april and i met over a bag of Dolphins & Friends (think goldfish crackers shaped like dolphins & whales) and a shared eye roll directed towards the theater majors causing a ruckus in the arts building. we bonded through photography classes, and together we endured the ridiculousity that was abnormal psych. and that philosophy class we took. ooo, both philosophy classes we took. yeah. yikes. we spent three good years together in college, and i missed her dearly when she graduated.
when i got out a year later, and she said there was an opening at her office, i jumped at the opportunity. sure, i wanted a job in the design field, but i was really excited to get to hang out with april again. and as luck would have it, our job allowed us to hang out a lot. i mean, seriously, we spent a lot of time together over the next nine years.
and you know what? i'm not sick of her yet. ;) i miss her terribly. i miss seeing her five days a week. i miss her funny expressions and her balancing paper on her head. i miss her mad design skills and our bonzai design sessions (don't think, just do). i miss hearing about her weekends - you know, that small stuff that you don't really share unless you're sitting next to each other all day at the office. i miss photo days! and photo lunches! discussing color schemes. and web sites.
april's amazing. she's beautiful, she's talented, she's funny as all get out. she's an awesome shopping buddy. (i miss shopping trips!) and she's strong. probably much stronger than she gives herself credit for. and i love her very much.
