What is a friend?

There is nothing better in the world than sharing your birthday with good friends...

I always have fun when I get together with my friends... lots of laughs. My sides always hurt for a couple days after spending time with the girls, but this time was special; extremely special. Not just because of the surprise factor, but it made me realize who my true friends are.

What is a friend? To me, it is someone that you can tell your deepest, darkest secrets to, and they still like you anyway. Someone who welcomes each other's company and exhibits loyalty towards each other. It is someone that is there for you no matter what the time, the weather, the day and is selfless enough to be there no matter what is going on in their own life. It is someone that takes a small gesture and turns it into something bigger than you will ever know. It is someone that surprises you with "35" things that make you smile. I realized last Thursday that the 7 girls that came to enjoy a wonderful dinner and great company are my true friends and I will love them always.... no matter what.

So, to sum up our Thursday Girls Night Out...

Waiting for a table for far too long - Annoying
Having a mother and friends that know exactly what to say – awesome!
First round of drinks, 2 appetizers for the table and desserts for everyone - $0
Spending time with the people I love, Priceless!

And now to make plans with the other friends that love me....
Hey Michelle..... let's make a date, girlfriend - I miss you!
