memories in a box

while i'm here at my parents, the house is a disaster. they are painting every room in the house basically, new floors and carpets all over, new furniture and such...it's a hassle. in prep for getting my room done, i was going through all my cupboards and drawers and throwing away all the garbage/crap that i don't want anymore. as i reached my hand to the back of the cupboard, i pulled out this tiny little gift bag. at first i thought it was the bracelet i got my dad when i was a little girl, because it's in an identical bag. but this was something different. i read the little tag on the gift bag handle, and it says "for breanne and diana, don't open until 2005!!" i thought "OMG, no way!"

 so out the bag comes this little trinket box. how cute? i opened it up and there's a tiny piece of paper that says "never be apart, promises" and then we both signed our names. i totally BBM'd her asap and was like "guess what i found!?" needless to say, it's a keeper!

 blocking out our last names, you know, for safety ;) i can't believe this is from 1998! we met when we were 2 years old in gymnastics and have been best friends ever since (going to the same elementary school, high school, and even college for some time), so going on 21 years now, insane!
