day 9

"If I wouldn't have lived in Chicago..."I wouldn't have any of these amazing people in my life!I just have a few memories I'd like to post-I can't post them all for everyone...but these are the ones on my heart right now.I wouldn't have my sweet MTOS friends.I wouldn't have eaten breakfast with these women every Monday morning my last semester of college.Had pillow talk with Erikka at night.Been roommates with Carri, Suz, and Krista.I wouldn't know what Evergreen Saturday is.I wouldn't be so close with Carri if we both hadn't stayed in Chicago after graduation.I wouldn't have any friends on the East Coast if Erikka didn't live there.Would know I share the same birthday with someone like Suz.Would have had totally different friends in college if I wouldn't have known Krista.Would have commuted home in silence if I didn't have Esther to call.I wouldn't know the Jasmers.Would have never had endless Facebook messages with Molly through out the day at work.I would have never watched half the movies I've watched if it wasn't for Ben.I wouldn't know one of my husbands best friends.I wouldn't have gotten to know Molly via a 12 hour car ride from Minneapolis to Chicago.I wouldn't have gotten to be in Henry's life every day.I wouldn't know Mabrie & Jason.I would have never eaten sushi.I wouldn't know all the cool funny things on SNL and YouTube.I wouldn't eat as much Mexican food as I do.I would have never known fake mustaches could be so fun.I would have never watched Star Wars Episode IV.I would have never eaten at half the restaurants in Chicago that I have.I wouldn't have met Rachael Judd.I wouldn't have had anyone to go to spin class with (You're freaking out right now).I wouldn't have spent 40 hours a week for the past 4 1/2 years with Mabs.I wouldn't have anybody to celebrate with after Andrew proposed if she wasn't hiding on the roof taking pictures.I have so many things I wouldn't have done if it wasn't for all of you, my friends. Thank you for being in my life, being my friend, and loving me.
