I was looking through the endless pictures on weheartit.com, in search of something to give you guys a glimpse into my newsroom on this day of state inaugurations when I came across something better.

To you, this may look like a car with balloons in the floorboard or a silly prank you can play on a person.

But to me, this looks like a memory...

When I first started college I didn't know anyone, but it wasn't long before I met my best friends.

That picture up there is just a sampling of what these very special ladies did for my first college birthday.

They stole my keys and filled my entire car with balloons. I'm talking floorboards to roof balloons.

And then, about a week later, we got rid of them.

Windows down. Major highway. Traffic.

It was awesome.
