Wow the big 17! Most of you have heard me mention Brandon (Smats) and today is his birthday. If you've read any of the "single thoughts" here on my blog, most of them are right out of Brandon's mouth. =] Smart kid for being so young and could teach quite a few people about how to be a friend - he's teaching me. Yep, he's one that I've "adopted" into our family - since he fits right in with the bdays and if he was 2 months early - he could actually be mine - LOL - he's just a little TOO tall.
As with anyone else in my life I had to give the people I have affection for "nicknames". I have Isha, Boo, Isa, Deano, Bug, Ivie, Beck, Kim, Bobs and BranD(pronounced Brandy). LOL yes I tried to spell it correctly and got in trouble because that's a girls name - he wouldn't accept that it's an expensive beverage - LOL.
I met "Smats" (I won't list all the alts - he has a TON) on YPP Hunter ocean August 2007. We were in the same flag, different crews but in officer training together. I couldn't actually tell you how we became friends but I can tell you that I'm glad we did. We have had many educational, interesting- late night chats, many fun and wealthy pillages and even though we don't play on YPP much right now, we have a great crew and flag together now also.
I'd love to put a pic up but he won't let me - stinker - so you only get Gris and Smats. When you count your blessings and say your prayers, be thankful for your friends - old and young. Chance meetings sometimes produce some of your best friends. Thanks Bran - Have a great Birthday!
