You know the expression "friends are the family you get to choose"? (I know, real corny). I had always heard this expression growing up, but never fully understood it until I got to college. Corny as it may be, it's so true - for 3 years during college, I got to live with eight girls that I can honestly say are my family, and who have a huge chunk of my heart. When people still want to be friends with you after they've seen your ugly side - you know the "let the tea kettle whistle for hours when others are sleeping-get really hangry-always running late-terrible at contributing to group chores" side, you know you've found some serious for-life friends.
With one of my best friends' bridal showers this weekend, I will get to see all of these beautiful friends of mine and I couldn't be more ecstatic. I'm looking forwarding to celebrating, laughing until I cry, reliving the glory days, and sharing life.
I totally know the feeling. I have a few groups of girlfriends and I always ask myself how they can put up with me when I'm so ridiculous sometimes! But that's how I know it's true friend love! Have fun at the shower!
