After years of trial play dates, friendships fading, and misfortunate placement with the wrong crowd, I have finally found my people. The perfect girl gang. The ultimate balance of beauty, brains, and golden hearts. The type of people who I know will be by my side always, through good and bad, through shining moments and failures, I know they have got my back.

My closest girlfriends, I believe, are the type of people you don't find every day. They are few and far between, and I feel extremely blessed to have ended up with a group of friends who are as close, or if not closer to me than my family. Of course, I have to give them a shout out.

You guys, hey, I just wanted to first and foremost say thank you. Thank you for being the most badass group of women to walk this planet. You are not only hard working and some of the toughest people I know, but you also have that soft spot that you know I so dearly love.

Thank you for being brutally honest with me when I need it most, and also being the most comforting shoulder to cry on when I feel like nothing will get better. (It always does). Thank you for the endless arm rubs and back massages when I'm feeling stressed out, and the nights we stay up forever just talking about life.

You guys are the reason I fall in love with life every day. Thank you for the endless supply of clothing, because when we go shopping, it's "for all of us." Thank you for laughing at my jokes when no one else will, because no one understands our humor. Seriously, I think I might pop a rib one day laughing at our stupid jokes.

Along with that, thank you for being spontaneous with me and going on adventures, doing things that people will look at us and say we are crazy for, but I don't care because I have you. Thank you for the countless dance parties in my kitchen, in public, and anywhere we see necessary. I can honestly say no one breaks it down like we do.

Thank you for listening to me, understanding me, respecting me, and loving me. There is so much more I could thank you for, but these are some of my favorites.

You guys are the most beautiful people I have ever met, inside and out, and I wouldn't trade your friendship for the world. If I ever need someone, I don't fret because I know at the touch of a button I can hear your voice. No matter how much distance, or how many obstacles we may face, I know we we will make it out in the end. Now on a less serious note, whose house are we staying at this weekend?

I LOVE YOU,

Liv
