Meet Rebecca

Rebecca and I aren't alike in a lot of ways. To be honest if I met her at a party out just in passing I am not sure I would have ever talked to her again because we are so different. Rebecca is very girly...she is into fashion and trends. She loves to pamper her self with manicures and pedicures. She is always looking for the best skin care products and hair products and I am none of those things. I am not fashionable at all. Usually, I am wearing last seasons or even two seasons ago fashions because they were on the clearance rack and I only buy clothes if they are on sale and most importantly if I don't have to iron them. She dry cleans :) I like manicures and pedicures but I don't do them regularly enough only on special occasions when I want to fee fancy! I do take care of my skin but I use a cleanser and moisturizer because its quick and easy and my hair is washed but never has any product in it! Also, I tend to get along with men better as friends because I am "say it like it is" kinda gal....and girlfriends usually find me to forward because they feel words not think them through like men. Even to this day Rebecca feels my words first and I am usually in trouble over them....but some how we figure it out.

Luckily with Rebecca, I was forced into working with her and traveling with her. When you travel with someone you learn a lot about their habits and likes and dislikes. You also learn a lot about them as a person because your usually at the airport together killing time and then lunches and dinners are spent together. There is A LOT of togetherness in travel.

During one of our first trips Rebecca and I found ourselves sitting on a patio for lunch talking about life. We started to talk about the usual where things people start with to get to know each other.... where we were from....sibilings....husbands...she even asked if we had children. It would have been the perfect time for me to talk to her about it but I was still sizing her up on if I could trust her so I didn't mention it. I did figure out during that lunch that Rebecca was funny. She made me laugh. She was animated in her story telling and when I say animated I don't just mean hand movements...this girl tells a story with her whole body. She will even stand up to make sure you get the full effect...she loved being a clown and I loved laughing with her. It was a friendship in the making no matter how different we were. I didn't know it was God working....I didn't know how much I would depend on her in the future....but what I did know was we had a good time together and I wanted to get to know her better.
