I adore my friends.
They are honestly some of the nicest, most open, fun and friendly people I have ever known. One of things I love about my group of friends is that we accept anyone and make them feel welcomed. We're not like those little groups who are totally exclusive. Basically anyone can come and join our party.

So today my friend Gary had a Christmas party for us all at his house, and it was amazing. It really felt like we were all one big family, all 20+ of us squished against each other around Gary's tiny kitchen table. (P.S. Gary, your speech really was epic. Very, very cute.) The evening made me feel so warm and fuzzy inside. There's something about my friends that radiates togetherness. I know it sounds cheesey, but it's there. I can feel it. Especially during the times when we're all sitting down together, laughing and just soaking in each other's presence.

Shazia said it exactly right on Halloween when she said to me, "wow, your friends are so much fun. They're pretty amazing."
I know Shazia. I am so lucky.
