I am very lucky. I live back in the town I grew up in. Two of my close childhood friends, Jami and Stephanie live within 20 miles. Steph actually is the one that introduced Marc and I! It is a great blessing to have them so close. Granted, I don't talk to them or see them near as much as I used to, we're all busy with kids, work, etc., but when we are together, it is like we never left off. I truly enjoy meeting new people, and making new friends. But, there is just a certain comfort and level of understanding with people that have known you forever. These girls have always been there for me. Through bad hair in the 90's to some of my best memories in high school, college, and beyond. They've seen me at my absolute worst, and they still choose to be a part of my life. ;)
So much has changed in the 13 years since we graduated high school, but one thing has remained the same. These girls are the best good old friends a girl could ask for.

| What a fun night! |
Shortly after the girls were born, Jami and Steph came to Wichita to see us. They gave me the bracelet below (of course Kade's name wasn't on it then). I could not think of a more perfect gift. Everything about it is perfect. This bracelet was a great comfort for me while the girls were in the hospital. It symbolized my sweet babies, so I felt like I had a piece of them with me, but it also was a reminder that I was loved by my friends and by God. The sentimental value of this bracelet is priceless. I wear it everyday.
Thank you girls, for always being there. Love you both!
