1. We know each other so well; we can be completely comfortable and real with each other, no matter how long it's been since we've seen each other.
2. When I was pregnant freshman year and hot all the time and wanted the windows open in November, Paula would just put on another sweatshirt and not complain at all.
3. She has an amazing capacity for forgiveness.
4. She gave me a card about becoming little old ladies together when we were having a huge argument. She also made me an awesome card with a frog on it that I would scan and display here if it wasn't at my parents' house.
5. She's from Iowa.
6. She is really good with kids and has endless patience (with both kids and adults).
7. She does her best to live a Godly life, but doesn't judge you when you don't.
8. In college, Paula was a morning person and I was not. She would try SO hard to be quiet in the mornings and not wake me up. I would wake up anyway and be extremely grouchy about my sleep being interrupted. But looking back, it was so sweet the way she would try to tiptoe around and not make any noise.
9. She watched me make a lot of mistakes and loved me anyway. We both went through a lot in college; it was not an easy time for either of us.
10. She is funny and practical and perceptive and tells it like it is.
I love her dearly, and I think she is right- we will be old ladies together. Or as together as you can be when you live a few thousand miles away.
