not this cute anymore!
I have the best group of girlfriends anyone could ask for. We have been BFF's for a long time and we have been through the good-- the bad-- and the ugly together... jr. high, boyfriends, dance concerts, student government, putting a baby up for adoption, vacations, getting engaged and married, getting divorced, death of parents, being pregnant, miscarriages, having children, a step daughter, bad health situations, marriage issues, getting through college, owning businesses, buying homes, .... it's been quite a journey, and we are going to be taking cruises together when we're wrinkly old widows!
I am SO grateful for these girls and what we have been through together. I believe we knew we were going to stay close throughout our lives but I wonder if we knew we would still be this close after ten years. After our graduation from high school, we sat around and made an audio tape of where we will be in 5-10 years. We laughed and talked about who would get married first, what our husbands would be like, what our goals were. We listen to that tape every time one of us gets married and it's hilarious.. but we can't tell who is saying what-- if only we could have had it on video! These girls have always been there for me and I would give anything for them in a time of need. How grateful I am for their friendship-- high school was so much better with them around!

I think that is SO great! I only wish I was still as close with my girls now as I was back then. I think it's amazing you've all been able to stay connected through the years and the changes.
I love that you're all still good friends 10 years later! Girls friends are the best!!
Thanks Janet. That was sweet. We have had some great times together! I don't think we knew we would still be so close 10 years laters. I always remember one of my aunts being surprised that we still got birthday gifts for each other after 5 years. She told me that will eventually stop. But not yet and I think we are all only getting closer as we experience more throughout our lives. I love you!
I love this post! Thanks for doing it, Janet. I have the best girlfriends! We've been through a lot, huh. I think Karlin is right, that we'll only get closer as time goes on. Hey, where is that tape? We'll need to pull it out for Azy's bridal shower. Love you, Janie, Karly, Aze, and Boobie.

Janet, when on earth did you do this post!? You just moved your entire family and all your belongings into storage, are living in a hotel, have had just about the craziest month I can imagine-- plus I was just around you all afternoon and did not see a computer in all that time! All I can say is dang girl...you've got skills (or a clone you're not telling us about).
All you girls are so dang cute, and yes after 8 years of being out of high school, I still look up to the older girls!
your friends are so cute, i am glad you have them, i don't know where i would be without them.
