I have a million memories with sweet Sadie Wells from our childhood! One of my favorites is when we were about 6 years old playing at my house. We were searching for something in my parents bathroom, and while we were looking, we left a bottle of nail polish on the edge of the bathtub. Somehow as we were searching, we bumped that nail polish off the edge and into the tub. It shattered, getting red fingernail polish all over the place. We were horrified! We ran out of that bathroom and found all the cleaners we could, but unfortunately nothing would clean it up. We decided that our only option was to run away from home!
We wrote a note to our parents, grabbed a jumprope, and felt that we needed to go down to my basement to climb out of the window to make our run away legit. We climbed out the window and started off down the street. We only made it to the end of the street when we decided that we really had nowhere to go and should probably go home to face the consequences. We ended up getting grounded, but the nail polish did come off, and our parents didn't hate us like we thought they would!
I feel like I could write a whole journal of things we did together back then, but mostly Im just so grateful she was in my life. I love Sadie Wells and always will! She was my first best friend and one that I will never forget.
