Dear Bestfriends,

 Always And Forever...No Matter What

You are more than friends... you are my family. You ladies have been my best-friends since...well, forever. 

7th Grade-Trip to Logan

Danielle aka The First Lady of Madison County, we have know each other since we were practically babes. We actually were babes in the day;) Remember when you would sleep over and wake up hours before me and clean my room out of boredom! I loved you for letting me sleep and takin care of my business. Remember when we were in junior high and went to Logan for the weekend and totally had those college guys thinking we were 18 and we pierced your ears ( I think your mom still holds that one against me)? Or when we hung all of Todd's unders on the rafters in the basement and he practically flatten your newbies with his big fat boot? Or the fisherman's breakfast that ended in a truck rollover (that one was really bad:)) And then how cool was it to work together when we grew up? My best working years were in that ortho office with you and Dena. Who gets to go to work everyday and laugh the way we did? Oh, I miss that SO much. Oh, and the time I put your dog and your car up for sale because you tried to set me up with your cousin Richard!!!!!(Roy probably still holds that one against me) I will never forget the day you and Roy were sealed and the spirit that was in that room. You have always had my back. You have been a true friend to me for so many years. You turned me in when it must have been one of the hardest things you ever had to do because you loved me that much. We have never had the drama that a lot of friendships that began at the age ours did. We have just always had so much fun together and been able to be our silly selves. I love that I can come home and move right into one of your boys rooms and feel like I am home.

San Diego 1999

New Years 1998

Dena aka DeenerBeaner, you became my best-friend immediately. We were so young, weren't we? We started our friendship planning and adventure...we had known each other like a week and we had a trip to the big city planned. How many trips to Salt Lake do you think we have been on together?  Or the times that Salt Lake was just too far but we had to get away so we would go to Pocatello or even just Idaho Falls? We have probably had more sleepovers than most teenagers. You were my partner in everything...my four mile a day walking/bike riding partner, visiting teaching partner, egg roll fair selling partner, hair cutting/coloring/perming partner, grocery shopping partner, mall shopping partner, ding-dong-ditching partner, orthodontic assisting partner we spent almost everyday of our adult lives together until I moved to Minnesota. I have missed you and thought of you everyday since I moved here. You have seen me though everything, the good, the bad and the ugly(we'll call you know who the ugly). You know all my secrets and love my anyway. Your home and your family are my home and my family and I hope that you feel the same. 

My 30th

Jana aka Jana-Bo-Nana, you too became an immediate best friend. I remember us going to J.B's right after we met to have ice cream and talking until they kicked us out. I just fell in love with you that night. You too became an instant adventurer. Trips and weekend getaways are our specialty, aren't they? You took care me when I couldn't even lift my head and tucked me in with Evening Angels, you took care of my babies during my surgeries, you filled my home with boyds bears, you ran my business when I couldn't. You gave the real life mafia hot italian guy my home phone number and our room number (good things the FBI busted them in the lobby before we went to our room)!!!! He was hot though. Oh, and remember that beautiful dark man that tried to teach me to dance? You are a bit of a trouble maker... aren't you?! I will never forget the heartache I felt that day in Wendy's when you broke me the news that you were moving to Utah. You are the most fun a person can have! Your laugh makes me laugh HARD and fills my soul with happiness. 

Dena, Dani, and Jana, what makes the three of you my best friends is that we have always been friends...friends isn't even a strong enough word for what we are. You are my soul sisters, my forever and always sisters. Your husbands are also my best friends as well as my hero's and your children I love with my whole heart. I love that no matter how long it's been we can get right down to our unders and start right where we left off. I love that each of you know me like no one else does...I can say anything and do anything with the three of you...I am never judged only loved... I also love and appreciate how you all fell in love with Tom and included him instantly into our family. He is pretty darn easy to fall in love with, isn't he. I know of the love that the Lord has for me because he blessed me with each of you.
