Girlfriends are a necessity and I’ve been fortunate to have a core group of friends built in since high school, and one of those girls has been my best friend since elementary school.  I also found an equally amazing group of fun-loving girls in college that I’ve continued to be close to even though we’re all scattered across the country.  Since 2017 was a milestone year as most of us turned thirty, I thought it would be fun to reflect on what a great trip around the sun it was and how much I love these girls.

(The picture above is actually from the kick-off party to our wedding weekend!  It was so much fun having my friends, old and “new”, together by my side for all of our wedding events.  This picture was taken almost four an a half years ago and I’m happy to report that each of these women are still dear friends.  I am just so grateful for my squad.)
