The 21st

My friend Heather is coming home the 21st! I have been excited since I found out. I can not wait to see her. My friend Jenna and I are planning to abduct her as soon as possible. I have no idea what we are doin yet but it will be fun. You know those friends you have that no matter how far apart you get from each other (even if it is across the globe) you always find a way to meet up again? Those friends who even if it has been forever when you meet up it is like nothing has changed? That is what it is like when I am with Heather, Alice and Jenna.

Heather is the wild child among the 4 of us. I swear to God if you dared her to parachute out of an airplane and into a giant bin of jell-o she would do it. Every crazy idea I have ever had has been fully backed by Heather. "Hey, Heather want to go skinny dipping? Ok!" No topic, question, idea, nothing is off limits when you talk to this girl. You think I am free? I got nothing on this girl.

Jenna is the loud one. Everyone always thinks she is the troublemaker but she isn't. She is just the comedian. I can not count the number of times this girl has had us all on our sides clutching our stomachs and gasping for air because she has made us laugh way too hard. She makes anything Heather and I can come up with twice as much fun because she is usually making us laugh and scream as we do it. I love when she gets excited because she talks really fast. So fast that you only catch every second or third word. She is so amazing when she is happy and so awesome at making everyone around her equally happy.

Alice is probably the most down to earth. This girl has your back. Fiercely loyal to all her friends. She is one of those people that can read the minds of everyone she is with. When you hang out with her you find that she can finish your sentences for you. She is awesome to have around when you are trying to say something but you can"t quite spit it out. She gets it. No matter how complicated you think it is, she gets it.

Put us all together in the same room (or car) and it is mass mayhem. Heather and I are throwing out crazy ideas, Jenna is talking fast and making us all laugh till we pee ourselves and Alice is finishing all the sentences we can't finish because Jenna is making us laugh so hard. It is loud and exciting. It is comforting too. We always have fun even if it is just rating about boys, parents or life in general.

That is the other thing about my friends. They have always been there for me. Jenna and I have spent nights up late talking to Heather online, all three at different schools, trying to comfort each other. I have driven to Augusta to see Alice to let her vent for a few hours in my car with me. I have called Jenna up to cry to her about my latest heart break on the phone. Heather and I have taken turns making each other comfort food.

I really am very lucky to have such amazing friends. I can not wait to be with them again.
