It amazes me how quickly things change. In a blink of an eye, I see 16 years of memories flash before me as I look at this photo of my niece. Her mother is one of my best friends and I’ve known her since I was 12 years old. Today, she is happily married with two kids of her own and living that ideal white picket fence lifestyle (which I totally love!). I’m at a point in my life where all my friends are getting married and having kids of their own and it’s a bit mind boggling when I think about it. Over the years, I have learned that life is strange and sometimes people grow to where feelings eventually change, but those who choose to stay in your life will continue to do so.  To my very best friends in the whole wide world, cheers to an amazing 16 years! I can’t wait to see what the future holds for us and the wonderful memories we will create in the process.
