Best Friends Forever

Last month, I got together with a group of girls I grew up with. It's too bad we couldn't round up all our long lost friends. We had dinner together and chatted for a couple of hours. It was nice to catch up!

I have known Bibi, Rachel and Keri since I was eight. We grew up in the same ward (yeah Barrio 33rd!!!!) and went to junior high and high school together. We were pretty much inseparable! I met Keri's cousin, Patti in high school and hadn't seen her since then.

We have gotten together for other reunions in the last several years. We have such a fun time together and pick up right where we left off! Even though we don't see each other on a daily basis anymore, I am thankful for these friendships. All these people helped me become the person I am today!
