I can still remember that day, watching my parents leave and realizing I was in a new state, a new college, and i didn't know a soul. I wanted my parents to come back and take me home. But God knew better. He knew that in ten years i would be sitting here, writing about my two best friends. I have learned so many times in my life that even though things may look rough and you really want to just run and hide, sometimes God has different plans, and if we trust Him, the outcome is amazing. Girls, i wish i had some of the pics to post on here of us back in the day. We sure were crazy. I will never forget our trip to the mall that first week. The glazed donuts and milk, pooh (enough said), wine coolers, oh i could go on and on. Somedays it seems like so long ago, and other times it seems like yesterday. I can't believe we have gone through college, three wedding and four births. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us all. You two have been by my side for all the most important moments in my life and also the ones that weren't important, but the times i needed you the most. I know i can call on you two at any time for any reason and you'll lend an ear; and if needed hop a plane or say a prayer. I can count my dearest friends on one hand, the ones that are "real friends" and you guys are there. Distance has taken us apart, then brought us back together and then apart again. I miss you guys immensly at times, yet i feel so lucky to know that with "real friends" distance is nothing. You guys are my family and my dearest friends, I love you guys so much and i can't wait to see what the next ten years has in store for us. Oh yeah, let's get planning that beach trip!!!

You made me cry! All happy tears, though, because I have been blessed with the two best friends a girl could wish for. Here's to 50 more years of donuts and wine coolers! :) I will have to post one of those crazy mall pics on our blog soon... or maybe the one's of us as "jail birds" that one year for halloween :). Love and miss you so much!!!

Yep, I too may have shed a tear reading this... its been a decade packed full of fun, adventure, tears, weddings, funerals, trips, baby showers, hospital waiting rooms, bachelorette parties, clubing, hangovers, long phone calls, late nights, study sessions (rememebr when we all said screw it and failed Mr. Kutz's final exam?), car accidents, babies, airplane trips, laughter...I can go on and on...Its true, you guys have been there for me through thick and thin, and I know you will for the next stages of life...thanks amanda!
