HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAMI

"Fair-weather friends are easy to find, but a genuine friend who can be counted on to remain true is a treasure worth searching for. When you have found someone who is authentic, someone who is true, you have found the fairest gem that the riches of worlds can produce."
Lloyd D. Newell
Tami has been my best friend for about 17 years now and I have truely found a treasure to have her in my life.
We met in Highschool, went away to college together, both went on missions, got married a week apart from eachother, had kids and know live 10 minutes from eachother.
She has been there for me in every aspect of my life and would drop anything at a minutes notice to help me.
When I NEEDED to go back to work but didn't know how I could with kids, she was the one to tell me to do it and she would watch my kids. She has 3 little kids of her own and works from home. She is the most selfless, caring person I know. She even cancelled her babies doctors apt. one time because I needed a babysitter. That is just ONE of the millions of things she has done for me.
"Everyone has a "best friend" during each stage of life- only a precious few have the same one."

I am so so blessed to have Tami in my life and know that she will always be one of the most important people in my life.
I love you Tami, thanks for being the best, best friend ever!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Now to go down memory lane just a bit.

Us in highschool on "Brady Bunch" day.

Tami came to the beach with my family every summer. She's considered part of our family.


Rocky Point with her family, we were seriously stuck on the sand.


We went to UVSC to college and had the best time ever. One of our favorite things to do was to go up Provo Canyon. Halloween in college.


We had never lived in snow before, so when we woke up the first morning it snowed in Provo and saw everything white we were beyond excited and just ran outside. And visiting Tami when she lived in Flastaff. We went "caving".


We still love to do all of our tricks. This is just a couple months ago:) We've been doing them for 15 years and haven't lost it.

In our wedding dresses. It was so fun to get married just a week from each other.


And of course our kids are gonna marry eachother! Will it be Nolan? Or Colby? We're really gonna have to watch these 2, kissing already!:)



And our girls will of course be best friends:)

How rare not only to find such a true, loyal friend, but even more rare to have that friend go to the same high school, college, and then to live 10 minutes away! What a blessing!
