I just realized I don't have a signature greeting line. That needs to happen. I want you girls to come up with one for me this week as a birthday present (7 days baby!!!).
Before I get started, I believe I promised Mercy I'd let her know how I feel about last night's episode of Downton Abbey in this post. All I'm saying is I believe I'm quite falling out of love with the show, and some of its recent themes may or may not have upset and convicted me and reduced me to tears. I'm too sensitive to the realness of life, and the fact that I take a TV drama so seriously is probably not a good thing, therefore I'm trying to back off on my fangirling over that show.
But, heyyy, I still love you girls, which is all that matters. We can still be friends even if I'm jumping the hardcore Downton ship, in the same way that we have gotten along thus far despite my fascination with genetics and heredity. And I still might watch the show, just not watch the show, in the same way that y'all might help me make Punnet squares with my genes and my someday husband's genes when, in the very distant future, we have kids. You just won't help me.
Moving right along, I wanted to make this post more about the other three-quarters of the Foursome, since this is supposed to be like a letter to you girls, and who wants to read a letter that is not about them? I don't know about you, but I'm kind of tired of hearing Laura talk about herself all the time (much like the serial killer, Ted Bundy, Laura finds it easier to confess things about herself when she talks in third person).
Mercy and Rose- your posts were equally as honest about the horrors of high school, as well as equally wonderful in their abundance of GIFs. It's as if you two have the same brain but VERY VERY SEPARATE personalities. You think so much alike it scares me, yet at the same time you are so different, which scares me even more. Promise me you will never change.

| this is you two, dying from Inappropriate Laughing Syndrome |
Grace- I feel like I never give your posts enough credit. Your last one was especially fantastic, and your incredible talent at putting thoughts into words is inspiring. I assure you I'm not just saying that to be nice, and there are people with more legitimate opinions than mine who would agree. Anyone, even domesticated gorillas, can put words on paper or type on a blog, but to be able to really write, to give someone that poignant, nostalgic feeling which resonates throughout their body like sunrise over mountains, is talent indeed. And, gurl, you can write.

| this is us. Idk who is who. We have both been one for the other at different times I think. |
I know that's not possible. We'll all get older (and hopefully taller) and go to college probably, and maybe end up living across the globe from each other instead of across the state. But even when that happens, I know I'll never regret the time we've wasted so productively together. All the late-night laughter and dancing in the kitchen in our pajamas and huddling under blankets while watching our favorite movies- each of those moments has become a picture in my mind, each ascribed to a page in my mental scrapbook. And I couldn't thank you girls enough for that :)

| yeah, I feel like this describes us pretty well. We've all been a different one of the Minions at different times ;) |
So, don't forget to be awesome. Keep calm and carry on. Because it's gonna be totally awesome, I can feel it.
Also, pray for me, because *PLOT TWIST* I'm going on a missions trip over Spring Break. G&M, you should get the support letter soon, and Mercy, I'll see you tomorrow.
--Laura :)
