Diana from Hormonal Imbalances and I have been friends for a very long time. Since we were six years old. She invited me to go to church with her and we were attached at the hip for the next two years until her family moved away 🙁 We have told the story before here and here if you’re interested.
ANYWAY, we are having a good time and I just thought I’d take a moment to reflect on the special bond that is a girlfriend and share it with you.
There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that compares to the time spent with another woman whether reminiscing, talking about a shared interest or absolutely nothing of any importance, laughing, or goofing around! Women (sorry guys), especially mothers, have a special bond that is just ONE OF A KIND. Spending time with my girlfriends soothes my soul, makes me laugh, takes away all my stress, and makes me feel like I’m five years old again. AND, by far, my favorite time is the special time spent with my mom and sister (my BEST girlfriends).
I am spending this week with my Colorado girlfriends and I am looking forward to EVERY.SINGLE.SECOND!
P.S. – check out Diana’s McFatty Monday post if you haven’t already!
This post made me think of my two best friend’s, who live in the NW US. I hate being so far from them, but despite the physical distance, there really isn’t anything like that bond.
(And you are right about it being a woman thing. My rather sensitive hubs tells me that he is jealous of how women connect like that.)
I totally agree 🙂 Also, I think my husband’s a little jealous of that too!
<3 It's been a great two days. 🙂 Very special.

This post also made me think of my best friends and how lucky i am to have several best friends that we would equally do anything for one another. I know people that are not as fortunate to be surrounded by true friends. Maybe it’s because i am a only child and have really worked at forming and maintaining friendships. I have that exact same experience, where I turn into a 5 year old with excitement at seeing my girlfriends. Just yesterday i set up a lunch date with a friend i have not seen in a while and i was bubbling with excitement. I think it is different for guys. They can not have communication with there guys friends for months or years and then see each other over a holiday and they are as good as friends as ever. I find it very fascinating.
