Girls Just Want to Have Fun!

This past weekend, I had the privlegdge/honor to host my elementary school friends at my house. I have 4 girlfriends I've known since elementary school...Kristin, Andria, Tara and Meghan. Meg cleverly nicknamed us the "Forever Five" a few years ago, and the name seems to have stuck. We all went to elementary and middle school together, somewhat divided in HS when Tara and Andria went to catholic school and each went our own direction during college. Even though distance separated us and we didn't pick up the phone or email often, we always knew that we had each other, no matter what! Luckily, we are now within 3-4 hours of each other and this weekend, we were all together for a sleepover party at my house! The rules involved good food, lots of drinks, and sweatpants; old pictures got taken out which made us laugh...bringing up old memories of past relationships and past friends. We talked about the future...kids, holidays, etc...and why we love the men in our lives. Like we did when we were 8 years old, we stayed up until 2 am, chatting and finally went to bed. We had breakfast, continued conversation and eventually, everyone had to pack up and leave. But now goodbyes don't mean I'll see you in a year. We officially decided that we each host a weekend per few months and help out with projects at each others homes; Tara's place is next! Though I don't see each other often or talk often and I know I don't say it to them, these girls really do mean alot to me. And having that one night on Saturday really made me realize what a special bond we have!
