Today I'd like to send love to one of my dearest friends, Kristin. We just spent the evening together shopping for outfits for the weekend - I hate shopping but Kris has fabulous taste and is the best personal shopper. I can't wait to wear everything she picked out for me...
We met in high school; she actually graduated 2 years before me, with my sister. At the time, everyone thought *we* were sisters. Petite, long blond curly hair, big smiles... the little girls at cheer camp swore we were twins. She drove me to school every day and we'd sing Jewel & J. Lo at the top of our lungs :) I always adored her and loved visiting her at OSU when she went off to college. I was thrilled when she moved back to Cincinnati from Florida 2 years ago and even more so when she was an hour late after her birthday dinner because the handsome love of her life, René (that is Mr. René - naturally I am referred to as Ms. René) proposed!!!
Now I'm counting down the days until I wear my pretty purple dress and stand at her side as they exchange vows in October. It's really special to have a friend with whom I've grown up and shared so many experiences with. Even her family members have become my good friends. She always makes me laugh (see photo), is a fantastic listener, has great taste in wine and has a heart that is plump with love. And that is why she is my first "Featured Friend" post!
