Friendship

This last weekend was my best friend Liz's birthday, so me and my other best friend, Shannon, traveled to the land of Fort Collins to celebrate with her. Despite the snowy drive back to the springs today, it was a wonderful weekend and my tired eyes and weak body are the proof of it as I sit here reflecting on the memories we created. It consisted of some dancing, random jokes, slap happy nights, pore strips, weird and uncomfortable sleeping arrangements, a bit of fighting, late breakfasts, mariokart, beautiful night views on a bridge, singing to our favorite songs, birthday cake, and "oh shoot the weekend went to fast" tears at the end. My favorite part though-- the laughter. And there was LOTS of it. Although laughter is a part of every day of my life, there are a select few people in this world who get me laughing to the point of crying, at a state of paralysis, unable to breathe, and coming close to peeing my pants. My best friends are two of these people. It is in these moments that we are rolling around uncontrollably as other people sitting in the room are exchanging odd glances towards each other that I think to myself, "No matter how hard life gets, no matter how many obstacles and challenges that I have to face, as long as I have my best friends in my life, one thing is for sure, I will laugh." This year of experiencing seperation from them due to this silly, unworthwhile thing they describe as getting an education (a.k.a. college), has pushed and pulled our friendship in ways that we never knew it could go. Yet, we have found that it has only brought us closer while making the times that we are able to be together that much more memorable and special. I know this is not the first time that we will experience being far away from each other, and there will be many more times in our lives when our friendship is tested as we go through this journey of life. I am positive that as long as we have the kind of laughter that we have when we're together, we're sure to make it. Thank you God, for giving me the greatest friends in the world, and the moments of uncontrollable laughter that we have together.

Everyday is a favorite day when I'm with my best friends :D
