Best Friends....Still

As soon as I wrapped up Aiden's baptism and Sydney's birthday, I hopped on a plane to North Carolina to meet up with all my college roommates.  Annie and Anna are living a few hours apart, so they hosted us and we rented a beach house for a few days.

It was so fun to watch the BYU vs. Utah football game with the same girls I went to games with years ago.  (By the way, we have all learned a lot more about the game and I was even impressed with the intelligent comments we made.....Brent would've been proud).

We mentioned how our college experience with each other probably isn't very typical.  The fact that we are still getting together 17 years later is pretty amazing.  I tell my girls about how awesome college was and they see me loving these friends years later and they look forward to having that experience.  I pray that they get to have what I have.  These friends have changed me for the better.  Love them!

We mostly sat on the beach, went out to dinner and stayed up late talking. We had brought old college photos and reenacted them.  It was hilarious.












 I know I say this every time I get with these girls, but it is so great to have friends like these.  We open up to each other about our struggles, everyone listens and loves each other.  I know that they support me.  If I needed them, anyone of them would be at my house in a moments notice.  That's pretty awesome!  When we get together, we are real, honest, comfortable, uplifted, renewed and happy.  They make me feel great.  They make me feel like I am a great person who can do great things.  They are so so fun.  They are so so good.  I am so so blessed!

You are really blessed. Your description of your relationship with those girls sounds just like mine of my own sisters. Our recent trip to Phoenix for Time our For Women was so much fun. I haven't gotten so little sleep and enjoyed it so much in a long time. We are going to have to try the photo recreation thing next time. That was just amazing.
