My little friend

Sometimes I think it's funny that one of my best friends here is in high school. However Naomi and I seem to share the same brain most of the time. And so during spring break the girls and I spent quite a bit of time at the mall searching for the perfect prom dress. You only get your senior prom once! Avery said she looked like a mermaid! And then because of my children (who were actually quite understanding and great that day) we didn't get to see the final selection before she bought it. She apologized which was funny. Her mom and sister were there too, and I'm sure I was giving my opinion a little too liberally, but we had fun.

Finally the big event arrived. She made Avery's night on Saturday when she came over in her "mermaid" dress to show off her sparkles. On a night when most people are fairly consumed with themselves, she came to see some of her favorite people. They just happen to be 1 and 4 years old. I love that! Her date was completely understanding, and even teased Avery a bit. Big bonus points for us. Thank you Naomi for loving my girls. You have no idea how much you mean to all of us. You looked absolutely gorgeous, and we love you!
