Friends 4 Life

 It's hard being a middle school girl (can I get an amen?) or at least it was when I started at Bowling Green Junior High back in the day.  I was taken down quite a few notches on the "cool" barometer.  I am incredibly thankful that my daughter has made some pretty amazing friend choices.  She's met some new friends and hung on to some of her dearest old friends. It's a blessing knowing your child is surrounded by a peer group that you love and approve of.  I wanted to do a quick blog about all of her fantastic friends.  The picture above is from the SWMS Volleyball Banquet last Monday night.  This team of 7th graders is at the top of her list of friends.  A wonderful group indeed!

Her friend Annie invited some girls over for an early morning breakfast at her house last Friday.  SO sweet!

Karson has lots of 8th grade friends as well.  Her friend Amelia (in the blue shorts and top) is one of her favorite people in the world.  They met in 5th grade at 212 Academy and became instant friends. 

Amelia and Karson are so much alike, it's a little scary. She celebrated her 14th birthday on Friday night, but Karson didn't stay for the sleepover because...

She had a basketball invitational on Saturday.  These four friends continue to play basketball together.  I love Karson's friends!  They are the best! They make middle school a little easier on the social-front!
