Top 2 Things I've learned about friendship:
1. Real friends will stick with you through anything. They may not always agree with you (and they may tell you all about it) and you may have your arguments, but regardless, when it counts they are always there. No distance, person, situation can come between true friends. It is the tough times that truly prove to you who those true friends are.
2. You do not have to like your friend's friends, your husband's friends, your friend's significant others, etc. Sure, it makes things easier on everyone if you do, but the reality is- sometimes people just clash! In some cases, you can try your hardest to be friends with someone because you feel like you should be, but in the end, it's not meant to happen...and that's ok. The important thing is that you respect these relationships, you don't make that person choose sides, and you don't speak negatively of them. On that same note, you also don't have to dislike someone just because your friend does.

And to continue with the friend theme for the day, here are a few photos of some of my closest friends (besides my husband of course, that goes without saying!)
"A friend is one who knows you, and loves you just the same"- Elbert Hubbard
If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile. But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me.
"We all take different paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little of each other everywhere." ---Tim McGraw
"Sometimes in life, you find a special friend. Someone who changes your life just by being a part of it. Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop. Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is forever friendship. When you're down and the world seems dark and empty, your forever friend lifts you up in spirit and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full. Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times and the confused times. If you turn and walk away, your forever friend follows. If you lose your way, your forever friend guides you and cheers you on. Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay. And if you find such a friend, you feel happy and complete because you need not worry. You have a forever friend, and forever has no end."
