Good times with Old Friends

Last weekend, we took the whole gang up to a wedding in Atlanta. One of my old college roomates was getting married, and I hadn't seen her since my own wedding almost five years ago. My oldest and bestest friend offered to let us stay with her and bring our dogs. Now this might not seem like such a big sacrifice to you, but it should because she has three cats. Everytime we get our broods together, it's like WWIII. You see, Charlie loves cats, but cats DO NOT love Charlie. And Charlie has a thick skull and just doesn't get it and just won't leave well enough alone! So she actually offered to put her cats in the basement for the weekend just so that we could come up and stay. Before you get upset, let me add that it's a finished, daylight basement, so hopefully the cats didn't have it too hard.



So, we went to the wedding, and I saw several people that I haven't seen in about eight years. It was great to reconnect and find out where everyone ended up. I have to say that I was surpised with who married whom and everyone's career choices. At the reception, I hung out with three of my best friends in the world. All of whom happen to be hilarious in my opinion. I'm that girl that everyone wants to hang out with if they need to feel funny. I love to laugh, and typically, I don't have a problem finding something to giggle about. But, when I'm with these girls, I feel like I belly laugh the entire time. It's just one funny thing after another, and what a great feeling. I ride the endorphin high, and it takes me days to come down. And isn't that what girlfriends are all about? Don't get me wrong...we all need a significant other that we can have a blast with. But, there's something special about just cutting loose with your girlfriends. It's unexplainable. I'm just so happy to have those girls in my life. No matter how long its been since I've seen them last, we have a ball together and pick up just where we left off. In my opinion, that's what true friendship is all about.
