An amazing best friend...

You were my very first best friend.

I still remember your phone number from when we were 3, because I begged to be able to call you each day. 485-3857! I can't believe your mom just changed it! How do you change a phone number after 37 plus years!

Bathing at grandpa Bodell's cabin. I know it sounds crazy, but I swear I remember this! Jumping in and out, running around.

You were always the one I wanted to play with, the one I shared every secret with.

Lots of singing and dancing...

Brown reunion when we were 8 - What's More American

Kids Are Music - 12 years old! The year of Mike Feil!!

Preppies Softball team. Green and Hot Pink. I hated EVERY MINUTE of it! I am soooo not a softball girl. I did like the cute shirt though.



We were more sisters than cousins. I am thankful daily for example in my life! You helped me become the person I am today.

First day of academy!!! Some of my favorite memories were made during our seven years of summer academy.

Disneyland... through the years!

And now our children get to have each other. I am so thankful for forever families!
