Greensboro Family Photography-The Hoover's

moved to Pilot Elementary School in the 2nd grade. I was nervous--I was never really good at making new friends. One of the first faces I remember seeing was Tiffanies. She has a smile that could light up a room--thats one of the things that I love about her. We formed a fast friendship, that with its many ups and downs (mostly ups...with some middle school drama induced downs) has seen us through high school, first loves, college, first jobs, marriage, epic moves across country--and then finally BABIES.

My dad used to tell me that if I made it through life with one or two real friends, I should count myself blessed. Ive managed to make it through the better part of my life with three--and Tiff is one of them. She was the first to get married and the first to have babies. So when dad showed me the pictures he did the other week of her sweet family, I was immediately taken back to 2nd grade. Looking at her sweet little Kylies face...I could almost see that same smile that welcomed me to a new school many many MANY years ago. And that little Will--have mercy! He has his daddys charm and the sweetest little spirit.

So yes, I am both blessed and proud to call this beautiful woman my friend...wouldnt you be?
