My girls

I think most women have it. That group of girls. Maybe from college, high school, elementary school, neighbors, church, etc. No matter how much time has passed, how little you've talked in the past year, they're still your "girls." Maybe not besties any more, but those girls, they know you, in a way that no other girl friends will ever know you.

My girls are from elementary school with a few additions made in the early years of high school. Every Christmas Kimmie (who I've now been friends with for the past 16 or 17 years) has her birthday and every year there's the annual sleepover. We all know to get together at Kimbo's house and there will probably be an overabundance of food, snacks, treats, movie watching, movie making, dancing, talking...etc.

It's interesting to see how we've changed and how we've stayed the same. I love that these girls have known me almost my entire life and have seen me go through all of the ups and downs and changes that come along with that. It grounds me, reminds me of who I am and where I've been.

The Forkner Blondes : ) Cayce and I were in the same 1st grade class and Kimmie was in our second grade class. We always have to take a picture of the 3 of us when we're together.
Mama Kelly. I don't know how she slept through the countless sleepovers with music blaring and us screaming until the wee hours of the morning.

I don't chat with my girls often enough, but they're still my girls and I can't imagine my life without them.
