Keep your friends close

As I sit here, staring at the computer screen, desperately trying to think of something blog-worthy, and snacking on some rocky road ice-cream (yes, I am an emotional eater sometimes... don't judge me), it suddenly hit me. What is more blog-worthy then friends?? Nothing... am a right? So I want to post my closest friends on here... the ones I know I can be myself and not feel judged... the people I can't get mad at because I have so many important things to tell them. 

This is Amanda. My best friend I have known my whole life. And when I say "whole life" I mean it. Our families were friends before either of us were born. She is the inspiration behind my cupcake passion. She is an extremely talented writer, painter, candlestick maker..... OK that last one was made up... but it rhymed. haha. But I think her most amazing talent is that she is able to speak fluent "Lulu." "Lulu" is my language. Whenever I get overwhelmed, goofy, tired or excited, I start spouting off random words that even my own family cannot decipher. But Amanda has always been able to understand what I am desperately (though pathetically) trying to convey. She is my calm side. Whenever I start freaking out over unimportant things, she is always there to let me know that I will indeed get through alive. She is thoroughly amazing.... *understatement of the year*

This is Anna. She is my cousin/sister. I don't think it is possible for cousins to be closer in our relationship. (And in this picture, proximity) Lemme just say two words about Anna.... Nutella and Josh Groban. She introduced me to Josh Groban one fateful night. Let me just say it was the best night of my life. :) When he first started singing I was like "He's not that grea..... Woah... I take that back." Anna has since moved on to different genre's of music. (Traitor) Yes, I think Josh Groban is in genre all his own. I call it genre EPIC. She also introduced me to one of the greatest substances on the planet earth. NU-freaking-TELLA! We have since introduced Nutella to my other favorite substance... bacon. Anyways... back to Anna. We have shared some rough times together and she has always gotten my through them. I love ya Anna!

And last but certainly not least.... this is Tori. I swear she is my twin sister. Except for the fact that we look nothing alike... and have different parents. We share a passion for legwarmers, neon colors, 80's music, and we both are not embarrassed to be who we are=crazy. :) just fyi... in this picture we are bathing in yogurt if you wanted to know... Tori made me moving to Nashville bearable. Actually, I met her about four years after I moved, but I still was not over moving. We both moved away from our home-towns at age 10. She loves country music... specifically Scotty McCreery. :) She is a total planner while I am extremely spontaneous. She is working on me however. I have started using my planner AND responding to emails. :) Tori is totally like awesome. TOTALLY RAD. haha 80's...
