Framily

There are so many things that I want to teach my little lady. And so many more that I don't even know about yet. But one thing is for certain besides having manors and being humble, I want her to know how important it is to have friends. 

Like solid, good hearted, call any time friends.

I've had the other kind too. The kind when you think you can trust them and they decide to screw you over, or the kind that walk out and never call again. 

Not those kinds. Those are the shitty kind of 'friends' and, unfortunately you will have a lot more of the shitty in- and out kind of friends. There is nothing wrong with trying to make new friends either. New friends can turn into those best kinds of friends but, always be careful of who you trust and let in. Shitty friends suck. 

But I'm not here to talk about the crappy things in life I'm trying to take positive steps forward. Sometimes you gotta cha-cha a little bit, but always facing forward. 

I'm here to talk about my amazing best friends. The ladies that have so much to do with me growing into the mature, loving, whole-hearted woman that I have become. Besides Mr. King there are not a lot of people that I let inside this crazy mind of mine. But these ladies have had my heart and mind long before I fell in love. 

They knew me when I was that weird new girl in the awkward pre-teen years. They stuck by me through some of the hardest moments in my life. Boys, booze, lies and alibis. Proms, cheerleading camps, sleep overs and long nights. Bus rides, lost drives, beaches and campgrounds. Graduation, college, roommates, glitter and golds 

They are the kinds of friends that when you are having an incredibly shitty day. Like the kind when your one car you share with your husband blows up. Dies. 100 miles after factory warranty kinda dead.  

Well without asking that friend shows up while I was balling my eyes out sitting on my front step. But not only does she show up. She shows up with a big bottle of wine. And drinks it with me while I cry. Until past midnight when she has to work in the morning. And knows just what to say to make everything just a little bit better. 

Those are the kinds of friends you want to keep.

There is also the best kind of friend, where life happends and you don't get to see them as often as you want, but when you do it's like time stopped and there was never a two year gap between visits. I have an amazing friend who is so dear to my heart. I met her in college and we are like soul friends. She has such an old soul, and is so fun loving. When we are together, I don't need to say anything - to say everything. Oh just thinking about her makes me so happy. 

I'm sure you have heard the saying that you find your true friends when you start having kids. My golly that is true. These are the ladies that have stuck by me long before I was a mommy, and have helped me learn to be one. They are the ones I trust with the life of my little lady. I can call on a moments notice and they can always be there. I couldn't say enough about them. Literally love them with my whole heart. It's funny, the things that you realize as you get older. The importance of friends is definetly one of them. 

Friends are the Family you choose and I couldn't be more proud of my fun- loving amazing little- family.
