If you’ve been reading this blog for any length of time, you probably know that Robyn and I are friends. We’re like friendship-braclet-wearing, share-a-brain, can’t-remember-when-I-didn’t-know-her BFFs. I mean, we’ve been friends so long, when we met, the term BFF’s hadn’t been invented yet.
We’ve been crititquing each others books since 1998. That’s long before either of us sold. We’ve been through marriages, pregnancies, miscarriages, and booksales. I cried as much when she sold her first book as I did when I sold my first. We’ve gone to conferences together and writing retreats. More than once I’ve laughed so hard I nearly peed my pants. And that’s with my pre-pregnancy bladder.
So today, I thought I’d take a trip down memory lane and share some pictures of our history together.
This is Robyn, her mother and I right after she won the RT reviewer's choice award. Go Robyn!
This is Robyn with my daughter right after she was born. Another picture I just love!
Here's Robyn right around the time she met her husband, Paul. I don't know if she likes this photo or not, but I've always loved it.

Aww! What great pictures! There’s nothing more wonderful than BFF’s, especially when they’re writers, too.

Ah my dear friend! What she didn’t say (which I really appreciate) is that today *I* was supposed to blog and I didn’t get my usual email reminded from my iCAL and so I totally forgot and she knew I wasn’t home & just blogged for me. Girlfriends are the best, the absolute best!
