BFFs!
See the uneven edges?
I am getting SO old! It is So weird! Not only am I married, as are many of my other friends, but I now have a girlfriend on a mission! 21! How did it get here so fast? Anyhow, I got together with my circle of best girlfriends from high school to have a little bon voyage for our friend Kami, who is now serving a mission in Brazil. She had mentioned to me a while ago that she would like to make a friendship quilt that she could take with her on her mission, so we secretly organized a party where we could do just that! We each found six squares of fabric that represented us in some special way to Kami and put them all together, surrounded by some fabric that she chose that night.Unfortunately, I couldn't get all of the squares sewn together before the party, so the bottom picture is of Kari saving the day with her knee sewing...I totally owe you Kari! It was pretty uneven and scatterbrained, so it became the joke of the night that is was made with love and it didn't matter how it looked...because it was lookin pretty scrappy for a while... Anyhow, we ate taco soup, had some sparkling cider and reminisced and sewed the night away! Around 12:30 we finally got it done and parted ways! I am so grateful for wonderful friends that I can always count on. I love all my girls :D

so fun.
That was such a cute post Sam! You guys are all just as cute and smiley as you were in highschool. I love it. And that is so awesome that she's going to be a missionary! If you remember..give her a big hug for me! I love that girl!
Sam, I didn't even know about this, and I cried when I saw the first picture. I just wrote her today so she can send me the family/friend email updates. I'm thinking of making her letters into a blog that she can print out when she comes home. What do you think?
