Where to begin? Chris is, well,....she is interesting in a crazy sort of way. In some ways, Kierstyn reminds me of Chris--so full of life, so social, so LOUD--pretty much the polar opposite of me. I guess if opposites attract, that's why Chris and I were such good friends. Chris and I have been friends forever it seems. We knew each other in elementary school, played on travel soccer teams together, spent all our free time in High School together,...heck, we even went to the same college! I wanted to dig up some really scary pictures from Ms. Morton's 6th grade but that album must still be at my mom's....This one'll have to do. I think this was our Junior year, circa 1992. It's funny--looking at the picture of us on yesterday's post, I don't think we've really changed all that much. Except we don't wear white pantyhose anymore.
Chris and I were best friends in High School. We took photography class and Childcare class together, rode around countless hours in that Chevy Cavalier (is that what kind it was?), soccer trips out the wazoo,...we were there for each other through boyfriend breakups and prom mishaps, took trips to Birmingham, Ootelwah, and Destin (for Senior trip), and oh, I can't forget writing our New Years Resolutions together every year--they are so funny to look back on now! We were both nominated for Homecoming Queen our Senior year. Don't we look pretty?
Here we are at our HS graduation. 
We both went to UT Martin for college (I stayed 2 years before transferring; she graduated from there). We each had our own circle of friends but we stayed friends as well. Somehow no matter where we've lived, we've managed to keep in touch and I love to get together when we're both in the 'Boro. Chris is a wonderful friend and a wonderful mom. My life has been blessed by having her in it.

How fun! And pretty y'all are :)
OH MY GOODNESS!! You look the exact same! That is kind of nauseating you know, but I love you enough to still like you. :) And I always thought your K looks just like you, but it's really Kyler that's your twin. SO cute to see that.
And how special close and lasting friendships are! Now I feel the need to make a call... Thank you.
Sweet!
"They" say you only have one, maybe two, real friends in life and Chris is a good one to have and keep. Thanks for the trip down memory lane of what I remember. So fun ~ makes me laugh and teary at the same time. You have certainly exceeded growing old (NOT REAL OLD, yet) gracefully. Beautiful friendship, beautiful girls!!!!!!
Love the old pictures. The second to last one is K fast forward! Good friends are the best!
Looks like you had a great time on vacation with your sweetheart, and how fun to see your friend and catch up. I love he picture of you and Kelly in the mountains, you look so in love!
I thought the same thing of the picture you guys just recently took. You guys look the same!! You are even posed on the same side. :) Very fun!!
I love the pictures. It brings back fun memories for me too. Did you take pictures of her girls because I would love to see them.
That is neat that you have kept in touch. You both look just as pretty in yesterday's post as you do in today's.
That's pretty cool that y'all have kept a great friendship. That can be hard to do sometimes :) Looks like y'all had fun on your trip and looove the pretty pics and I do have to say that Virginia is Heaven on earth as far as beauty goes!
It takes a good friend to be a good friend. That is great that you BOTH have taken the time and effort to stay friends after so many years!
Who says I don't wear white pantyhose anymore? Is that a problem??:)
I love you! I loved seeing you and your cute hubby!
