Last Tuesday, I went to try on a bridesmaid dress for one of my best friend's weddings. Emily is getting married next June in Minnesota, yay! :) Since I'm the only bridesmaid not in MN, I tried on the dress in Seattle and here it is:

Emily, Joni, and I have been friends since 7th grade! Heidi and Joni are cousins and grew up next-door to each other, so we all became very close. Emily, me, Joni, and Heidi make up the "four musketeers" who spent much of our time together from middle school on--and Heidi, Joni, me, and my sisters Bonnie and Ashley all worked together at Taco John's in high school. We were all friends and became part of each other's families. Here are some fun old pictures of us:
