**Song must-haves (3-4 max)**

We LOVE Bon Jovi!! Any fun Bon Jovi references would be amazing :)

We’re so happy we are still close friends after all these years

Amy has the BEST sense of humor and is always making us laugh

Amy’s catch phrase is “Wait, no, what??” She’d love it if that made it into the song somewhere :)


**Your relationship story**

The three of us met in junior high and became besties over Bon Jovi (all the 80’s hair bands). We were always having a sleepover at one another’s house staying up all night watching MTV and Headbangers ball. 

Amy (our friend who the song is for) -  moved back to WA from VA in the 10th grade. We stayed close writing letters and occasional visits until after college and we were all married and had children (and more $).  We committed to an annual girls weekend somewhere in WA, VA or TX. Trips included sightseeing, movies, belly laughs & reminiscing about our younger years.  

Amy has always been the linchpin of our friendship and the core motivator for our ability to stay in contact throughout the years. She was the main “scheduler” for all of our crazy trips and antics :)

Amy is kind, has a great sense of humor, super fun, supportive, and all kinds of other great things. Just having her around makes us giggle like we’re back in high school :)


**Favorite things to do together**

Twilight movies in Seattle 

Annual Girls weekend in (usually in November). We all leave our families and travel somewhere

Bon Jovi concerts together  


**Favorite memories together**

Countless sleepovers/phone calls growing up, going to Bon Jovi or Motley Crue concerts back in the day.  

Our Twilight movie marathon and Breaking Dawn Premier in WA with a road trip to Forks WA to tour the book location. 

Meeting her husband Steve & infant son Riley. 

Coffee and hot chocolate—Always!  

Finding keepsake reminders of our trips, (rocks from La Push beach, coffee mugs from small towns). 

Trying to drive a stick shift in WA at 16 blaring Nelson  “Can’t live without you”, or riding the Big Bad Wolf at Busch Gardens singing “Wanted Dead or Alive”  at the top of our lungs. 

Fish market and duck tour in WA. 

Always picking up where we left off regardless of time or distance. 

Knowing we’re always there for each other.  

Timeless precious memories
