<p><strong><a href="http://tashrn.blogspot.com">Tash</a></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://merrberruns.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/5573_518189492658_71701244_30970216_5094533_n1.jpg"><img style="background-image:none;border-bottom:0;border-left:0;padding-left:0;padding-right:0;display:inline;border-top:0;border-right:0;padding-top:0;" title="5573_518189492658_71701244_30970216_5094533_n" border="0" alt="5573_518189492658_71701244_30970216_5094533_n" src="http://merrberruns.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/5573_518189492658_71701244_30970216_5094533_n_thumb1.jpg?w=292&#038;h=326" width="292" height="326" /></a></p>
<p>She is my BFF from nursing school. I honestly would not have passed and graduated if it wasn’t for her. She was my rock. We spent a lot of time studying, drinking beer in the library while we were studying and crying in our professors offices about how we were going to fail. I &lt;3 her. enough said. </p>
<p><strong>Diana</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://merrberruns.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/n71701084_30894117_3484841.jpg"><img style="background-image:none;border-bottom:0;border-left:0;padding-left:0;padding-right:0;display:inline;border-top:0;border-right:0;padding-top:0;" title="n71701084_30894117_3484841" border="0" alt="n71701084_30894117_3484841" src="http://merrberruns.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/n71701084_30894117_3484841_thumb.jpg?w=359&#038;h=270" width="359" height="270" /></a></p>
<p>We have been friends all through college. We weren’t very close though until Senior year when we lived together. She was my emotional rock during roommate drama, class drama, dance drama and life drama. She was there when I broke up with my long time boyfriend. In fact, she held my hand while we ended things over the phone. D is the best girl (mom) a girl could ever ask for, and I hope to keep her around forever and ever amen. </p>
<p><strong>Sara</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://merrberruns.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/n71701084_30827276_7554787.jpg"><img style="background-image:none;border-bottom:0;border-left:0;padding-left:0;padding-right:0;display:inline;border-top:0;border-right:0;padding-top:0;" title="n71701084_30827276_7554787" border="0" alt="n71701084_30827276_7554787" src="http://merrberruns.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/n71701084_30827276_7554787_thumb.jpg?w=434&#038;h=326" width="434" height="326" /></a></p>
<p>Sara is my Dancer girl BFF. She and I bonded over many a dance class. We also struggled through nursing school and many an awful clinical together. I am so proud to call this chick my friend. She would drop anything at any given time for anyone and would give you the shirt off her back if you needed it. She is wonderful. </p>
<p><strong>Caitlin</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://merrberruns.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/262924_550900654228_71700927_31673409_1614267_n.jpg"><img style="background-image:none;border-bottom:0;border-left:0;padding-left:0;padding-right:0;display:inline;border-top:0;border-right:0;padding-top:0;" title="262924_550900654228_71700927_31673409_1614267_n" border="0" alt="262924_550900654228_71700927_31673409_1614267_n" src="http://merrberruns.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/262924_550900654228_71700927_31673409_1614267_n_thumb.jpg?w=431&#038;h=324" width="431" height="324" /></a></p>
<p>She is my partner in crime. We lived together sophomore&#160; year of college and we got into lots of trouble together. She is smart, kind, humble and wonderful. She recently graduated Law school and I could not be more proud of her! She is also the best friend that a girl could ever ask for!</p>
<p><strong>Alaina</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://merrberruns.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/262764_164749263591503_100001692928834_430606_7780471_n.jpg"><img style="background-image:none;border-bottom:0;border-left:0;padding-left:0;padding-right:0;display:inline;border-top:0;border-right:0;padding-top:0;" title="262764_164749263591503_100001692928834_430606_7780471_n" border="0" alt="262764_164749263591503_100001692928834_430606_7780471_n" src="http://merrberruns.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/262764_164749263591503_100001692928834_430606_7780471_n_thumb.jpg?w=252&#038;h=446" width="252" height="446" /></a></p>
<p>Nain is my cousin, but also my partner in crime. I remember babysitting her when I was younger, and how I was the only one allowed in our family to play with her hair. I remember playing dress up with her and my sister and putting nail polish and make up on them. Alaina has grown up to be a beautiful young woman and remains to this day someone who is very close to me. </p>
<p><strong>Sara Anne</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://merrberruns.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/n71700942_30895600_63280311.jpg"><img style="background-image:none;border-bottom:0;border-left:0;padding-left:0;padding-right:0;display:inline;border-top:0;border-right:0;padding-top:0;" title="n71700942_30895600_6328031" border="0" alt="n71700942_30895600_6328031" src="http://merrberruns.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/n71700942_30895600_6328031_thumb1.jpg?w=431&#038;h=324" width="431" height="324" /></a></p>
<p>This chick is amazing. I love her more than life itself. She’s my best friend, one of my partners in crime and the best sis a girl could ask for. She’s been there through all of my big life’s events. she is beautiful, smart, athletic and everything that I was not at 16 years old.&#160; We are friends by choice, sisters by chance. I love her. </p>

<p>Yes, you read that correctly. Out of all holidays that I celebrate, Halloween is definitely my LEAST favorite. Criticize me if you will, but I’m sticking to it. </p>
<p>That was truth 1. </p>
<p>Truth 2: </p>
<p>Just because I hate Halloween doesn’t put me above dressing up my dogs! </p>
<p><a href="http://merrberruns.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/487.jpg"><img style="background-image:none;border-bottom:0;border-left:0;padding-left:0;padding-right:0;display:inline;border-top:0;border-right:0;padding-top:0;" title="487" border="0" alt="487" src="http://merrberruns.files.wordpress.com/2011/10/487_thumb.jpg?w=280&#038;h=418" width="280" height="418" /></a></p>
<p>Okay, this was from Christmas. I couldn’t find a picture of the pups from Halloween last year. Corbin was a bumble bee, and Tika was a squirrel. They were precious. Call me cruel, I know you dress your animals up too. </p>
<p>Truth 3. </p>
<p>Just because I hate Halloween doesn’t mean that I don’t love the candy part of it! </p>

<p>And, yes, in case you were wondering. While HB and the pups are handing out candy this Halloween, I’ll be sitting on the couch NOT watching scary movies and gorging myself on candy. </p>
