It's important that I acknowledge that Bea and I have known each other for a pretty long time--back when we had no idea how to spell our names, but knew we loved going to the same sitter (her Gramz). Not very many people are lucky enough to say they've stayed best friends with the first friend they've ever made. When your adventures together start at the age of 4, you can imagine how many small and big moments we've seen each other go through. And when we were younger, we were pretty set on how our future would look: We'd live together forever (obviously) in a "car-house" (what you would consider a trailer) that had immediate access to the mall--hoping that one day the universe would change the rules and say, "Actually, you ARE sisters!" For years and years, the outlook of our future would change. No longer would we live in a trailer in the parking lot of a mall, but we'd be the dynamic duo of bestie fashion designer & hair stylist or the lawyer & optometrist that our high school imaginations would lead us. We've grown so much together and there was even a time when we grew apart, but we'd been friends for too long to know it was not something we'd eventually grow out of.
P.S. Major cred to my cousin Richard on the photos!
