love these girls...

This week I got to spend a good amount of quality time with some of the girl friends in my life. Three of my closest college girlfriends came to Costa Mesa for lunch at my house on Thursday. It is always so good to catch up with these girls who know so much about me... the good, the bad, the goofy... and still love me. We are in pretty different places in life, but when we are together, it is safe and comforting. I know that I can always count on them to listen and to pray for me. I did miss one though, who doesn't live close enough to drive here for lunch, but who is never far from my thoughts. On Friday, I went shopping with Alison. I met Al only a year ago and I am so thankful for our instant friendship. I can't even imagine my life in Costa Mesa without her in it. It is such a blessing to have someone to go through the day to day with... and to get sloshed with ;) I also hung out with some of the CrossFit Costa Mesa girls... these girls have become my community, especially over the past several months as we have started doing more things together. We talk about our workouts and new paleo recipes we've tried, and we laugh a lot. My life without these girls would be slightly less interesting and slightly more lonely. And of course there is Pi, whom I didn't really get to choose as a girlfriend... but if we weren't sisters, she would be that cool girl that I always wanted to like me, so I really lucked out there. All this to say, it was a good week... because of all of the incredible, beautiful, inspiring ladies in my life. I love you girls.
