my friend Cake! BFFL!

This is  my friend Kay Ward

or CAKE

*a nickname my Caitlyn gave her...

and it stuck!*

Cake is one of the most amazing and unconditional friends I've ever had.  She is really more like a sister than a friend to me.  I've known her for 20 years.  She married CJ's very good friend Craig Ward.  We have been through years of going out to dinner, girls trips, girls lunches, vacations, tri-races, ironman races, spa days, sad, happy and so on.  Most importantly (to me) is that she 'get's' me.  I'm introverted and a sketchy friend at best!  She is ok with that!  She has never let me down...EVER!

What makes Cake amazing is that she is an unconditional friend to everyone ... not just me.  I believe everyone thinks they are Cake's best friend!! Whether I'm her best friend or not, doesn't matter, because she treats me like I am.  I love her so much.

My favorite Cake memories are:
*Girls trips to Vegas...every time we 'vegas' it stays in vegas, enough said!
*Sitting on a beach, any beach...we judge other women and giggle, we hide quarters in the sand (a long story in itself!) and we laugh, talk and figure out life problems.
*She's completed an Ironman and had a killer time...under 14 hours...her first one!
*Watching her take care of Lisa Hoj...towards the end.  Brings tears to my eyes, Cake is so loving.
*Never "really" knowing what is going on in her life...because it's NEVER about her!!!
*Taking care of me after surgery...cleaning my house, grocery shopping, talking, etc....
*Cheesecake Factory (in whatever city)...mojitos ;]
*People watching...she is the best at it!
*Spa Day...any spa - any city...we're so there.
*Being sneaky...we can be SO sneaky, and it's fun!!
