I mean, it's so hard when you get to a certain age to, like, get together with all of

your friends, right?

Life gets in the way that window of spontaneity.

Boo-bye.

These little things called kids.

Kids.

Sucking you at your time.

However, my girl group, we have made a pact every single year.

We do a trip together.

It's always this first weekend in November, it's all for Amanda's birthday because we

all turn the same year, the same age in the same year, and so there's four of us, the

core four.

You got Amanda, you got Brittany, you got Michelle, and you got me.

And so we always do these girl trips just to kind of reconnect with each other because

I'm in one state, Brittany's in another state, Michelle and Amanda are in another state.

And so when you're divided like that, you have a hard time keeping up with each other.

And just so you understand, like, the intensity of this friendship, I've known Amanda since

she was in third grade, I've known Michelle since we were in sixth grade, and I've known

Brittany since I was a freshman in college.

So we go way back.

I think Amanda and I tallied it up, like, we've been friends for 35 years.

Wow.
