Friends, past & present...

Lets see, Helen and I have been friends since about 1st or 2nd grade. She married her high school sweetheart as well. We still get together & talk and our kids play together. Then we added Tracy & Lisa to our group. Tracy and I talk every couple of days. We went through preg'cy together. Her little boy is 4 mos older than Kylie. Lisa lives a few minutes north of Memphis now with her hubby and 2 girls. We talk a couple of times a year when she comes home to visit her mom. Funny thing is we all grew up in a farming community but Lisa and I used to dream about getting the hell outta this town and going somewhere like LA or NYC. But like Barb said, men & relationships complicate your future plans. So here we are living in our hometown, married to our high school sweethearts. Isn't that shit the stuff American dreams are made of? lol!
I started working at my company when I was 19 and well almost 14 years later, friends come & go at work. My supervisor and I have been friends for over 12 years and while we still get together and talk it's just not the same since she's my supervisor now. Somehow business always gets in the way of friendships. Can't completely trust friends who are coworkers too. kwim?
And that brings us to my fellow LIPS members. As I said before you guys are like the sisters I never had. We may not agree with each other 100% but we love each other unconditionally. I have blood related family members that I don't feel that way about. In fact you guys are closer to me and know more about the REAL me than my IRL friends & family. And you still love me anyway. LMAO!

I don't know what I'd do without you guys either & hope I never have to find out! :)
