My Twin from Another Mother

I have some amazing friends and so I don't want any of you to think that I don't absolutely love all of you and appreciate all of you. I am so very blessed for the people that surround me. It is one of the things I am most grateful for in my life.

With that being said, the day that Laura and I met we knew that we would be best friends, many people thought even that first day that we were sisters. She lovingly referred to me all through college as her secretary. We had many people in the early days refer to us as the other one and a few guys thought that we were twins. I swear our bowling teacher still didn't figure out there was too of us. One guy even took me out thinking I was her. She dated Erik before I did. I also dated Kelly. So the fact that we are still best friends through all of that is amazing. This is not to say we haven't had our rough times. But we have always been able to work through things. We always have relied on each other.

While Laura was down this weekend she took family photos. They are still in the editing stages and will be posted soon. They are too cute and there is way too many to just pick one or two. Although while we were taking photos Laura commented that the two of us don't have any photos together since college. One or the other of us is usually behind the camera. Thank you Erik for taking these photos.

Because I have so many dear friends, new referrence to Laura is my twin from another mother. Erik has always referred to her as my twin. We always thought we would have been sisters but neither one of our mothers could have handled both of us. Laura thank you for always being there even at 2 or 3 in the morning. For always knowing when I need you and for dropping everything to help me no matter what. For spending a week taking care of my family when I was too sick to get out of bed, and for making me get out of bed when I didn't think I could. Thank you for15 wonderful years and many more wonderful things that you have done for me.
