When you’re newly single and move 150 miles from your family, you quickly learn that your friends can become your family too.
Such was the case over these past 7 months.
I wasn’t NEW to this community – I had been here 7 years prior…it was simply that I was coming back under different circumstances, with new plans, new goals & new hopes. Quite frankly, I was coming back after 18 months away to start a brand new life.

Dyana and Kristi have breathed life and laughter into my world since the day I came back.
We love cupcakes and pinterest and squats and laughing. We love working hard and texting and coffee and emojis. We love talking about boys and writing hashtags and meeting at Zorbaz.

Dyana and Kristi: Simply put, I DO NOT know what Clara & I would do without you. Thank you for being my dear friends. Thank you for the late night texts that are capable of drying tears, and the random mid-day Pins & jokes that are extremely inappropriate yet have me doubled over in laughter. Thank you for the runs and the races, the dinner dates and play dates. You girls are my people and I am grateful. You are 2 strong, beautiful, and capable women and I count my lucky stars I get to call you friends.
