I am so excited to write this post for a number of reasons:
1)It's Friday
2) I'm that much closer to being done with school
3) It's about my beautiful friend, Jess
Jess and I met in the Menswear program at FIT. She immediately stuck out to me as the sassy Latina chick with big hair. I instantly wanted to be her friend and as soon as that happened was dubbed the name Lil' Whitey by Jess and a few other we hung around with.
Jess was always full of smiles and explained to me all the things a girl should look out for in life. Boy problems, girl problems, city problems- you name it, Jess prepared me. She is an incredible multi-tasker- Girl was workin' it back in the day! School, a job, sewing homework and making time for family and friends.

...A BABY!
Her BF was also in the Menswear program with Jess and I. He wore glasses. I thought he was cool. I remember sewing my life away with him, he was impressed by my rap skills and surprised that I was singing the old stuff, (Nice and Smooth, NWA, older Beastie Boys, you knowwww.) Jess told me she thought he was cute. A lil' bit of Lil' Whitey's magic and they are two happy little clams, peas in a pod, the peanut butter to her jelly, the cookies to his milk... I think you get the point. Of course there is more to that story, but that story is their story, so I'll leave it for them to tell Matias someday!
They are going to be amazing parents and I am so excited to see their beautiful future together. I also can't wait to meet Matias! He is going to be the tall, dark and handsome type- look out ladies!
