More than skin deep

Dear Rachel,

You know we've been friends for like 12 years now. Can you believe that? You are my longest adult BFF. 12 years of amazing adventures and stories and experiences. Secrets about our darkest places, our character flaws, our weaknesses - all shared usually without judgement. You keep me sane sometimes. I value your perspective, your opinion, your guidance. I love watching you be a mom, how tender you are, graceful and patient. I hope you know how much I love you. How much I value our friendship. And oh how I still cherish our adventures. Here's to us...and South Dakota!

On the road

In the end!
