There also is the matter of having my dear friend Mandi, whom I have known literally all of my life. Our parents were best friends and kind of shared raising rights with all four of us (me and my brother and her and her brother). We grew up together; she babysat me for years; I was her mini-me and followed her everywhere she went and copied everything she did; when she got her ears pierced I wanted to get mine pierced, etc. She is really more like my sister then anything. That title really is the only one that seems to fit our relationship. Mandi and her husband, Greg, moved to Chattanooga right after they got married 7 years ago and it was really hard to see her go. So being back near her makes Chattanooga look even better! Man I miss that woman :) This brings me to...
# 9 ~ My "Niece" Caitrin...
Mandi's precious daughter, Caitrin, who is turning 2 tomorrow! (Happy birthday Baby Girl! I love you!) This kid is literally the cutest thing you will ever see in your entire life and living in the same city as her and being able to have tea parties and play in the pool and watch birds outside with her whenever I want would be the coolest thing ever!! Last but definitely not least...
# 10 ~ My "Niece" or "Nephew" on the way...
Just this weekend Mandi announced to the whole family that she is pregnant!!! They say many hands make light the work and that being the case I want to be close to offer mine whenever they are needed.
There you go. Now you see why Chattanooga is my favorite city ever! So here's praying I find a job
