My Sarah is getting married!

Tomorrow, my best friend is getting married.  Sarah has been my best friend since 8th grade when she moved here.  I remember the first time I met her when she came to summer basketball camp and I thought to myself, "We are going to be best friends".  That was that.  And that was before I even knew she loved crafting!  Ha!

sunburned BABIES....

I know how lucky I am to have such a close friend.  We have been through many things in our more than 15 year friendship. I am so happy that she is getting her happy ending.  She deserves it more than anyone I know.  

Some fun facts about my Sarah!  

1.  She is a very terrible driver.  TERRIBLE.  She rear ended me in high school and I had to take her home because her car needed to be towed.  I, to this day, RARELY ride in the car with her.  She knows to just hop on in my jeep.   

2.  She doesn't forget anything, ever.  This is awesome and totally annoying at the same time.  We all know to just ask Sarah if we can't remember when something happened or who we were with or whatever.  And she isn't scared to bust you out if she remembers an embarrassing detail about you.  She really enjoys it actually.  

3.  She and I pretended to be lovers at a wedding one time.  I could leave it at that but I feel like I need to explain a little.  There was a random older guy and he WOULD NOT leave me alone and just didn't seem to get the picture.  I finally told him I was there with Sarah, grabbed her hand and kissed her on the cheek.  We held hands the rest of the reception and danced our booties off.  He left me alone after that!  

4.  She is an excellent trash talker.  Maybe this is because she is so sweet and you don't expect those things to come out of her mouth, but seriously, she can talk shit with the best of them.  She is very competitive (we all are) so this talent of hers get used quite frequently...especially during football season.  

5.  She is the strongest person I know.  She has been through some major stuff yet has never become negative or cynical.  She carries herself with grace and everyone who knows her loves her and her happy personality.  

I could go on and on with silly things about her and the crazy things we have gotten into but that would be boring for you guys.  Basically, I just want y'all to know how awesome she is.  She has ALWAYS been there for me when I needed her.  When I started to freak out right before my wedding (because of all the people..not the actual marriage!) she stripped me down, made me take off my spanx so I could breathe and poured a glass of champagne down my throat.  When we secretly did our FET last December she did everything for the Christmas party that I had already planned at my house so I could be on bed rest.  When I had Blakely she set up a dinner delivery so I had meals brought to me for months.  She is the best.  Like for real.  

I still smile every time I think about how we used to "cruise" in town with our music (probably MASE) turned up way loud and singing/rapping at the top of our lungs.  Wait, maybe we still do this?  Anyway, she is getting married tomorrow.  This makes me super happy because she definitely found her match.  He loves her and appreciates her like she should be appreciated.  He is a good one, no doubt.  

And wish ME some luck getting my sweet girl to walk down the aisle and then be quiet during the ceremony.  The rehearsal tonight didn't go so well.  She may scream NO MOMMY the whole time but at least she will be cute!  It is going to be a crazy fun time!  Happy weekend!
