Same

Isn't it funny when two people decide to get married...
families and people that have never met,
or at least never would have met other wise...
meet and become instantly close.

This is Liz (in the middle) standing between her fiancees mother and her own.
Liz and her groom live states away.
But both mothers, having only me once before...
have become instant friends.
They even text each other.

I have been friends with Liz since I was 12.
Gangly, awkward... preteens.
Trying out new lip gloss and mascara for the first time.

We worked at her dad's veterinary clinic together.
Chatted with boys on the phone after hours.
Drank hot cocoa and talked about dresses for dances.

Now she is in another time zone I miss her a lot.
But she came home for the weekend...
to celebrate her wedding next month.

I planned a little party.
Nothing fancy...
just a few family and friends.

Shower

Cake and treats...

We chatted...
discussed dresses and shoe colors.
Looked at earring choices and drank lemonade.
Talked about husbands and future husbands.

Some things remain the same.

PS - I chopped my hair off... I think I like it.

Congratulations to your beautiful friend! Exciting stuff ahead. And your party looks lovely. And, yeah, I think I LOVE your hair.

Also, I bought the dress you're wearing to take to Austin and had to return it because it was just all kinds of wrong on me. Now I know how it's supposed to look! You're a little cutie, Nessa.
