My best friend since kindergarten, Lauren, got engaged on the 4th of July. I was so excited for her when I got a text message of a hand with a beautiful ring on it telling me that my "La" was engaged. Although I had been asking and expecting it for months now, it totally took me by surprise. And it made me remember all of the times we shared together....
tying our identical (put different colored) coats together in recess.
making up dance routines to "come on ride the train" in mamaw's front yard.
twirling batons together on livingston hill.
making up absurd videos including "candy and katrina's workout video".
riding four wheelers by the carpet shack.
getting sunburned and watching the fireworks at MacFarland on the 4th of July.
getting smashies for/with mamaw.
making pallets on the floor every night with the turtle quilt.
eating pancakes on sunday mornings.
putting water balloons in our bathing suits and jumping on the trampoline.
sliding down the stairs into my basement and putting a whole in the wall.
being co-captains of the majorette squad.
listening to sweetness in starlight and crying as we knew we were leaving for college.
living a few doors down our freshman year of college.
being there for the heart break when the boyfriends were gone-thank goodness.
being there when the husband was found.
So naturally, I might have cried when La handed me this today:
My simple joy for the day: being asked to be the maid of honor in my best la's wedding. Love you, la!
Yeah! :) So happy for you!! You will have so much fun :)
