Cheers, Nicole and Ray, to a lifetime of detergent decisions. My best friend, my soul sister, has found her match. We’ve stood witness to one and other’s joys and pains, “growing up” and becoming whole, side by side and far apart. 24 or so years have built us. We don’t talk every day or keep up on the small stuff but we know that’s okay. We’ve become independent and have gained quiet understanding and respect through differences. I look forward to seeing how we evolve as you begin this season of life that felt so far away as kids. This is where I’m supposed to start reciting your new name and scribbling it all over my notebooks in gel pen, right? Like we practiced? Oh and hey, I’ll try not to be late to the wedding.
