Once there were two little ladies who met at the ripe age of four because they happened to live on the same street.....Redbarn Lane in Idaho Falls, ID. They were fast friends and did EVERYTHING together: tramp jumping, doll playing , barbies, little people, Jenny's Palace, dress up, coloring, horse riding, school, church, and an unexpected ride in a police car. Their phone numbers were even on each other's landline speed dials (that was serious stuff back in 1989, there were only three different numbers you could program in to satisfy everyone in the family's needs, three out of everybody, people!).

The next three years flew by and before they knew it the ladies were both seven years old and still inseperable. Then something horrible happened.....one little lady was told by her parents that the family would be moving to Farmington, UT. The newly seven year old was devastated and so was her speed dial friend. They couldn't imagine living apart, so they devised a plan. They decided to be consistent pen pals, they promised to phone each other often, and to visit each other whenever possible. The plan seemed perfect, and the two best friends were ready to defy all odds and stay best friends forever despite their unfortunate locations.

Believe it or not these two stuck to their plan: they wrote, they called, they visited. Sure, they didn't go to school or church together anymore but everything seemed to be going as originally planned. Then....the teenage years began and the two wrote, spoke, and visited less. In the midst of those teenage years they decided to go to EFY together and soon remembered why they had been so close in the first place, they had fun together and they had a lot in common. For instance, neither one of them felt that church was something to cheer, and dance, and do skits about, so they bailed early on EFY, and their four year old bond was once again reestablished.

Finally, the awkward years were over and it was time for college. They loved college even though they still didn't spend much time together. At the end of their junior year they decided to live together along with two other friends. The stars finally aligned for the two grown up ladies and from the moment they moved in together they realized that at the ripe age of four both of them were a pretty good judge of character. For the next three and half years they experienced a lot together: college graduation, vacations, moving to S.L., first jobs, boyfriends, etc... Life seemed just about perfect and the two ladies couldn't have been closer.

Then....one lady got a job in Lindon and decided the commute was a no go for her and her SUV so she suddenly left her BFF of 20 years and moved to Provo. Now one lady is alone in her bed and writing this sad but totally awesome memoir of their defying all odds friendship. Do you think we can do it again? Get your pen and paper Al, it's pen pal time!
