10. She's been my friend since the 4th grade at Apollo Elementary School! Now, that's been a long time ago. And she's still my friend! (The early 80s~ when we wore "Lovit" jeans and Farrah hair)
9. In 5th grade, we were in the same homeroom. We had Mrs. Ernesto, and I have our class picture on the side of my desk at school. Dee Dee was in Mrs. E's class, too. (My classes love finding their teachers in that photo!) We wore our rabbit coats and thought we were all that!!!
8. We went to Greenacres JUNIOR High together! We were Mustangs in Mrs. Ray's American History class! English with Mama Moose!(Mrs. Maples)
7. We went on to Airline to become Vikings! Lori is the reason that I'm spending my Tuesday afternoons learning Spanish after teaching all day! When we took Spanish at Airline, I didn't learn too much! Lori was in my class, and our teacher (who shall remain nameless) didn't like perfume because it bothered her allergies. One day Lori decided she wasn't in the mood for Spanish so she took a perfume sample out of her purse and crushed it into the floor. Then she smeared it around the room. When our nameless teacher arrived, she politely confessed that she had "dropped" some perfume out of her purse and it spilled onto the floor. Lori wanted her to know so she could leave promptly before her allergies got to her! How sweet!! The nameless teacher left to go visit with "Rambo", the principal, and we got to visit with each for the rest of the class period!
6. We were/are the same height, size, hair color, even the same hair texture! We have BIG Hair! (Well, Lori had some big hair before she shaved it. She has more hair than any bald person I've ever seen before! And when it grows back~ it may get bigger!) We completed for the title, "Biggest Flirt"! Not sure who won, but it was a tight race! People were probably confusing us! Double Trouble!
5. We attended LA Tech University and became BULLDOGS!! Go DAWGS!!!
4. She is smart! LOL! So smart that she came back to Bossier Parish to teach elementary school. Now, finally, we are together at the same wonderful school, Legacy Elementary.
3. She can get into my dirty car or come into my dirty house, and I don't care!! I know she loves me whether my car is clean or my house is spotless. Now that's a great friend!
2. She taught my youngest son 3rd grade!!! I think he may love her more than me!???! Oh dear!
1. She is my heroine!!!! She's been through and is still going through her some tough chemo treatments, and every time I see her she has a genuine smile on her face! That smile, that glow, can only come from her faith and relationship with the Lord! What a witness she truly is to God's goodness!!! Whether she's counting my tshirt order for FCA or running our papers for the next week, she has a joy and peace that attracts others to her and ultimately to Him. WOW!
So HAPPY BIRTHDAY LESLIE!!!! YOU REALLY ARE A ROCKSTAR!!! HAVE A GREAT DAY!!! BRING ME SOME CAKE! I love ya!
