My best friends, back in the day.

So, I'm in California now! I am pretty excited about it! However, I know that I am going to miss my girls from back home! These girls have helped me through a HORRIBLE marriage, a divorce, counseling, a chocolate business, a rocky relationship, boot camp, MCT, MOS schooling, doctor visits and so much more!  We have seen each other through heartache, headache, stress, hate, love, tears of joy, tears of pain, tears of sorrow, lost grandparents, found loves, unrequited loves, sin, addiction, WAY too old guys, WAY too young guys, hopes, fears, dreams, crazy ex boyfriends, ugly ex husbands, dogs, cats, arch rivals, boot camp and soon to be MCT and MOS school. I love my girls more than anyone ever could and I know they love me, too. I know, without a shadow of a doubt that any one of my friends would take a bullet for me and I would do the same thing for any of them. Love isn't always a lot of work... Sometimes love just finds you, picks you up and holds you close, until you can stand on your own. I want to think my little sisters for doing that for me. Now, it's my turn to hold you girls up. I love you all very much and my life would never have been the same without you. You girls are the ones that I will have for my whole life and I couldn't be more thankful for you. I love you.


Xoxo -

My best friends today, forever and always.

Well, this last few days have been the most hectic of my life!  Now, after all of the packing and all of the people starting drama...  I am on my way to be with the man of my dreams!  How exciting!  A new chapter in our life together!  I will be there on Wednesday!  Just thought I'd share! :)
