning to all involved... If you don't want her or I to know, don't tell us. :)

 


2. Our evolution...                                

  Fall 2010....

..::Now::..



3. ~Memories~
Fall 2010... Our first semester. Me and Cat (to disclose, I was the one who gave her this now famous nickname! Or else she'd still be Cathy... ;) ) were quite different. Both young and dumb! But I was so drawn to Cat's fun personality and my lack thereof that I knew I wanted to be best friends. (Weird but true!) But Cat gave me the BEST birthday party I could have asked for, being so far away from home and homesick constantly. This girl gave me a princess themed birthday party, castle pinata and all! Along with my favorite word game... BANANA GRAMS! 

Spring 2011... This was my most trivial semester by far. I gained my testimony here and I had my best friend there to help me along the way. I would call Cat in the middle of the day or night and have questions and answers that I needed help with that no one else could understand but her. My Best Friend walked me through my most life changing experience, and helped me pray in search for answers I needed that would affect the rest of my life. Here is where I became eternally grateful for my best friend. 

Fall 2011... This is where we accomplished nothing of meaning except our friendship! :)
We became the adventurous/fun bunch. We had random weekend trips to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Cat would wait for me to get off work everyday so we could go have lunch together. Cat would come wake up after her date nights and tell me all about them, (because I had no dating life to share). She almost killed me/turned me into a science experiment by dying my eggs DARK BLUE for my birthday haha. She also lent me a shoulder to cry on after the most difficult break up in my life. (My only break up, nonetheless DIFFICULT!) And to top it all off we both failed classes together, dropping our GPA's to academic failings, but made the most EPIC music videos Idaho has ever seen! WHAAAAT UUUP!!!!

Winter 2012... haha... well... this semester tried mine and Cat's friendship.When you're in a room with someone 24/7 for 3 months, I don't care how much of best friends you are... you may want to smoother the other with a pillow at times! haha But I am glad those things occurred. All I know is that after that semester, and still being best friends, just shows how much we love each other! 

Spring 2012... although we did not room together this semester me and Cat remained really close. And during this time we added another person into our tight neat duo. Her soon to be hubby, Rodrigo Stabio. Our duo turned into a trio and I am pretty sure we sometimes drove our newest addition insane at times. But ya gotta know, when you start to fall in love/marry a girl, the best friends are included! ;)

Fall 2012... Present Day... I was scared that once Cat got married it would forever change our friendship. We would go separate ways and the love and friendship would be a great memory. But I have been blessed to find out that it has only become more awesome and fun! :)
We don't necessarily have "girls night" every weekend, or do our random music video shoots, or have dinner together every Sunday (even if it was just us two together), but we see each other daily... except for today cause we are both sick in bed! I have been blessed to be a little extended addition to her new family, receiving Priesthood Blessings from her husband, and being included in all the fun, even if it is with a bunch of married couples! haha I am grateful to know Heavenly Father has blessed my dearest friends life in abundance and that I have been by her side to witness it all. 

4. We are freakin' HILARIOUS!!!
   I don't care who you are. But when in the presence of me and my bestie you will come to find out life is quite grand and fun. The stuff that is said and gestures that are made, one might think we might be insane and rather odd. (I can say this because my family has even told me this!) Our inside jokes and sense of humor in general is quite funny! So please sign up and we would love to give you a show.. Its's kind of how we roll ;)





5. My Rock...
     I am grateful for my dear friend who at times told me "Stop" or "Shut Up" so I would come back to reality. And some of the most tender and merciful moments were when she didn't have to say anything at all but listen. Me and Cat both know the Lord had us cross paths on purpose. It is no coincidence we got roomed together our first semester. In some way we have taught each other important life lessons. Cat has been my rock at times when I felt like the world was caving in, from break ups to family trials, she has put up with it and has never once complained or told me to get over myself... (FALSE! She did say that once but I was being quite dramatic haha) Nonetheless she has been one of the most solid support systems, for all the drama in my life.

6. Grateful!
   I don't know if Cat will get to this point in the blog, cause it is rather long than intended, (but I'd hope so considering it is about her as well!!!!), but I want her to know how GRATEFUL I am for and the example she has set in my life. She led a path for me at times when I didn't know where to go. She showed me that I could actually be cool, and lighten up! I hope I have been a great friend in return for the blessings she has brought forth in my life. And I cannot waaait! for the next step in both of our lives and how we can gossip and annoy our husbands together! haha :)

Love You Cataract!
