When I was five years old, my family moved to a new home in Conroe. Weeks after the move, I started kindergarten. I didn't know anyone at all. On the very first day of kindergarten, I saw a cute little girl with the curliest red pig tails you can imagine. That little girl became my best friend that day, and we never looked back. We had sleepovers, we went to the roller skating rink on Friday nights, we went to high school football games (her dancing on the drill team, me marching with the band), and we double dated to our senior prom. She stood next to me as my Maid of Honor on my wedding day, and this past Saturday, I was honored to return the favor as she said "I do" to the love of her life.

Sweet Caroline~This picture says it all. I will treasure every memory of your special day, but especially this precious moment we shared. The tender words and the tears will be locked in my heart forever. You have been part of me for nearly 30 years...I can't even remember a time that I didn't have you. You were every bit as beautiful on Saturday as I knew you would be. Thank you for giving me the great gift of YOU and sharing your day (and your life) with me. Here's wishing you and Lowell all the happiness you deserve! I love you.
