The best.

I've always known that I have been given the BEST people in my life. My family, my friends, people that come and go quickly. Each has been for a reason and that is something I have always been aware of. Perhaps that is why I cling to friends so tightly. This morning I was able to spend time with a group of girls that have become my sisters over the last 7ish years and I was reminded of that today. For awhile there we were attempting to have a book club. It never really worked out because we all liked chatting far too much to actually discuss a book (assuming anyone read it...). To solve this problem we decided to do activities together instead. This months activity worked out quite well because Rach & Ames were both in town. It was so fun to catch up with them but mostly I just loved having everyone together. I always feel like everything is complete when so many of us are together. Breakfast was wonderful with lots of laughing and talking and those valued "girl" moments where everyone gets all fired up over one of their girl friends being hurt by a guy or a friend.

I just have to say that I'm grateful for these friends because they are mature, strong and independent women (in all of the good ways) that have taught me many things and have helped me to realize what I want to be more of. They have been a shoulder for me in difficult times, have laughed hysterically with me at nothing, have swooned with me over silly moments and have become the kind of people that I really feel I can share my heart with. I've talked about many of these girls before but I can't let this day pass without expressing it again. I left feeling sad because it is the last time, in the foreseeable future that we will all be together and sad because I just didn't want to leave because I love that feeling. And of course feeling joy because, really how could you not? Here are some pictures of the lovely ladies. And, if I do say so myself everyone is looking incredibly hot in these photos. I love you girls and I'm so grateful that I was in the right place at the right time to build such beautiful friendships with such beautiful women. You truly inspire me.
