Anna Begins

I had another blast from the past last night. I had dinner with my old friend Anna and her boyfriend Simon. She moved back to Sweden four years ago. Here are some of my favorite Anna memories:
· We stayed together in Fort Myers during Hurricane Charlie- and were so nervous that we started drinking at 9am and ended up passing out as the actual hurricane was blowing through
· We went to Prive in Miami and our feet hurt so bad by 12pm that we just sat on a bed in the club for the rest of the night
· For my birthday – all of my friends were out of town. Anna’s parents were visiting from Sweden so she had spent the day with them- they came home at 9pm and had a cake, flowers and champagne for me and they sang Happy Birthday to me in Swedish.
· One Halloween I had to pull Jen and Anna off the stage because they were too drunk to realize they didn’t win the costume contest (in their defense- they were TOTALLY robbed!)
· When we lived in Fort Myers- Anna and I drove every weekend to Naples to dance while listening to Gwen Stefani the whole way
· One night Crystal, Anna and I had a girl’s night at home and we ended up telling all of our secrets to each other- there was a knock at the door and this lady told us that our sliding glass door was open and that everyone in the neighborhood could hear everything we were saying!
· On her last night in Florida we went to Orlando and ran into all of our Naples friends.
· I made her wait and hour by the dolphin pool at Sea World so that I could touch a dolphin
· Calling Anna “Anna Begins” after my favorite Counting Crows song.




** Those are just a few- I can’t wait to hang out with her again on Saturday!
