Actually, no. That's Erika. She and I met in late 2002 through her husband whom I've known since 6th grade. They were just engaged then, and we hit it off. So much so that she asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding that was only a few months after we met! She is one of my newest friends, and a very pleasant surprise.

Here is a picture of Christine (my long time best friend), Samantha, and Erika (my new best friend, but not replacing Christine).


And here's a great picture of Christine on my wedding day (and a crappy one of me - my boobs look all pointy!).


Basically, you gotta look at it like this - crap happens. The people you think will always be in your life may surprise you and not be... but you will make connections with other people. It hurts, yeah. But I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason.
