"...just walk beside me and be my friend"


For the third time, Kelly, Becky, and I had a "party night" together. Basically that just means lots of drinks, attempted game-playing, robust laughter, and jam sessions for the guys. This time we gathered at our house. The boys were there too, but it's those girls that truly make me feel lucky. In fact, I think it's amazing that the three of us have ended up teaching together-- same grade and rooms in a row. Because it is not just anyone that will join you for a drunken night and dance to Rusted Root and Phish in the living room while the boys play guitar out back. It is not just anyone that will get all teary-eyed with you as you talk about how grateful you are to have each other. And it's not just anyone that will tell it like it is, holding nothing back, and never judge you because they've done some crazy things too. It just feels SO good to have such amazing new friends this year.... It feels like we've known each other for a lifetime.

Cute pic! Good friends - can't get any better than that! How lucky one is to have those special people in one's life! As to the "girlfriend bond" - - every girl should have at least one super good friend and hopefully more! :)
