Weekend Reads: Let's hear it for the girls!
I was in Austin last weekend celebrating a friend's wedding and had such an amazing time. When I hang with my best girls, it just reminds me how lucky I am to have friends like mine--fun, silly, smart, serious, independent, crazy, and they love me and I love them. It's such a great feeling. We talked about everything--work, school, kids, husbands, friends, politics, religion, love, homes, life, cars... you name it, we talked about it. Girlfriends are seriously the best. I feel so tremendously lucky to have found my girls and to have them in my life.
