K is for Katrina....

rachtrina

So, this is me (i'm the one on the left, heh heh) and my friend, Katrina. I don't know exactly how old we were in this picture...maybe 7 or 8?? Anyway, she was my best friend growing up. We went to church together, our parents were really good friends, and my brother is/was really good friends with Katrina's younger sister, Torri.
We've spent a lot of our time together. We used to get into all kinds of trouble, like when we tried to climb out of the window in the room we had Sunday school in (I'm pretty sure Jean Voth was our teacher at the time). We went to Pioneer Club together for a chunk of time, took swimming lessons together, watched the Princess Bride and other Rachael/Katrina classics millions of times, and went to Rise Up when we were older, ASAP when we were even older...sigh. Now it seems like we hardly ever see each other. I just found out the other day that she's away travelling, spending some time in Australia and the Phillippines. So cool. She's definitely the friend I've had for the longest time of my life. Second only to Kate, Jessie and Alana who I've known since grade one and two!! We even lived with them a couple of times, the most recent being when I was in highschool. We had a chunk of time inbetween when we had to be out of our one house, and could move into the next one. So, since they have a basement suite they use as a bed and breakfast, we stayed there for about a month, I think. That was cool.
So, there's my tribute to Katrina, also known as Trina, Trine, and KB. Miss ya, dude! Hurry home so we can hang out like we used to!!
