Sex and the Beach

It isn't often that one can find a group of girlfriends who are truly so diverse, but through thick and thin will be there for one another no matter what; I am lucky enough to say that I have found that group of friends. We are all so different but we connect with one another on all different levels. We all know that no matter what is going on in each of our lives, we would all drop whatever it is to be there for one another. The brilliant Jenny came up with the idea to meet up once a month, no matter what, and all come together (Thanks Jen!), and this week was the first in our monthly girls brunch, lunch or dinner dates. We have all been so busy living life that we can't all find time to get together and months would pass and then someones birthday would pop up and then we could all come together, which is horse shit, so this is a way to stay connected and be like the girls on Sex and the City, but of course with our own flare. This month we met at James Beach in Venice which was oh so yummy! I got to see the wonderful Erica feeling overwhelmed trying to set up for a large party, but it is always nice to see a sweet soul. Anyhow, back to the lunch: I had such a good time laughing, gossiping and remembering old times. We have built so many memories over these 9 years and I know that we will continue to do so. I was looking at my girls and thinking to myself, "these are the girls that my children will grow up around and these are the girls I will be sitting with in 60 years when our hair is that awful purple from dying it ourselves." I am grateful for these three girls: Jenny, Natalie and Katie, thank you for being the greatest friends a girl could ever ask for.
