Best Friends or Sisters?

In 1993 I met these two little girls who were also playing softball.  We instantly became best friends! We had lots in common but our lives centered around softball and our friendship.  We were pretty much inseparable all through school.  We have so many memories together. Some happy, some sad, some scary, some just outright hilarious! Friendship like that is truly rare.  And I do believe that once you get to a certain point in your life you stop finding friends like that.  And not only were we the best of friends but our daddies were "cowboy friends" (thats what they called each other) They coached us during the summer and also were close friends! We would always tell people that we were triplets.  We said that because Ashley and Carley were twins.  And we always said the third one always looks different!!

I think back to how obsessed we were with Days of Our Lives and so we decided we had to have pictures of Marlena that we found in a magazine that they were selling. So we scraped together the cash and sent our money in, they sent back the three pictures with a note saying to never send cash in the mail again! I think back to when my grandma died and they were at the funeral and saw how distraught I was and they stayed to comfort me.  They said they didn't really know what to do but them just being there helped! I think back to riding Mr. Chuck's fourwheeler and driving and dodging things and we flipped his fairly new fourwheeler.  We all said "Everyone ok?" and we flipped it back over and went and put the fourwheeler up and ran upstairs and hid! There are just so many stories, I could sit here and type forever.  I love those two girls with all that I am.  We have been the best of friends for 18 years now.  I can't think about my life without them in it! I do believe that they helped make me into the person I am today! Ashley is my son's godmother and Carley will be the next one's.  There was a point in our 18 years of friendship that we stopped being just friends and became sisters!  I know that we have a lifetime more of memories to make with each other.  I cherish each one! And I try so very hard to never take our friendship for granted! I thank God for bringing them into my life.  He certainly knew what he was doing when he crossed our paths.  So Carley and Ashley if you are reading this, thank you for being my bestest friend, thank you for being my sisters, thank you for loving me unconditionally and most of all thank you for being in my life! I love ya'll more than words could ever express!! TA-TA'S FOR LIFE!!
