These girls are starting their Freshmen year today.  So, it's only fitting I share their little session.  I have been wanting to do a session like this for some time and I have watched these young ladies grow up through Facebook.  I went the same school with some of their mothers.

It was intentional for me to have girls that were starting their Freshman year and even more important for me to have a group of girls who were close friends.  I plan to follow these girls the next four years and watch them change and grow.  I don't mean just physically, but to see their personalities grow and mature.

I have two very best friends that I have had from elementary school. And I cherish these two girls with all of my heart.  Though I have made friendships that are dear to me through out my life and adventures.  These two girls know all about me and where I come from and share things with me from my past that no one else can truly understand unless they were there living it with me.  We've cheered each other on in triumphs and held each other up in heartache and loss. No matter if we were living miles apart or states apart, we still kept in touch and continued to be there for each other.

It's my hopes for these girls that they will carry each other through all the good and bad that comes with growing up together in a small town. And that they will cheer for each other as they move onto different stages in their lives.  

Girlfriends are a gift from God.  We should lift one another up and never tear the other down.  I can't wait to watch these beautiful girls grow up.  Keep an eye out because more from these beauties is to come in the near future.  And maybe a few peeks of those two girls I grew up with and love so much and call my best buds. ;)
