friends

my friends are the most important thing to me in the world... really, they are my family... we would do anything and everything for each other in a time of need... i love my tight knit group of friends... and i love how we include anyone who wants to chill with us... anyone and everyone is welcome...

but just like all families, we have our fights, our disagreements, our petty arguments... this summer has been hard on us all...

it should have been the happiest summer for us, really... 3 weddings, of the many that took place this summer, were in our family... 6 of us got married... they married their best friends... some of our closest friends found love in each other... beautiful, right?

this has been the most stressful summer... planning, traveling, preparing, fixing, and marrying... it has caused divisions among us... mainly between the brides, if we're honest... i'm not sure them living together before their weddings was such a good idea...

yet, we're family... and i cannot give up on us... no matter how much we fight and bicker over things, we're family...

i want to remember this time as it was... because, well, it'll be easy to look back at the weddings and think of the beauty of them... and i want to remember what we've learned from this summer... small simple weddings... elopement... little to no financial obligations on our friends (including traveling)... loving each other is more important than the small stuff... and celebration...

so i got my first speeding ticket today... i knew it was coming... i was just polite and took it... court date on Oct 21st...
