Just for Allie...

Allie Walker Sebesta is one of my life-long friends (well, since age 9 or so) that I can truly count as a soul-mate and one of those friends that I would do anything for. While we have never lived in very close physical proximity to each other (she lived in Hattiesburg), she did spend 2 weeks each summer at my house. Between summers we wrote countless letters, talked countless hours on the phone and have had some of the funnest memories of my childhood/young adult-hood together (Samuel L. Jackson in a lemon yellow suit, anyone?). We've loved, encouraged, supported, laughed, cried and giggled our way through growing up and becoming women and I'm so very grateful for her. She has been an "Ecclesiastes 4:9-10" friend...I hope you all have one like her. Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 reads...

"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls for he has no one to help him up.
" Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 New King James Version

Allie recently (well, not all that recently any more...I'm slow) made a request of me. She said that I never put pictures of me on my blog and she wants to see pics of me "in my life" on my blog. (she lives in Austin now, so we don't see each other much). Well, here ya go, Alliecat. Love you!
