Blog Challenge Day 7: My Best Friend

Day 7 of the Blog Challenge is a toughie...I have ALOT of best firends...no really I do and not just random people I call my best friend but REAL best friends. I have been very blessed to have several people in my life who would fit every single description of what a best friend is. So I am going to talk about ALL of them:) So I am going to put them in CHRONOLOGICAL order so no one fights over who I love more cause I love you ALL equally ;P

1. JONNY- Since Iwas born, my brother JONNY has been my best friend. He tortured me mercilessly at times but I adored him and we had so much fun together. All the way through college we still hung out and I even lived with him and his wonderful wife for a few years. He always knows how to make me laugh and put me in check when Im getting out of hand. I miss him and his family so much and wish we didn't live so far away:(

2. Kalani: We met in the 6th grade but didn't start hanging out until the 9th or so but she is my long lost twin sister :p We are so DIFFERENT but so much a like its CRAZY. She lives in ENGLAND and flew 24 hours to come and see me on our 31st Birthdays. I would almost move to England just to be able to sing Karaoke and shop with her every weekend. If it was a tropical climate I'd already be there ;)

3. Alii: We met in High School but got super close in College. I could take pages to describe our friendship but I will sum it up simply by saying that Alii has stuck by me and my husband through thick and thin. He has been there for my best and worst times and although we hardle see eachother...i know that I can call him day or night and he will be by my side!

4. Lisa: She has always been my older Sister/Mother but in the past few yeras, she has become my best friend. I know I can call her any time and tell her ANYTHING and she would never judge me. She gives me the best advice and has seen me through some major emotianl meltdowns:P LIke most of my list, she lives thousands of miles away but when we do get to see each other, it;s WONDERFUL.

5. Sara: Yes...Savannah's Mother SARA...is one of my best friends;P It's been a long road for us, but over the past three years, we have really grown to love each other and have become like sisters. Now that we are living together, we have had our friendship tested quite a bit but every road block that we hit just brings us closer together.

Okay I have a few more to list but have taken three days to write this much and want to get this posted already:P But I will do a follow up post later!

Once upon a time...

Mibi grew up in Laie and attended Kahuku High and Lee grew up in Haleiwa and Mililani and attended Mililani High. Mibi went to College at BYU-Hawaii and then served a mission in the Utah Ogden Mission before meeting the man of her dreams. After school, Lee jumped into the workforce looking for his career and eventually ended up working for Mibi's family flower shop at Turtle Bay while Mibi was serving her mission...and never thought that this job would lead him to his "Angel". We met in Septmeber of 2001 after I returned home from my mission. I came back to the flower shop to manage things for my Mom and Lee had left to pursue his education. Well a few months later, Lee's education path didn't take the direction he had hoped and instead life lead him back to Turtle Bay. The first thing he did was call Mom to get his job back and of course she said YES. So, I was Lee's boss and there was an instant friendship...it felt as if we had known each other our entire lives. We kept it strictly business for a few weeks and then one night I was gong to make a Wal-Mart run after work and called him to see if he wanted to come along. His phone was busy (the days before call waiting) and I almost gave up...but after a few more tries he picked up and from that night on we were inseperable. I think we told each other our life stories that night and we both knew then that our lives would never be the same! Over the next year, we formed a deep love and respect for each other which kept us connected through a few rough patches and across the ocean as Mibi moved back to Utah. Finally after a year of being best friends, we both realized that there is no one on earth we would rather be with than each other! We were a couple for about two years when Lee proposed to me and we tied the knot at the exact place we first met...the same hotel the flower shop was located when we worked there...TURTLE BAY. And to add to our JOY, we have a beautiful daughter Savannah (Lee's biological and Mibi's spiritual daughter ) who we just ADORE! She is so smart, funny, outgoing, a jabberbox like her Dad and just the cutest thing you have ever seen!!! We also are praying that we can give her a little brother or sister sometime in the next year or two!!! Until then we have a Doberman (Kayla) and a cat (Shadow) that we spoil rotten and of course all of our Nieces and Nephew's. It has been almost 8 years of wedded bliss and although we have had our ups and downs, each experience has made us grow more in love with each other and are still each others best friend!
