I'm taking a break from sharing my new invitation designs in order to pay a quick tribute to two dear friends.
A girlfriend of mine flew in from the great (COLD!) northwest over the weekend and we hit the town with another childhood friend for a fun girls' night out. It's been a long time since the three of us have had a chance to hang out (sans our significant others) and the hours of chatter and laughter seemed to fly by in a matter of seconds.
I've known these women for about 25 years and there's something so comforting about being around old friends. There's no pretentiousness when you're around people who remember every schoolgirl crush, every embarassing haircut, every trial and tribulation that molded and shaped your life. There are just lots of "remember whens" followed by endless giggles. At a certain point during the evening, I looked at my two friends and felt a rush of nostalgia so strong that it nearly took my breath away. It seemed like just yesterday we were making up code names for the boys we liked and passing notes to each other in class...yet here we are now wearing grown up clothes, working at grown up jobs, making grown up decisions, settling into our grown up lives with our grown up husbands (and soon-to-be husbands).
We've come a long way, baby...
