a friend is...

...someone who knows all about you and loves you just the same.

One of my high school friends was married this past weekend. And I am not sure what it is about this picture, but it makes me very emotional! I am blaming old age, but each one of these girls were my very best friends at some point through my life. I know that our friends change as we do, however, we have never lost touch. They are all still very much my closest friends! And I know without a doubt, you learn your true friends over time. As we all sat at the same table with the husbands, reminiscing about the past 20+ years, it was just the greatest feeling. {Now... our husbands would have probably liked to hear many of those stories before deciding to marry us, but that is neither here nor there! Ha!}

From L to R:  Mikki, Me, Amanda (cousin), Lacey, Catherine, Jennifer and Alea

I am so thankful for each of their friendships. They are all very different, but each one full of LOTS of love! I have no doubts I could turn to each of them at any time with an issue, and they would so drop everything they were doing to help me... without hesitation. And I would do doubt do it for them!

I have more from the weekend, but this picture just means so much to me that I could NOT wait to post it... plus, AMANDA would be texting me within the next day reminding me I hadn't posted in a few days! So... here you go Mana! :) Love you!
