I was in the sixth grade when I was invited to go to Girl Scouts. I had been in brownies, but my leader had moved away and I was looking for a new junior leader. It was then that I met Katie. Her mom the leader of our troop (and she soon became like a second mother to me), Katie was outgoing while I was kind of shy, she was nice and included me in things, and soon she invited me over to her house. Our birthdays are ten days apart, we both love the outdoors, and we both enjoy a good book. That was it, we were hooked and have been friends ever since. From summer camps, to neighborhood adventures, to reading/watching Harry Potter together, to rock climbing incidents, to moving to different states, to boyfriends and gossip, to Christmas breaks spent together I would not have picked a better girl to have by my side. Even though we now live 6 hours away from each other, when we get together it is like we still are in the same town. I can talk to her about anything and she is always so encouraging.
Wow ten years has gone by so super fast. In another ten years we are going to be 31 years old. That is not possible. We were not supposed to grow up. We were supposed to stay 11 together forever. However, I know that a part of our 11 year old selves are still with us. When we are 31 years old, probably married, maybe even with children, we are still going to be the crazy, fun, Katie and Sara. I love you girl and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for our friendship. Happy 10 years!!!!
Just us being us. It is so wonderful to have such a great and Godly girl to call my best friend.
Praying for all of you and hope that your journey is blessed on this beautiful Thursday.
