Three

As most of you know, Tami had a deep love of all things Taco Bell.  This was a lifelong love, not just something that she took up as a teen.  As a young girl she dreamed of one day owning a fast food restaurant named "Tami's Tacos."  I guess you could say that it was a relationship started out of convenience. Taco Bell was the only fast food restaurant that we were allowed to ride our bikes to because it was the only one on our side of 28th street, well that is except for Long John Silver's, but let's be for real here, we were not going to ride our bikes to LJS.  I remember going through so much trouble to get Tami her taco bell.  During the summer, while mom & dad were working, I was left to "watch over" Todd & Tami, which with Tami usually meant going out of my way to make sure she was happy because if she wasn't she would make the rest of us miserable, she always got her way.  So, if Tami didn't like what we had in the house for lunch, we would (and by we I mean Todd & I doing all the work) return pop bottles to get money, and then go to taco bell.  We get as much as we could for the few bucks we had from pop cans, and chores and sit there in the AC and eat lunch (we didn't get central air until I was in college).  So, anyways, there we would sit, Todd, Tami, whichever friends happened to be over that day, and me, eating taco bell.  I am surprised we don't all weigh 300lbs with all the taco bell we ate as kids!  Tami loved taco bell from a very early age, and now I will never be able to eat it without thinking of her.  I think that we should make it a tradition to get together every year on October 13, eat taco bell and listen to bieber <3
