Has the best girlfriends in the world

 

Last weekend I spent with the most amazing girls ever.  Who would have known 10 years ago that when I moved into "the house" (sometimes referred to as the chicken coop) my life would change forever!?  I met 7 girls who truly helped me to "blossom like a rose" -- that is for you Garn.  

We lived, we loved, we laughed way before that saying was even popular.  True story.  We went our separate ways and came back together again, time and time again.  Whether we were living in a house all together or in apartments blocks apart we always found our way back to each other.  When school was hard, tuberculosis was on the rise, boyfriends were breaking our hearts or finally someone had found "the one" we celebrated together.  There were costumes, shared clothes, quotable quotes, bowls of ice-cream, charts of fun, pranks, gardens grown, tears shed, boy time, dinners like a train wreck, garbanzo bean surprise and Chilean hot dogs, but most of all there was growth -- all of us changed for the better and became who we are -- together.  

It was so great to be together again with these girls who I love.  We spent the weekend getting massages, shopping, learning about our feng shui, sitting in the hot tub, shopping more, eating good food, and just being together.  It was the perfect spring break.  Time with the girls is never a waste of time.
