That's What Friends are for?

Okay, I have this really wonderful friend named Jana...she's kinda awesome.  Let me provide you with a very brief explanation of the start of our wonderful friendship that eventually blossomed into sisterhood (wow...that was quite poetic...if I do say so myself).


My first semester at UT, I enrolled in this Nutrition class that I needed to take to get my degree in nursing.  I guess it wouldn't have been that bad of a class...if my professor wasn't a total...loony?  Yea...there was something not right about her.  Anyways...sometime during the beginning of the semester, at the end of the class period...I heard someone yelling out my name.  Here I am thinking "I'm pretty sure I don't know anyone in the class." But then I made eye contact with Jana, who was waving furiously across the room and I cautiously waved back...thus, the start of our friendship. Mind you, I already met Jana a couple of times before this incident (she was friends with my roommate, Amanda...who is another wonderful person).  I think at this point, we were both glad we weren't going to suffer alone in this class.


Long story short...we became acquaintances, then friends, eventually roommates...and somewhere along the way, she became my sister...from another mother...with a darker color ;-)


Okay, now that we have the (abridged) history of our friendship...lets get to the reason why i'm mentioning her in my blog (I've already told her I was going to do this...sort of).  


Jana has the greatest of hopes that I will one day marry an Asian man so I can provide her with full Asian babies.  Yes, you read that correctly...Asian babies...


It's not that I don't like Asian men...it's just that most of the time they look like Asian BOYS...like 12 year old boys...and that just creeps me out. 


Anyways...I gently let Jana down, telling her that her dream of one day that I will find an Asian man and settle down with him and provide her with Asian babies will probably not happen.


Until this past summer...


While I was still getting over my jet lag from my Mediterranean cruise...I stumbled upon this cutie while watching a sushi/blue fin tuna documentary on Vanguard (go figure).

His name is Adam Yamaguchi.


Throughout the whole documentary, I couldn't help but think "Hey...he's pretty cute." And then a crush eventually developed...


And a couple of months later...after late night boredom on Youtube...I found our (hypothetically/futuristically) 4 kids...


Ladies and gentlemen...I would like to introduce our twin boys:

And our two little girls:

Yup...those are going to be my future kids one day....


Jana is probably going to shoot me when she sees this...or laugh.


All kicks and giggles aside...Jana is really a wonderful person and I honestly don't know what my 4 years at UT would be like if we didn't meet each other (I guess I have to thank my very first roommie for introducing us).


You'll probably read a lot of our antics in this blog...especially when I feel nostalgic.


Until next time!
