rare but exceptional...

this year it became apparent that friends certainly come and go.so awhile back my best friend posted this great quote about what defines a best friend.honestly all the petty stuff doesn't matter in the long run,but what does matter is consistently being there for one another and more importantly allowing someone to always be there for you.

“What defines a best friend? What are the requirements to be a good best friend? How many hours a week does it entail? Stupid questions that have no answers. A best friend is not defined by how many times they talk on the phone, or how many hours they hang out together. It is not defined by how many sleepovers they gossip at, or how many inside jokes they have. There are no requirements or laws that state that a good best friend must hang out with them every weekend, or tell each other every little detail. A best friend is a matter of opinion. It is the person who has been there for you through everything, not just through the fun things, or the little things. It is the person that you call when you are at your absolute worst, it is the person who saves you when you didn’t even notice that you needed saving,
mostly it is the person who accepts you for who you are, and the person that you are becoming.”

the best.

"The lives that have been the greatest blessing to others are very often the lives of those people who themselves were unaware of having been a blessing. *** Oswald Chambers

bittersweet summer.

Kristen's going away party is a bittersweet ending to summer...I'm so bummed to not to have my best in AZ anymore, but I'm so proud of her for following her heart and dreams! There's not a doubt in my mind that she isn't going to kick-ass.

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." - Henry David Thoreau.

pizza ria mamma mia..

Nothing is better than this, a summer afternoon with your best friends!!

for life.

"Every now and then, we find a special friend, who never lets us down, who understands it all, reaches out each time I fall. You’re the best friends that I found. I know you can't stay, but part of you will never ever go away. I'll make a wish for you and hope it will come true; that life will be kind to such a gentle mind. And if you lose your way, think back on yesterday. Remember me this way."--

at last.

It's been way to long,excited to spend time with my bests!

Happy Friendship Day!

once in a lifetime friend..

I've learned that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.“No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other's worth.”
