I don't know about you but I think that winter is the prettiest season. Okay, I'm kidding. Fall is the prettiest season... but nothing can beat being snowed in with your best friends.

Where I'm from, Mr. Jonas (the snowstorm, not Nick Jonas, unfortunately) made his appearance on Thursday in Lynchburg, Virginia.

Mr. Jonas got us all out of class on Friday, which was the perfect start to a weekend with the girls.

Here is my list of ive reasons why getting snowed in with your best friends isn't bad after all.

1. That's like three wine nights in a row. (Jack Daniels if you're Sarah.)

This weekend I drank wine with my best friends as we cooked delicious food and had an endless dance party. Wine results in happy Shay, which is good for everyone. We had heart-to-hearts about life and we gave each other a little bit of love that we didn't know that we needed.

2. Every day is a movie marathon.

Everyone loves a good movie... especially the movies that relate just to how close you actually are to each other.

3. Food. Lots of food.

Snow days equal good food. We cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner. We even made desert too. Cooking gives everyone time to bond with each other while still getting to eat. We also didn't have to walk all the way to the caf and pay for it. Instead, everyone pitched in and had a great meal and great bonding time.

4. Cuddle sessions followed by gossip sessions.

Laying around in bed all day watching movies is fun, but being able to talk to your friends (and I mean actually talk) makes all the difference. You can talk all about boys, the different people in your class, and about how life has really been going. It seems that we all get caught up in our everyday lives and forget to sit down and talk to each other. This weekend brought us that much closer.

5. Playing in the snow means snowball fights, snow angels and snow pictures.

These are the lovely ladies I call my best friends. Thanks for spending this snow weekend with me. Thanks for never judging my love for wine, food and being weird. I don't know if I would have made it through this weekend without you all keeping me safe and always being down for adventures. I love you all. I had so much fun with all of you this weekend and I love you all very much.

So, if you're weary of having a snowy weekend in with your girls, don't be. All will be well with lots of wine, food, gossip and a little of mother nature.

After all, the best things that we have in life are each other.
