Getting to know your family & friends

shoes, probably some dresses that the girls have pulled down

25. Who is the friend you have had the longest that you are sending to?
I'll say... Analee. Mom and Katelyn are up there, too but I've known A longer than K -- and mom and I really became 'friends' (from mother/daughter) around the time I had G. Something about the trip to Hood from Leonard Wood that shifted our relationship -- and it has been so fun knowing my mom as a friend -- though I still treasure her advice as my mom.
