Friends for Life

Naomie and I met when she came to work as a CNA at Zion Care Center just after we had graduated from high school and she moved from California to live with her Great-Grandparents in LaVerkin.  We instantly became friends and nearly 20 years later her daughter, Tayler, lives with us, as she moved here just after graduating from high school to attend college in Portland.  Yesterday, October 11th, was Tayler's 18th birthday and Naomie and her husband, Mark, were able to come to Portland for a visit.  It was so good to see her and catch up as it has probably been 10+ years since we have seen each other.

Swedish fish....Naomie and I constantly had these tasty treats, as well as carmels, candy corns and bottled water in our side pockets of our scrub pants....so many fun times and pictures we chatted about over the weekend.
