Let Me Tell You a {Very} Short Story


This is the story of three purses.

One day their owners went to a dear friend's wedding and while they waited for it to begin, they took pictures outside. One picture was of the purses as they sat next to each other where they had been set down earlier. As close as the purses were in the picture, the owners were in friendship.

But as life sometimes does, soon after the wedding and the picture happened, the purses were pulled apart, as the owners separated to different states: one purse stayed in Utah, one purse went to St. Louis, and one went to Washington, DC.

But then one day, one of the purses' owners decided it would be a good idea to get married. So she did. And she decided it would be a good idea to have a reception in St. Louis, and her two friends decided it would be a good idea to fly out to that reception and reunite in the beloved Midwest - the heartland of America.

And that is how it came to be that three great friends will be reunited this weekend. Probably with new purses to introduce to each other - for purses evolve and change just as friendships do.

This weekend, I plan to live life to the fullest with bffs Court and Berkie D - and if a full life includes the Public Zoo, Science Museum, and Magic House, then my life will be full indeed. Rain or shine (likely rain), I'm determined to have a blast.

Here's to meeting in the middle (of the country...), taking far too many pictures, and staying up late laughing until my stomach and cheeks hurt with 2 of my favorite chicas! Cheers!

Ahh love it! You should probably write a children's book about those purses. Just saying. :)
