Today I am going to tell you the story of how I met my 3 best friends.
Growing up I went to the same school from Kinder all the way through my Sophmore year. I lived in a tiny town so it was the same 45-50 kids for 11 years. I decided I wanted to homeschool the middle of that year, so I did.
I moved in with my dad in the middle of my Junior year and I decided I wanted to go back to public school. Sadly the local school refused to acknowledge any of my Homeschool credits, but the local alternative school would. I had to go there for a semester. I collected so many credits that I could have graduated after only being there one semester but my dad told me that was absolutely NOT an option.
I am so glad he did. The summer between Junior and Senior year I started working at Wal-Mart. That’s where I met Tiffany. She was also about to start her Senior year and we instantly became friends. When school started she introduced me to her friends Sarah and Amanda and the 4 of us became inseparable. It was the best year ever.
I was actually with Sarah when I had my wreck. She was the one driving. She was not responsible for the accident. You can read that story here.
I moved back to my Mom’s after the wreck and no longer saw MY GIRLS every day. We went from living a few minutes apart to living many hours apart. It was quite an adjustment.
We started this tradition of always taking pictures together when we did get together and through the years we did our best to add our kids to the photos. It didn’t always work out but I will always cherish these photos. We have all grown from 1 kids to 2-3 kids and we have not ALL gotten together if many years. I am beyond sad about this.
That brings me to this weekend. I was able to see Tiffany and just like best friends everywhere, we picked up as if no time had passed and with that I leave with some of our pictures through the years. I think 1-2 may be missing.
The first picture is from this weekend, with just Tiffany and I . We were talking and decided we need to plan a regular 4-some reunion. It’s been far too long, but thank goodness for texting and Facebook.
I love that you guys became such good friends and kept in touch as you grew up!
There is nothing better than having girlfriends that even if you don’t see them regularly you can pick up with and keep going like no time has passed. That is a true friendship and those are hard to find!!
You are so blessed to have such great girlfriends. I no longer live where I grew up, so my BFF lives so far away now. Great pics, too! 😀

I too have a fondness for friends from my childhood or high school. They have seen you through all those awkward years and nothing beats that shared history. Just brilliant.

I always say that best friends are those that you can go long months without seeing, and feel like nothing ever changes between you!

It’s always so interesting to me how things that happen and choices we make really do have an impact on who we become (and who we stay close to) when we are older. Love the photo walk down memory lane too!

You guys have a very special bond. I don’t have friends from childhood, but my husband has two he’s been friends with since kindergarten. They’ve shared every major moment and one lives around the corner from us.
