K is for KAYLI

K is for Kayli

This is my bff, Kayli.  We've known each other for 27 years and 10 months and we've been bff's this whole time.  I can't recap every great memory I have with her because we've been friends forever.  Not very many people are lucky enough to have such a good friend for their entire life.  Even if you have, it would be nothing like having Kayli.  She's the funniest, most sincere and loving person.  She always knows what I need to hear.  I've spent a lot of my life trying to be more like her.  I love her for the example she has been to me throughout my life.  I love her for every good time we have had and for being my friend when I had hard times, too.  From preschool to now, I've always had Kayli to turn to.  I'm so blessed to have a forever friend.  There's still time for our childhood dream to come true and we can live next door to each other again.

I'll keep posting pictures as I find them.  I have a favorite of us when we were four, all dressed up and ready to walk to a birthday party.

Abbi's First Softball Game!

Abbi did super at her game!  She loved it!  We're so happy that she has something to do with other kids for a few months.  Abbi was the catcher for this game and she caught the ball in her mitt a couple of times!  She wasn't afraid when the machine pitched the ball and she hit it so well.  We don't care if she ever chooses to play softball again but it's so great to see her enjoy herself and play with the other little girls.  Abbi is our superstar!
