Five years ago today, through our mutual friends Kristin and Tara Lynn, I met Laura Allison at an Election Watch Party. (I typically remember dates and details, but that event makes this one especially easy to remember.) I immediately knew I liked her when she turned to me and said, "I really agree with your thoughts on that subject," and I looked at her with confusion because I hadn't really said anything about it, to which she said, "Oh, I guess I should inform you I've been reading your blog!" =) ...So even though the election didn't end well for us, I look back on that night with joy and good memories! :)
I am so very thankful to have met Lauralai Allison, and for all the fun and laughter and quirks and deep discussions and walks and races and ridiculous pictures and memories through the last five years!! She's been my friend through thick and thin (...a little pun intended.) ;) We've become known as "the other BFF" or "the local BFF" with each other... (but I guess I can drop the adjective at this point). Truly, she is my closest friend, and I'm grateful for her kindness, encouragement, trustworthiness, sense of humor, and the heart connection between us!
So HAPPY FRIEND-IVERSARY, Lauralai Allison!
...I look forward to our "Tinfinity Party" in five years! ;-)
Love you!!
