the trio

A, K, and I have been best friends since we were 11 years old. now as we embark on our 30th birthdays (actually i just had mine) i wanted to take a minute(or hour) to reflect back on our friendship. i still remember the first time we met, clear as day,like it was yesterday. i met A first. i remember walking into english class and scanning the room for a friendly face( i was new to the school and did not have any friends yet) i thought she looked nice and pretty and i decided to take a chance and sit next to her. little did i know how that seemingly small decision would shape my life. we instantly hit it off and were pretty much inseperable from then on. A had met K that year at her church and they were best friends, so naturally she wanted us to meet so we could all be one happy family. well unfortunately that first meeting was horrible and to make a long story short ( those who know us already know this story and are tired of it :P ) we eventually became friends. from then on we were a trio, surviving adolescence, first boyfriends, kisses, disappointments,and triumphs. this brings me to my point here, i cannot imagine my life without these two ladies. i don't think most people understand our bond. we are more than friends we are sisters,we are family. can you imagine sharing every secret, every tear ,every first ,every everything with someone from the time you were 11 and still having those people in your life.
