Dear sweet Nicole

These are three of my favorite friends. Jen a.k.a South, Nicole a.k.a Richie, and Christin a.k.a Buck or Bucky or Buck Wild. They all served in the same mission in Nauvoo (that's where the last name thing comes in).
In the middle of August Richie and Peedy (not in this pic) were at another mission companion/roommate's wedding in Atlanta, GA. On the way to the reception they were in a horrific car accident. The young man in the back seat next to Richie was killed and she and Peedy were taken to the hospital.
They're both home now and doing VERY well. Peedy came to church last week and Richie is coming up to SL from her parent's house next weekend for a slumber party.
This picture was taken just after South gave Richie her new haircut. Because Richie had brain surgery her LONG blonde hair had to be cut off. I think she pulls it off beautifully.
These girls are sooooo much fun and it was amazing to see the outpouting of love and support given to Peedy and Richie after the accident. I'm lucky to have such great friends!
