Ok, I (Greg) know by posting this next picture it's going to start a birthday blog war, and I can't imagine what picture Melissa is going to post of me for my next birthday... Who knows. My birthday is in February so hopefully she'll forget by then! Here's a little bit about Melissa.
For years, Melissa hated me. I don't really know why, but she did. She blamed her crashing her car on me. Of course, I did miss the bus that day, and she wasn't going to school that day... but I wasn't behind the wheel was I? It's okay though, I won her Counting Crows tickets and she eventually forgave me. She even got a BRAND NEW JEEP out of the whole thing. I still don't understand how she was the only sibling to get a new car out of my dad...
Like I said we hated each other... I mean... she hated me... so much so, that we couldn't go on shopping trips together without making sure the other knew "this is my trip with mom... so I get the front both ways."
One thing we had in common was that we both hated going to school, and both loved watching Days Of Our Lives while staying home from school. BUT, we couldn't both be home from school at the same time and watch Days of Our Lives, without Melissa being pissed.
Melissa use to hate when Johnny and I would watch out the window and yell out "HEY MELISSA!!" as she was being dropped of by dates.
Whats really funny, is one day, Melissa and I became best friends. I don't know why, but I don't care. I think it was because when we were both living in Utah, and my mom wasn't around, we had nothing to fight over. No trips with mom, no days off school to spend with mom, no mom to watch Days of Our Lives with. So my only guess is mom was the one that turned us against each other. JUST KIDDING MOM! (I know you're going to read this and freak out!)
Anyways, I know this is getting long, but I just want to let Melissa know how much it means to me that her and I became friends. If I ever have a problem or need someone to talk to she is always there. I'm so glad that we had the chance to live together while away from home, because if we didn't, who knows she may have never forgiven me for the car she crashed!
I hope you have an awesome birthday Melissa!
