Jamie MitchellAge: 20
How long I've known her: 15ish years
How we met: Church
Favorite (shallow) thing about her: Sense of humor- we find the EXACT same things hilarious, and not just a couple of "haha's" hilarious but like laugh out loud, 'til you cry, on the floor in pain hilarious.
Favorite (deep) thing about her: She truly wants to see less of herself and more of the Lord
Favorite memory: I've had more adventures with Jamie than anyone else in my life so this is extremely difficult to narrow down so I'm gonna have to round it all off to the summer of 2008, just before I left for college. We spent something like a total of 40 consecutive days together and not one day passed where we weren't laughing our heads off.
Natalie Black
Age: 22
How long I've known her: 12ish years
How we met: Church
Favorite (shallow) thing about her: This unbelievable ability to notice and sarcastically comment on every detail of life, she makes the every day SO MUCH MORE FUNNY!
Favorite (deep) thing about her: She cares so deeply for people and has the most nurturing spirit
Favorite memory: Ok so I have two faves : ) 1. Natalie & her parents took me along with them to Maui before her senior graduation! Such a fun trip spending so much time with her before she left for college and 2. Helping plan for her wedding! Natalie married Jared on November 20, 2010 and I was BLESSED & honored to be part of my best friends wedding!
Kristin Barber
Age: 22
How long I've known her: Almost 21 years
How we met: Our parents introduced us : )
Favorite (shallow) thing about her: Her fake mexican accent- and how funny she finds the simplest things
Favorite (deep) thing about her: Kristin has always shown me a good example of responsibility, determination, and dedication. She has always known what she's wanted and worked hard to get it.
Favorite memory: When she first got her drivers license and Mel & I used to be driven everywhere by her. I thought she was the coolest person on the planet and loved every minute of being driven in her car.
Melissa Barber
Age: 20
How long I've known her: Almost 21 years
How we met: Our parents introduced us : )
Favorite (shallow) thing about her: When she says something and everyone in the room cracks up in unison because she's that funny
Favorite (deep) thing about her: Mel has always seemed to care about what matters, she never gets carried away with the insignificant details of life and puts things into perspective easily
Favorite memory: All of the ridiculous things we did as children/partners in crime with our crazy imaginations (i.e. building new forts every two seconds, starting multiple neighborhood businesses, going through the recycle bin and reusing things like a pringles can for a telescope). If/when Joel & I have kids we will be lucky if they are half as crazy/imaginative as Mel & I were.

Umm, I think you're missing someone. (Me.)
I love this post because I love each and every one of these ladies as much as you do! And I think you could technically say you've known Mel over 21 years since you shared a womb before you shared a room!
I just want to say this is awesome and i miss the barber twin duo...I really think you both were cheated by not winning class clown together. Did Mel win that? I can't even remember...we totally could have made that happen too, seeing as you and I BOTH were yearbook cool kids. I just remembered our Banditas night with Lauren and may or may not have just peed my pants a little because of how awesome nights like that were.
Made my day :)
This is fabulous! You are SO great at putting life into words....so perfectly descriptive and wonderful.
Also, were you trying to find the oldest picture of us possible?? hahaha
