My Very Best Friends!

A VERY long time ago, I hung out with three girls in high school. We had all sorts of adventures, and I would never admit to most of them. Somehow, it's been over 20 years, and we still talk on the phone weekly. We have 8 kids between us, and and incredible exchange system for all things "baby"... from shoes to to sweaters.
You wouldn't believe the difference in our views... from political to religious. We have politics covered from the left to the right. We have different methods for just about everything, from raising kids to cleaning products.
Yet, somehow we are all the same. We respect each other and the differences that make us unique. We value each other's opinion and friendship... and love each and every second we get to spend together.
These girls lift me up in a way no one else could. I only have a brother, so I imagine that this is the closest thing I will ever get to sisters. I couldn't imagine having three more wonderful sisters. I couldn't imagine a day going by without thinking of them.
I am so glad to be part of this wacky group of women. I am so lucky that someone remembers me, and my crazy stories. I am so happy that I know when I am having a bad day, odds are that one of my girls will call to check on me, and help me get through.
Someday, when the kids are a little older, we are going on some 'girl-only' vacations. We are going to make some fabulous memories... and maybe then we won't have to keep telling the same stories- we'll have new ones.
Nah, I know this group, and we'll always laugh about Brenda falling down the bleachers into the band. Cause it just doesn't get any better than that!
Love you girls.. thanks for the great evening!
