You know when you meet someone and you knew it was fate and completely meant to be? This describes one of my best friends Katy. I met her through another friend (you'll hear more about this friend in a following post). I had just moved back to NM from AZ after graduating from Arizona State University. Since I had just moved back I didn't have many friends except my sister friends. I was really trying to find my own circle so a friend that I had just recently met invited me to a ladies dinner at Outback Steak House (this is where I meet Katy). We all had a great talk at dinner and ended up friend requesting each other on Facebook.
A few months later Katy randomly sets me up with a blind date (no it wasn't michael and obviously that date was over before it started, haha). This was how our friendship started... we had shared many laughs and a bottle of wine when I went over to her house immediately following this "date". We ended up hanging out more frequently and chatting all the time. She was going through some personal stuff and I was too and we were both instantly connected. In the previous post, "Our Meeting", I tell how Katy was involved with how Michael and I met :)

Katy is someone I can open up to no matter what. I am not afraid of her passing judgement or second thinking myself. We have had many laughs together and even tears. We have both opened up to each other like I have never opened up before especially so quickly after meeting. She knows things that I never planned on telling anyone. She is also someone I can count on spiritually. Her faith is also very strong and very contagious which has been extremely comforting during those times of need (esp when concerning Addie's health). I couldn't imagine her not standing by my side on my special day.
Love this! Thank you so much Kira. I feel so blessed to call you best friend. I KNOW that I can count on you for any circumstance, trial or happy day I endure. You are such a rare find as we discussed the other day. You are someone that is there, through thick and thin, and you don't let life's "changes" I feel like I should say but really they are blessings, get in the way of our friend ship. And for that I truly thank you! I cannot wait to walk wit you through this journey, and down YOUR ISLE to the rest of your life with Michael. Much love - Katy
