Day 2 Photo Challenge

Post a picture of you and the person you've been closest to the longest...



This is one of my best friends Danielle. She and I have been friends since first grade, and my first memory of her and I was in that first-grade classroom. We were sitting next to each other, and I had brought a stuffed bunny and she was wearing a hair bow. She and I put her bow on my bunny's ears and were playing with it when we got in trouble for not paying attention to the teacher, and the bow and bunny were taken away from us for the rest of the day. I remember at recess after that, Danielle was crying and telling another teacher about it. My bunny and her bow were returned to us at the end of that day :)

Danielle and I have grown up and gone through a whole lot together. Though we are quite different in a lot of ways, we've always been there with and for each other throughout all the ups and downs of crushes, broken hearts, first kisses, turning points, and school triumphs.

Danielle, if you're reading this, I'm so glad you're my friend and look forward to many more years of friendship. Thanks for everything you've done for me and for being there for me through thick and thin! :)

Erika you are such an amazing friend! I love you! I have so many great memories with you. Getting in a fight over some crackers, having chocolate fights in your kitchen, crying with you on the phone because we were both so homesick, and watching you get engaged!!!! you the best friend anyone can ask for! For that I will always love you!
