My sweet friend Riley has a fun "Spotlight" featured on her blog every so often, where she posts about "something I love or a friend or something great." So I wanted to do a spotlight feature of sorts on my friend Hayley. A fellow Anteater (ZOT! ZOT!), I met her through a friend during our undergrad years at UCI and for a while she was only "Amy's friend, Hayley." But Hayley has become a cherished friend over the years and we've had many adventures together. We love museums, ancient history, reading books and having opinions about them, and drinking coffee together.


Her house, my house, church; over dinner, lunch, Golden Spoon or Starbucks; wherever it is, great conversation is effortless. Sometimes it's about jobs or boys, family or friends, the meaning of life, what happened last night, breaking a nail or breaking up. Sometimes it's at noon, sometimes at midnight, by e-mail or phone or face to face....it's always heart to heart.

I love you and you are making me cry! It doesn't take fortune teller to know that when we're 80 we will still be best friends and our passports will be full of stamps!

Your blog popped up on my Google Alerts today (I assume because my book, THE SUMMER OF NAKED SWIM PARTIES, is on your list of books), but can't resist telling you how sweet the photos of you and your friend are. So nice that you travel together regularly in spite of being "grown up," having families, spouses, etc. You're lucky to have each other as friends!
