How did it all begin? Rachel has been one of my best friends since the womb when our mamas were preggo lady friends. We grew up together going to the same schools, sitting together in primary, and dreaming of the days we would be college roommates at BYU. The summer when we were 14, there was talk of a new girl coming to town. When we learned her last name, we referred to her as "the little Farmer girl." Well who knew that the little Farmer girl named Julia would soon make our duo a happy little trio.
These girls helped me through the treacherous jungle that was teenage-dome. Rachel's house was always a place to go for getting ready for dances, hair wraps, movie nights in the basement, and star gazing on the trampoline until we fell asleep. Julia was locked in a bathroom with me the first time we experienced firsthand how drunk and dumb some of our high school peers could be. The three of us spent all our Sundays at church and firesides, all our early mornings at Seminary, all our Wednesday nights at young women's activities, and so many of our weekends together being the best of girly friends.
When we all planned to go to BYU together, things didn't go quite as we planned... one at BYU-Hawaii, one at BYU-Idaho, and one at BYU-Provo. Kind of hard to be roommates when you end up at 3 different and very distant BYUs. But dude, nothing makes me happier than the fact that now, 10 years after becoming the three amigas, our friendship remains strong! We spent a lot (like, a lot) of our high school days chatting about the future when we'd find the men of our dreams and get married. Little did we know, 2015 would be the year for every one of us :) Being close to Rachel as she fell in love with Lee and decided he was her guy for eternity was the best. Hearing from Jules all about the super cute guy named Tyler at AFY and watching that turn into a real thing was awesome. I've had so much fun and been filled with so much joy sharing in the celebration of our weddings this year. I'm grateful that despite the distance, I always have these ladies by my side and close to my heart.
Okay girls sooo... next up Three Friends, Three Babies, One Year?! Count me in.
