best friends forever...that's what they are, kiele and natalie.

both nat's mom and i agree, their friendship is something special. natalie (8) is here visiting kiele (10), from florida. natalie's dad is in the air force. he was stationed here for 10 months last year, while attending grad school. we were next door neighbors for seven of those 10 months (long story). natalie and family moved to florida about a year ago.

kiele pulled out her "Friends Forever" notebook since natalie was coming over. yesterday (with kiele nad nat's permission), natalie's mom and i read what the girls had written in the notebook. here's their first journal entry.

Best Friends Forever!
Dear Best Friends forever book. This is what we have to say: Thank you for our friendship and all that we have. Without each other we would be down every singel day. We want to make this book because we want to remember our childhood speshle friendship time when we are adults. Why we also made this book is because we love and care about each chuther. When we move we will still be together forever. We will never forget eachether even when we are apart. We will still be able to see eachether. We know that some day we will bump into each other and will be sooooo happy to see each other again.

Love,
Kiele and Natalie

they have multiple journal entries since then and kiele has saved all the cards that natalie has sent her over the past year. it's pretty magical.

here's some photos of the girls together and nat's little sister (i did a session the other day of nat and her sister and then a few of kiele and nat together).
