Woohoo Sarah got engaged!!! Finally!! Granted, she has already been planning the wedding but now it's official! Also, I've been given the most flattering and amazing job of matron of honor. I've been given that honor only once before and it was for Lauren's wedding.
I've talked about these two girls before but I feel like I should do it again. It took me awhile to realize and understand the meaning quality vs. quantity. I think, no, I know I had no confidence in high school. I desperately wanted and needed to be liked. I was not the popular girl but I wasn't a social outcast but some of the friends I kept would just bring me down. I came to Millsaps and was abused a little by my freshman roommate but I also did the most amazing thing I could have done for myself. I became a Chi Omega. Don't get me wrong-I'm not obsessed with my sorority or will care if Madison goes to another one but I finally met some girls that liked me for me and accepted me. I truly found myself and I owe it to mostly Lauren. There were others like Claire, Anna Kathryn, Liz, Katie and Caroline but Lauren and I were meant to meet each other. I became very confident and happy with who I was as a person. I'm loud, hyper, talkative and I say a lot of offhand comments but I now feel like you either like me or don't and if you don't, you can suck it! 😜
I graduated with my masters, got married and was whisked away to Memphis,TN. I entered unknown territory and I could feel my insecurities creeping back in. I was super lucky to receive an amazing advisor in Grace. However, Sarah was sitting next to me and I don't know why but it took us a bit to start talking. However, the minute we did, I saw fireworks!! We are truly the same person in different bodies. The fact that we worked together and saw each other every day for 2 years and never got annoyed is a testament to our friendship. I also think its because we can accept each other and we don't judge the other person's crazy (even though I think she's crazier than me hahaha). I the made the decision to leave public accounting and leave my sweet Sarah behind. I was truly nervous our friendship would be strained. But we both worked at keeping in touch and we don't have to talk every day but when we do talk, it's as if we saw each other the day before. She is my soul sister and I'm so happy for her and I can't wait to stand next to her on big day. She's found a good one (like trey, Michael can handle the crazy). I just can't wait to see her life blossom with the start of her family. I love you Sarah!!!
