April is my bestie, as lame as that sounds. If there is anyone who understands how strange I can be, it is April. We met at Santa Rosa Junior College in 2004 while taking a musical theater class. We called ourselves "the pea's" because, as you may know, we are like two peas in a pod. April has stood by me through all the ups and downs of life, and she is one of the most loyal people I know.  We share a strange sense of humor and I have some of my greatest memories with her. I admire her beauty, her strength, her independence, her talent and her aspirations. 

Lauren and I have known each other since we were 3 years old. We used to spend every single day together as children, and would pretend we were the Olsen twins. I was Mary- Kate, and Lauren was Ashley. Her dad, Jim Selman would video tape us lip singing to their music videos. We were also part of their fan club. Nerds galore! Although Lauren is now living in Los Angeles pursuing her dreams and changing the world, she has never failed to be the best friend I could ask for. If you know Lauren, you know that she is a true gem in this world, and I am beyond proud to have her stand with me on my wedding day! 

My love, my life, my sweet daughter Emmalina. The day she was born was the best day of my life. She brings my life endless joy.
