Happy Best Friends Day, Annie

Annie,
I want you to know that I will never forget all the great things we have done over the years. I know I am bad at getting back to answering emails and I am very sorry for that. But you know how I am and I know that no matter what you'll stick thru it all with me. No matter what, I know that we are stuck with each other. We have never abandoned each other yet, and we're not about to start now. So, I want to let you know that I miss you, and I'm sending out my hugs, kisses, and cookies all the way from Japan just for you on our special day. Thanks for always being there for me. Thru thick and thin. Tears of sadness and tears of joy. (And tears of pain from all those bareback accidents! Wowch!)From Marion to Colorado and back! From the bottom of my heart, thank you, for always being my friend, and for being closer than a sister. I love you girl. In Him, Jessie

HEY JESS! Guess what today is?! Do you remember? One solemn day back when we were kids, this day was deemed....National BEst FRIENDS day! It still works overseas too! :)
What have you been doing? Getting to ride much? I hope you are having fun and living life to the fullest in Japan. Make the most of the time you are there, gain lots of experiences. Make a difference in people's lives, like you have here and everywhere you go! I have been blessed by you and your friendship in my life, and I thank God for you every day. We have shared SO many memories, good and bad, and you are so much a part of my life, like a sister to me, some one I could not forget even if i TRIED! You are stuck with me and I am stuck with you forever! Let that be a soothing thought not a sentence, ha ha.
