The third Supahstar is Amy from What Ever I Feel Like.

Amy and I go way back to like 1997, where I first met her on a moms message board. She actually didn’t even live in the United States like she does now. She lived in Turkey with her husband Rob, and two young boys, Connor and Aric. Rob was in the military and Amy was a SAHM looking after her children, and playing online.

I instantly made friends with her because she talked a lot about music and she was one of the regular moms on the music topic thread. She had a deep passion for U2, Bono in particular, so we meshed well together. Not soon after we became ICQ buddies and we would talk into the wee hours of the night after we put our boys, even the big ones, to bed.

As all message boards seem to go, people leave mad, someone upsets someone, and the cliques start to form within the group. We kind of lost track with one another during that time although I still read her blog faithfully everyday. There were times I wanted to comment so bad, but I wasn’t sure how well it would be received, so I just sat back and watched her face all her troubles head on and become the strong woman she is today. Gosh, that made me tear up a bit writing that and remembering how badly I wanted to tell her how proud I was.

Okay…deep breath…moving along.

I went through some major changes in my life, and I had to leave the internet just for a bit to regroup and regain myself again. I still blogged, and I still emailed, but I stayed as far away from message boards as I possibly could. Then PayPerPost came along, and we reconnected once again, and almost instantly started up right where we left off.

She has become this amazing woman, with the strength and courage to battle anything life throws at her. She had given me some great advice along the way, and calmed my nerves when I thought I was just going to snap. It’s been really nice reconnecting with her again.

Gosh, this wasn’t suppose to be about me, now was it. Amy is the Supahstar here! I was just pointing out why she is a Supahstar to me always, and not just on Saturdays.
