To my first best friend:

Rayna (aka Sunny), we have so many things in common:

1. We both have brothers named Steven.

2. We were each others first best friend.

3. We had our first sleepovers at each other's houses. Even if sometimes it did end in one of us calling our mom because we missed home.

I am so glad that our moms finally put their foot down to coming to the other's house at the wonderful hour of 3 o'clock in the morning. I am so glad that we got to have so many firsts together. Yet even when I moved and we lost touch, when we reconnected it was just like old times.

I will never forget finding "dinosaur bones" in the back yard at the red house. I will never forget when (my) Steven first started talking and he called you Sunny because he thought we were saying rainy. I will never forget making mud pies, and all the crazy concoctions. I will never forget doing every sport with you growing up. From gymnastics to swimming, some people are just better at things, better than others (mine's the latter, yours is the first). I will never forget all those nights that we spent telling ourselves that we could sleep in your closet, only to wake up and get in your bed. I will never forget the day that it was just the two of us after Angel left us. However, I will never forget the day that we were reunited and it was just like old times.

Ray, I am forever thankful for you.

<3 Jen
