You love them, laugh with them, want to strangle them for being bitchy or moody, yell it out and then love them again and forget you wanted to strangle them.

| new years eve 2000 |
I have a group of girls I've known since I was roughly 13. That's 16 years of memories starting in junior high through high school, proms, first highs and hangovers, sport championships, the careless summer before college, trips between colleges that carried into the early morning hours with little sleep, bachelorette parties across the east coast, showers and weddings from Cleveland to Vegas.

| halloween 1999 - my genius idea with flippers |
There have been sleepovers, underage arrests, first time boyfriends, trips abroad, summers in our hometown, cancer, funerals, walking on fire, roommates and trips like this weekend that we make time for in our busy lives because they are incredibly important.
We commit to a weekend a year (or maybe even more) to gather back together to make new memories and inside jokes only we know to text, Hey Tell or Facebook with each other simply because we can.

| Vegas 2010 |
We fall back together like we haven't been apart, reminisce, drink too many martinis and take too many shots, laugh so hysterically that we snort, rock shoes that hurt our feet but look down right killer with our outfits and throw any organized day schedule out the window to see where the day then the night takes us.

I couldn't imagine spending
this particular weekend with a group of more supportive, loyal, hilarious, passionate, smart even sometimes dramatic and high maintenance chicas.
I don't know what it's like to have a sister, but I do know what's it's like to have friends who act like sisters and are there along every smooth, bumpy and straight up knock-you-on-your-ass step of the way. You need them to help pull you up, smooth out the kinks, fix your hair and march forward like you didn't skip a beat.
Love you girls! xoxo
