Besties

I've posted a few times about my dear friend Kristine here, and here, and here...there may be more as well. She came into town Memorial Day weekend and we were able to hang out.

She lives in Vegas and works as a PA. However, she was in town interviewing for a position in Ogden. Praying she gets it so she can move closer!!

We've been friends since High School days in Orchestra. She plays the Cello I played the Violin. We were in the same Singles ward after High School and had so much fun!

We've been besties ever since.

Anyway, so that weekend we decided to have Dinner at Rumbi and Red Mango for desert. YUM! It's always fun catching up with her. :)

While we were ordering at Red Mango (by the way my SIL, Brianna is the Manager at the Orem one - where we were) my parents walk in the door. Totally not planned. So funny!

So we chatted with my parents for a while until it was time to go - then we took some funny pictures. We're funny like that.

It's fun having a BFF like Kris. We realized we've been friends for about 19 years now, wow! She's fabulous!

Here are some pics of us over the years...  


After Rumbi and Red Mango...2012


 Friends in my apartment - 2002. (gosh I was so dang skinny back then). 
The dude in the middle of all these girls is her younger brother Jon. 



 I took this picture of her for my photography class while we were up in Park City one day shopping. 2002

HAHAHA! Oh my this one makes me laugh! We were doing our best flirty pose. I think Kris took it a little too far, and Michelle looks more disgusted than anything...LOL!
L-R: Brooke, Michelle, Kris, Me. 2003

All dressed up for our Singles Ward Halloween Dance. 1997. I had gotten back from China the year before, so we wore the dresses Erin and I had custom made over there.

Girls night out...I think 2007 or 2008...not sure.

Such fun pics. You saying 19 years made me start wondering how long Kristine and I have been friends. I'm guessing around 28 years. How is that possible?! Hope to see you both soon!

I love the pics & you, Shovelin' Shan! You're the best BFF ever! @Jaimi, it's been longer than that. We were in preschool together, & I sure wish I was only 32.

You're right, Kristine. I always forget that I didn't just graduate from high school. /:
