How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. - Annie Dillard

My BFF


Proverbs 17:17
"A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need."

I have been incredibly blessed to have loyal friends - friends from high school, college, and post college, friends pre-parenting and post-parenting, friends in every part of the United States, friends who make my days memorable, the past pleasant to reflect on and the future hopeful, a few friends I consider family.
Jaime is one such friend. Jaime is my best friend in the whole world and the only sister I've ever known. We met in college and have been attached ever since. We have lived in the same town and across the country from each other. Together we have experienced singleness, married life, and now motherhood. Jaime has been one of my most loyal friends, and I honestly believe she was born to help in times of need. She has been an encourager, jokester, comforter, and confidant. She has been, is, and always will be a loyal friend and part of my family.

I feel like God has blessed our friendship is more ways than I can count. I think the biggest blessing He has given us is experiencing motherhood together. Even though she lives in Florida and I'm thousands of miles away in Oregon, we are bonded once again through this new adventure. As if motherhood wasn't hard or rewarding enough with one, Jaime got two! Twins! Zaya and Chase, whom I consider my niece and nephew, two babies that I am just dying to meet.


Not only have I got to experience Jaime as a loyal friend and sister, I now get to experience her as a great mom. She continues to inspire and amaze me. Her whole life has been that way, actually. A testament to God's goodness and redemption, an example of His promises fulfilled

I miss my best friend and sister. If I could have any wish right now, I would wish to be with her. To watch her love her babies, to introduce her to my little man, to go through the ups and downs of our days together, to make each other laugh when we want to cry, to make each other lunch when we're exhausted, and to witness the beauty of Zaya and Chases' smiles.

One day, friend, one day.

    Kelli, You read my heart like a book. I wish daily we were closer in this great advenure. Our talks on the phone are great, but I miss you. I want to know Gram so badly and I want you to know Zaya and Chase. I'm thankful we are going through this together. Your encouragement has helped me so much. I love you my sister!
