Ok, so, anyway, for those of you who don't know, lemme give you a lil history of our friendship...
Our dads were in Bethel together in the 70's, before Talia's parents were even married. So, my dad and her dad became best friends. Then, they went their separate ways and Talia's mom and dad ended up in Texas, and my parents moved to Illinois. When Talia and I were really little she and her family would come to visit us in Illinois every year. The earliest memory I have of Talia was when she was 4 years old. I remember I used to sit at the window all day long, waiting for her to get to my house. Anyway, so, we grew up together, even though we didn't see each other often. In 1997 Talia's dad got my dad a job in Dallas. So, we moved down here. Ever since then, me and Talia have become inseparable. I hope that someday we'll be two little old ladies and still as close as we are now.
Now, here are some pictures of Talia, my bestest buddy.
First, we'll start with some pics of lil' Talia...awww ;) Ain't she cuttteeee *pinches her cheeks*
Talia and her daddy...I think she was like 2 years old. Hehe, this is an adorable pic.
She looks so mischievious in this pic. She's about 4 here.
Here's her again when she was older, like 5. As you can see, she's holdin on to her baby doll :)
This is me and Talia at my house in Illinois when she was 4 and I was 5 I think. I remember that day like it was yesterday. My mom and dad had bought me that kitchen set and it was a surprise. I remember my mom covered it with a table cloth and put milk and cookies on it for me and Talia. After we got done eating, she took the cloth off and there it was. Hehe, that was a great day...*sigh*...Memories...
Here's some pics from our akward pre-teen and early teen years..I'm glad we're past that stage of life, lol.
Here's us when I was about 12 and she was probably 11...it was right after I moved to Dallas, like that same month I think...September. We were at a concert thing and we got our faces painted. Talia got a flower and I got a butterfly...as you can see, haha.
This is around the same time as the last pic...Talia was in the 6th grade and she took dance. They had this lil parade thing at her school and she was part of it. Isn't she cute in her lil' dance outfit? hehe.
This is in January 1998 at a wedding. The little girl that Talia's holding is named Cheyanne, she used to go to our congregation. In the left corner of the pic you can see Talia's sister Gabriela. She's making the meanest face, haha. She was 3 there.
Aww lookie...see how much we love each other?? haha. This was taken when she was 12 and I was 13, on Talia's living room floor.
Here's Talia when she was 12, in the summer of '98.
And this is Talia the year after that, when she was 13.
This next pic was taken at a party we went to at a friend's house, in 2000 I think.
And here's some pics of us now, almost all growed up :-D
These pictures were taken the day that my best friend also became my sister, October 5th, 2002...the day of her baptism.
Woo lookie, it's Talia the runway model! Haha. This was right after her baptism, after she got all dried off.
And here she is again :-D
Here's Talia, her lil' brother and sister, and her baby cousin at the memorial last year.
Ok, here it is..the last picture. This is Talia's senior picture. I think she looks really pretty in this pic. *sniffle* They grow up so fast...
