Amy & Austin

One of my best friends, Miss Amy Barker, is getting married!

March 21st of this year Amy's boyfriend, Austin Richards, proposed! Amongst hundreds of rose petals, after a night of the Houston Rodeo, a dream was realized by one precious young lady who had been dreaming of that day ever since she was a little girl. 

Amy and I met the first day of a math class in college. That day we talked through almost the entire class (and many others after that day!), and immediately began a friendship that has grown stronger by the day. It is so hard to believe that that was almost 8 years ago! Since then we have held hands through the journey of life and have made it through so many fun times, happy times, not so fun times and sad times - TOGETHER. We have cried on each others' shoulders, laughed until we cried, prayed together, eaten a lot of ice cream, had many a mani/pedi, planned our lives, and re-planned our lives when things changed. I remember the day she called to first tell me about Austin, the day she called to tell me that Austin had asked her mom for her permission to marry Amy, the day that she called to tell me that she was engaged (!) and most recently, the day she called to ask me to be her Maid of Honor!! 

I am so honored to be asked to be Amy's MOH, and will definitely do that job to the best of my ability and be there for every possible detail. Just as Amy was there for me on my wedding day, I will be there for hers, every step of the way - every application of lip gloss!
