Kristina and Sara are childhood friends, who met basically in kindergarden if not sooner!! Kristina and Sara have gone to school together from Kindergarden through their senior year of highschool and have been best friends all along!! Not only have they gone to school together from the beginning, but they also have danced together from about the third grade at TNT Dance Studio and then all through high school on the Fountain Hills High School Dance Company. Kristina and Sara along with another bridesmaid, Brianna, have been known as the three stooges ever since elementary school!! Kristina... I have so many memories with you it is crazy.. from going to the white mountains and all the other trips we went on with your family, rocky point, all our dance events, double cartwheel buddies, birthday parties, hanging out at your house, mac and cheese and corn dogs, church camp, VBS (like in the picture) and the list goes on...!! I have loved having you as my best friend growing up!! You have always been there with advice and yet you are one of the most fun people to be around! Thanks for our friendship and may it continue forever!!
Brianna and Sara go way back as well. Sara has known Brianna since Kindergarten and they have been best friends every since. Brianna could be considered a neighbor to Sara since she lives just around the corner. Sara and Brianna not only went to school together from K-12 grade, but they have also danced together at TNT Dance Studio since the third grade and have been on the highschool dance team together, as well as swim team. Brianna was the other stooge in our three stooges clan. Sara and Brianna always seemed to find fun things to do especially in the summer, whether it was swimming in a flooded wash, jumping on the trampoline, playing at the club mirage, going to the lake, dancing, doing gymnastics, or whatever else we could find. Also every Halloween it was tradition to go to Brianna's house for food and trick or treating. Overall Sara and Brianna have been great friends for along time. - Brianna thanks for always being such a good friend. I am going to miss all of our old memories like calling you Christmas morning to share what we got for Christmas, or sneaking through the yard behind my house to get to yours or going to payson and playing candyland in the back room. There have been countless fun and exciting memories. I have been so blessed to grow up with you. I love'd it!
Well Miss Mariss and Sara go back the farthest. Marissa and Sara have known eachother since they were about two years old. In fact Stan and Patty dropped Sara off at Marissa's house before they were on their way to the hospital to deliver Sara's little brother Matt. Patty's water actually broke in their Marissa's driveway. Sara and Marissa used to have countless sleepovers and they would usually have macaroni for dinner. Despite Marissa and her family moving out of Arizona for a few years and then back to Arizona, Marissa and Sara have stayed close friends. They went to school together for a majority of of elementary school and for all of highschool. Overall, Sara and Marissa along with others did many activities together like being the "Pink" girls from Grease one year for Halloween and then Marissa was Miss Universe one Halloween and Sara was Miss USA. There were so many fun times. Marissa has always been a close and dear friend. - Marissa I am going to miss hanging out with you and jamming to Janet Jackson at your old house and feeding our pet cat Punch and doing girl scouts together way back when. I have loved having you as a best friend and would I not be the same without you. I am so happy to have you with me during this exciting time. I luv ya! LYLAS haha LOL
