We are so happy for the both of them! Angela and I have been friends since we were toddlers. Our houses were across the street from each other in our neighborhood in Yorba Linda. We were convinced that we were somehow related because her brother and my Dad had the same birthday. Her parents anniversary and my birthday was the same as well. In our 8 year old minds that meant we were genetically connected. We spent every waking hour together playing barbies, having sleepovers, and making up a "fantasy club" in the gully behind her house (where we weren't supposed to be hanging out). Right before 6th grade, Angela's parents moved their family to Rockwall, TX. And although we were only 11 years old....I remember being so devastated that my best friend was moving away and not knowing if I would ever see her again (back then we didn't have Internet or email.....this really makes me feel old). Angela and I kept in touch as pen pals, sending letters and school photos to each other over the years. She would come back to California during the summers to visit her grandparents and I would always get a few days in to visit as well. The first time I went to Texas was right after our high school graduation. We thought that we were rebels and decided to go get our belly buttons pierced. Angela almost fainted and I thought I was going to as well. Being the goody-two-shoes that we were.....we confessed to her mom that night what we had done and I called my Dad from the airport to let him know as well. Angela came to California when I was first going through cosmetology school and let me dye her hair blonde.....it took me almost 3 hours and she was so patient! I traveled to Austin, TX for her college graduation and she stood by my side as I said my vows to Jeremy three years ago.I am so blessed and honored to stand by her side as she says "I Do" to Travis on October 3rd in Cabo San Lucas.
Congratulations again you two!!! We love you guys and can't wait for the wedding!!!
