Blondie Tells All: My girls!

Yesterday, I introduced you to my man and today I am going to introduce the girls in my life. These women help keep me in line (which is no easy task) and at the same time give me the encourangement and love I need to make it through life. I have no clue where I would be without any of them. I am so blessed to have kept these few best friends for the past several years. I know some women go through friends like they do clothing, but I cherish these deep rooted friendships and I am so thankful that they keep blossoming as we grow older.

First, I will introduce you to my best friend, Ash. She is an absolute goofball and such a ball of energy. She walks into a room and lights it up with her smile and her joyus personality. She has more perseverance than any other person I know and she is an inspiration to everyone who meets her. I met Ashley the summer before 9th grade at band rehersal...yes, we were in the band. I will never forget that day and I often remind her about how hideously she was dressed, Ha! It didn't take long for us to realize that we would soon become inseperable. She was definitely my partner in crime throughout high school; although I wouldn't really say partner in crime because she was definitely a goody good girl and she probably kept me from getting into a lot of trouble! We made a pact that we would be each other's Maid of Honor's whenever the time came to get married, and this past December I had the privilage and the honor of fulfilling those duties.

The second lady I am going to introduce you to is Brittan. I have always considered her one of my good friends, but over the past couple of years we have become very close. We also met in band, and I swear we weren't your typical band geeks in high school. We did have a life outside of it! We were on colorguard together my sophomore and junior year, her junior and senior year. We were constantly finding our way into some kind of mischievousness, and everyone seemed to blame everything on us two. Brittan is by far the funniest human being you will ever meet. She always has me laughing, and I swear she knows every YouTube video there is. She is the kindest, most geniune, and down to earth person I know. I like to refer to Brittan as my Barbie friend, for obvious reasons. She also fishes for FLW...how cool is that?

The last lady I am going to introduce you to is Jan. She is actually Tyler's mother and in the years Ty and me have been together we have grown extremely close. We definitely do not have your typical MIL and DIL relationship & I thank God for that. She is one of the few people in this world that I can be my absolute & total self in front of. There are no walls up when I am around her. She has seen my crazy and she has seen my sad and she loves me the same. She has such a giving heart to everyone around her; she would literally go without just so someone wouldn't. We always have an absolute blast rather we are at a concert, out to eat, or sitting at home. There is never a dull moment when we are together and people often refer to us as the Dynamic Duo. We, all the time, are asked if we our mother and daughter and if drives Tyler absolutely crazy. I must say sometimes it freaks me out how much we are alike in so many different ways
