In lieu of my recent mom tangent, I purposely ommitted the most important, the Big Kahuna, the Top Best, the one that have paved the way for all…america’s sweetheart Ms. Meaghan Benjamin! The first time I met Meaghan, she hosted a dinner at her home in North Beach in hopes of getting to know one of her old friend’s – Shane – new girlfriend (me). They just moved back into the states, previously running their own bike tour in the lovely town of Florence, Italy. We instantly hit it off when we exchanged childhood stories and realized we were both products of a family of ten accessorized with a hefty catholic upbringing. How can one not be catholic with a family of that grandeur? The final component that fused us forever was our vexing for “powdered milk” (part of our staple growing up) that vividly affects us to this very day.
From that day on, I had been touched by the Megstar. It is because of this beautiful woman that our network of friends have flourished into a ridiculous size. It is because of her, we’ve been enlightened by the fabulous Minniti’s. It is because of her, we have been blessed with the Grundman’s. It is because of her, that I can balance work and family life without the guilt of not being a stay at home mom. It is because of her, that Angela and I helplessly pee in our pants when we think of South Beach, Miami. Although she has left us for Chicago, the distance is a mere “skype” away.
On April 11, 2008, Megstar made way for her first baby boy! That’s right a healthy Elias James Benjamin 9lb. 9 oz. After a sprint of three girls, she has broken the dash for girldom. Next to my own mom, Meagan comes pretty close to the perfect mom. Besides her bubbly and magnetic personality, one can not help but to look to her for wisdom and advice. I am overjoyed to have a friend that is uniquely rare in magnificence!
