My sister and I were blessed with an amazing group of friends right in the very ward we grew up in. Even though in high school we each found other groups of friends to hang out with, we still did a lot together and remained close. When we were younger, the guys (7 of them) and girls (5 of us) always had some type of a prank war going on. We also loved to play neighborhood games like "stuck in the mud" and "jail breaker" every weekend night. We even developed crushes (which were always very dramatic) on each other--two of which resulted in marriage! Last night we had a really fun get together with some of the group and laughed ourselves sick! I love these guys and will always be grateful for their never-ending friendship.
