Best Friends Wedding...

In my life I have had 2 long time Best Friends. Both are getting married this year. The first wedding has already come and gone. This was my BFF Laurie. We met way back in Jr. High. At first I was totally annoyed by the girl, feelings were mutual. I thought she was Little Miss Perfect sporten her large BYU earrings and private school girl BYU uniform (not really, but it looked like it), she though I was this crazy, hyperactive girl who was on the border line of crazy. I think we both just gave each other the evil eye for the first while.

Long story short, we had a couple of classes together and one day The Beatles came up in conversation and BOOM! We became friends because of the same interest. After that we were hardly apart. We had a bit of a goofy relationship and loved creating stories about the Beatles and us hanging out and getting married. We even had a pretend wedding for Laurie and George one day. I could go on and on about our crazy adventures...

After graduation we decided to go to college and room together. Again, we went on more crazy adventures and here was where I learned how true our friendship really was. I loved having fun, but soon found myself in a bit of trouble. Laurie could see this and she wasn't about to stand back and watch. She warned me of the direction I was going and constantly kept an eye out for me. She constantly made sure I was staying away from anyone who would bring me down in life. It was because of her and her constant concern for me that I got through a rough spot in my life. She was my family at that time and since, I consider her a sister. I went through so many hard decisions at that time and she supported me in it all. Even since I have had to turn to her for major comfort and support on even larger trials that have come my way. She is the most amazing girl!

So enough of this mush, Laurie met this wonderful man away at school this year, where she was getting her masters. I was super excited to hear when they finally got engaged. With a little help from our friends we through an awesome shower with a "Naughty or Nice" theme. We had games planned, but hadn't seen each other for so long that we just bagged the idea and visited. It was super fun.

I was able to go to Laurie's wedding ceremony and it was beautiful. She looked amazing in her dress.

I just want to congratulate Clint and Laurie and let them both now how excited I am for them. I love you both and can't wait for your next visit so that we can get together again.
