Friends of Mine 

OK, and this is my little sister, Carla.  I absolutely must call her my friend!  As a sister, she is so close in age, we ended up doing a lot together with her friends and mine.  We created our own group of friends.  We are sort of the cast-aways, the misfits, the who-cares-what-everyone-else-thinks-let's-be-original-and-do-our-own-thing type of people.  Anyway, Carla and I have been through everything together.  She's cool!
This is my other best friend, Sara.  She lives in Snohomish, my home away from home.  We shared an awesome childhood, from saving ants from a flood to feeding her neighbor's horses. (She's not from India by the way, she was only visiting)
Meet Maren, one of the sweetest girls I have ever had the pleasure to know.  She is my fellow track and cross country runner, one year younger than I, and she is the 1998 Moses Lake's Junior Miss.  Way to go Maren!
Miranda, or Mandy as we call her, is one of my newer friends.  We became friends in Junior Miss together, she being the winner, and I a finalist.  We shared plenty of good times with eachother.
OK, meet Valerie everyone.  She is the one and only who has made me the racer that I am today.  Thanks Val! You have been an inspiration to me the whole 9 miles, even though we usually stop at three.
