Turning Back TIme

This evening I have been catching up on my wonderful friend's blogs. And one in particular took me off gaurd, made me smile, brought a tear to my eye, and just flat out made my day. Thanks Shy!

Everyone needs a Shyanne Bell in their life! We have known each other since we were nine (22 years now)! She is 1 day older than me and pretty much everything major that has occured to me in my life has occrued at pretty much the same time in hers. We only lived in the same place for 1 year but remained close. We both went to Camp Bandina and numerous summers I went and stayed with her and her family for a week before camp. When we were 22, we went on a cruise to the Carribean, we had not seen each other since we were 18 at our last year at Bandina. She was a bridesmaid in my wedding, and the last time I saw her was at her wedding, 5 months after mine (almost 7 years)! Grace is 5 months older than her twins and the next Christmas after her twins were born, I got a her card in the mail and it said Love Matt, Shyanne, Cade, Cole, and Baby! We had just found out that I was pregnant with Hope. Rylie is just a few weeks older than Hope!

We pick up the phone every once in a while and talk like we had just seen each other. We keep track of each other through our blogs and Facebook. She is just one of those people that I know will always be there for me! God blessed my life 22 years ago with her friendship and I cannot wait to see what the next 50 bring us! Love ya girl!

Me and Shy at my wedding. If Hunter would have done it, I would made him get up in the attic and dug out all my old photos from camp. Why could I not find the scrapbook from the cruise when I needed it?????
