Say won't you Say

Oh how the years go by....

We went out and celebrated my dear friend Abby's 21st birthday Monday night. We were joined by her entire family, lots of old close friends from high school, and also as Richard Wells said that evening by some "Rando's" meaning some unexpected faces from high school who ended up coming, which was great the more the merrier! hahhaha Abby had a great birthday I think which is the most important thing!

I realized a couple of things over the span of those two days.

1. The guys that we hungout with in High School haven't changed a bit~and not in a good way. I feel like I am removed from high school when we all get together like that, whereas I feel like they still think they are actually still IN high school in those times. It doesn't so much bother me, as I find it completely humorous and a little sad for them.

2. Reminiscing with old friends is SO good for the Soul! Kim and I got to catch up and chat and laugh and talk about her dad some which was so good for us both. We have so many old memories to share and old stories to tell, and we've talked about them a million times, but they seem to get better as we get older! She and I are a lot alike in many ways, which I am not surprised at all by, we've been friends since we were 12 and we've literally grown up together. We decided Kim is writing a book, due to her current Love situations~situations being that she has about 5 guys who are all ready and willing to marry her, confessing their love and think she's "the one", none of which she is sure of at all, one of which I am partial to, but needless to say, the girl is amazing and has currently won the affections of many a great guys. I can't wait till she knows that someone is "the one" for her!!Love you Kimmy

3. SoulFriends. We chatted about how our friendships Kim, abby, Katie and mine run deeper than just friends of convience, or friends because of similar interests~that may have been how they began long ago, but now we are in it for the long haul. I've been beating myself up all semester about being a bad friend, not spending time with these women who I cherish so much and are so important to me. But I realized that I am spiritually, deeply connected to these girls. We have literally grown up together, seen each other grown and change physically, spiritually, mentally, all of it. I know now that these girls aren't going anywhere and that's how true friendships work, for better for worse and we've all had our share of both. I will be there for any of them at a moments notice too, anytime and anywhere. And I know that this season in our lives is meant for us to continue to grow and change apart from each other and that its ok! The Lord has us in our different places, doing different things, with different friends around us~but when we come back together its like we don't have to doubt our friendships because they go beyond surface level stuff.

I've been fortunate enough to make some friendships like this in College as well, which I am truly amazed that the Lord would bless me with so many amazing friendships that each serve different purposes in my life!
