To my Hometown Girls,

Thank god for you! As Christmas break begins and we all start to make our way back home to each other I can not contain my excitement for our reunion. Here comes the sleepovers, everyone telling their first semester stories and secret santa that is never actually a secret.

But on the real, I've missed y'all. Being back together reminds me of memories we have made over the course of the years. The super cheesy and funny photoshoots we would have in each others back yards. The school dances we were so excited to get all dolled up for. The snow day sleepovers. Getting to exploring Europe together. The countless concerts, games, and shopping trips we have taken.

Y'all are my biggest supporters and my worst influences. But that is what friends are for right?

With all the good we have been through we have had bad to that we have still stuck out together. We have helped each other through heartbreak. We were each other's shoulder to cry on and are always prepared with the ice cream. We were each others family when our own were crumbling. we have had fights and fall out but always forgive in the end, something I'm thankful for.

Sometimes, I think about all the memories we have still yet to make. How exciting it will be to see us all get our dream jobs. Going to each others weddings in the years to come. Having families and living our best lives. How exciting is that? I wonder where we will all settle. Or if our kids will be friends.

I'll admit, going to college I was really scared to leave y'all. I knew i was never going to find friends like you girls. Then I realized I didn't have to, because I wasn't losing y'all.

Being away from each other is sad sometimes, but it makes the time we are home so much better. We lose track of time and talk until two in the morning. We laugh until our stomachs hurt. We eat way to much.

So here's to years more of sleepovers, friendsgivings, dip parties, college visits, wine nights, secret santas, road trips and laughs with my favorite girls.

I love you beaners!
