Yup, I did it. I jumped right on the same train that everyone else is aboard. I didn’t want to be left behind. All my fellow DIY/craft bloggers do printables for holidays, and I didn’t want to be the only one left out of the club. Especially since it’s the cool kids club.
I was always trying to get invited into the cool kids club, so while I waited, I had to live vicariously through my best friend/Homecoming Queen/girl all the cool guys wanted to date. In seventh grade (btw…she is going to roll her eyes reading this), my first ever boyfriend bought me roses for my birthday. I was finally coming out of the dorky, uni-brow/buck teeth stage, and finding my own in the “cool kids wear oversized Nike shirts and basketball shorts” stage. Clearly he thought I was adorable. We hadn’t even shared my our first kiss yet.
And we never would. 
Remember the much simpler world of three way calling? Yeah…I’m trying to forget it too. It forever ruined my life. Or just the end of seventh grade. Needless to say, my first ever boyfriend made a startling confession to my beautiful, yet-to-be Homecoming Queen of a BFF that he wanted to date her, not me. Looking back on the photos, I am not surprised. I definitely had a little of my own to grow into. And eyebrows that needed plucking (seriously mom, you couldn’t have given a girl a heads up?).
The good news is that he was just one guy in a short list of bad boyfriends that would disappoint me. If I hadn’t gone through all of those times, I might not appreciate my husband as much as I do.
And I really do. Especially when he does all the laundry. 
So please join my new “cool kids” club, so I don’t feel that uncool. I promise I pluck my eyebrows now, and I grew into my teeth a little. And for the record: my beautiful, Homecoming Queen of a BFF is still my BHQBFF, and always will be. She’s definitely invited to the club.
If, for some odd reason, you’re actually interested in the prints, you can print them here.

Dear MBEBFF,
While I LOVE your printables, I must chime in to confirm a slight eye roll for the story. You are the Most Beautiful Ever! So while a 7th grade boy may have thought that my unibrow and oversized eyeglasses look was something to be adored, I can assure you that you were FAR cutier. Arizona and Florida pictures prove it … You know what I’m talking about!
In honor of this blog, I must confess that I am lucky one to have the Most Beautiful Ever BFF … And more importantly, the best person in the world who knows exactly how to make me smile across states. It’s like a telepathy, or something. How does she do that so perfectly?!?
You continue to inspire and amaze me!
– your BFF 😉
Dear BHQBFF,
You are amazing and I love you!!!!!!!!!!!
Those are really cute! I love them.
I hated that three-way calling! My “best friend” used to insist we called the boy I had a crush on because I was too shy to do it on my own, and of course SHE was the one who ended up dating him. It lasted about a minute, since she was only interested in him because I was, but it didn’t make for a good time.
I’d rather have a cute St. Patrick’s Day printable, that’s for sure.
I guess it makes us old to know about three way calling, but back then it was the hot new thing. Kids these days probably roll their eyes at us. 😉
