A Tribute to My Twin

It was my freshman year...her sophomore!! We had no idea what would be in store for our relationship when we met that first Alabaster Dance meeting!! Who knew we would become best friends, d-group leaders, dancers, partners in crime, late night chatters, boy problem fixers, bridesmaids, and twins!! My best friend, Kristen Robinson, is getting married on August 7 and I wanted to reminisce our journey together!! Some of these are old and embarrassing, but it is what made us so close!! So we begin Fall 2005!!

We were at a Dance Competition getting ready for a night on the town!!

My Twin!

Kristen, I am so honored to be your Matron of Honor on the happiest day of your life! You have been such a blessing to my life, and I honestly don't know where I would be without you!!

As you can see....we went through UCA together!! We were together 24/7, and although we live in different cities now, we do the best we can to see each other! Some of the pictures were hilarious and many were embarrassing, but you can see how we grew through those years into the people we are now!! God truly blessed me with a fabulous friend!!
