I was so blessed earlier this week to get a SURPRISE in the mail! My Best Friend of 24 years is getting MARRIED, and had texted saying something was coming in the mail. I thought it was probably the "Save the Date" or something. Well, I was SHOCKED when I opened the most thoughtful and BEAUTIFUL invitation! Along with a heart felt card listing some of the highlights of our years was a note asking if I would be her Matron of Honor. Honor is RIGHT! I was overjoyed with tears and am so excited for her special day.
I was blessed to meet Lizzy (everyone else calls her Elizabeth) sometime around the summer of 1988 when they moved in next door to us in San Antonio. No one had any idea what would be in store for the two of us as life progressed. God has shown me so much through Lizzy and I cannot imagine my life without her in it. Here is a "short" list of my best memories with Lizzy. I pray that everyone meets their "Lizzy" in life!
XOXO, BFF "24"
Adventures with Lizzy:
