It Takes a Long Time to Grow an Old Friend (5/22)

2022's annual Fave Things party with my very favorite people was the ninth and last I hosted. Every woman pictured as a favorite for different reasons and a unique, lifelong connection:

  • Tessie as a zany friend from years past as teenagers in the same stake
  • Stephanie as a friend who supported me fiercely as YW president
  • Katie as a friend that originally needed ministering but to whom ministered to me & my family
  • Mia as the second mother to Dalia and anyone else who needed mothering
  • Stacy as a kind-hearted spinning companion 
  • Lora as my fit friend who kept all my secrets
  • Lori as my walking buddy and mom mentor
  • Becky as my sister in law and friend 
  • Christina as a sassy friend whose recipes I still use today 
  • Heidi as a silly friend who I connected with when our husbands did 
  • Keri as my quietest, most spiritual friend
  • Heather who was always along for the ride

Unpictured faves from years past include: Amber who overcame arch nemesis status to be one of my very faves, Andrea whose best friendship far outlasted Omaha, Sheri who moved often but kept showing up in my life, Jen who is a jack of all trades and free to share opinions, Neeley my boss lady friend with a heart of gold, Clare whose busy life kept her away but who I loved seeing on the lake, Shauna with an oopsie baby that lined up with Dalia, Beckie who gave her friendship freely from day one, Karla who was a sweetheart but didn't last long in Omaha, Heidi who was full of introspection and likely a bit hesitant about silly parties, Nicole who was the newest convert and most capable of swoon-worthy crafts, and Whitney who flew in as the youngest of the bunch and kept us cool!
