The week I have been waiting for is finally here!  Female readers rejoice along with me, guys get out your tissues, because my beautiful best friend Joro is getting MARRIED!!!

JoLyn and I got the luck of the draw when we were paired as freshmen roommates; we continued living together throughout the rest of our years at college seeing our friendship as a match too good to mess with.

We did all the sorts of silly things that college freshmen do; I’m not going to pretend we are unique in that.  But I do think some of our charades topped the scales.

We duct taped our names outside of our windows every semester since the fall of our second year.  Sometimes we’d come back from break and it just wouldn’t be there anymore.  But we always put it right back up.

We stapled fabric to our curtains and stickied fabric to our walls to decorate.  Despite the pain of the fabric always falling, we affectionately called it “The Blue.”  Visitors we knew and others we didn’t came by just to see how we decorated.  What they didn’t expect was to see a recreation of Olmec from Legends of the Hidden Temple.

We’ve been together on birthdays…

party days…

hot days…

cold days…

memorable days (top of the eiffel tour)…

sisterly days…

graduation days…

and, up til now, just one wedding day.

Now that JoLyn’s wedding is finally here I can feel the excitement of five Christmases!  I hope and pray that JoLyn and Shaun’s marriage will be amazing, but I already know that it will be.  I call dibs on being the first person to cry at their wedding.

PS, if you’ve never watched this Laverne and Shirley video we made in 2006, it is definitely worth checking out!

PPS, her fiance stars in THIS VIDEO.
