Old Friends, New Friends.....

So with all the changes since graduation the topic of missing my friends is a pretty common one. Within in the next month my friends will reside everywhere from Dallas to Little Rock to Texarkana to Michigan to Chicago (thank goodness we are all in the same time zone). I have a conversation pretty much weekly that goes along the lines of missing my old friends, how I want to make new friends in Fayetteville but I just really miss my old friends. New friends are great but they take a while to meet and become close with and I just want my old friends back. My old friends that I had routines with whether it was staying in on rainy weekends and watching some crime television show to missing the order of the places we'd go on Dickson and knowing how long we'd stay at each one. Or on a more serious note missing the people who celebrated the day with you whether you got the internship or simply had finally finished your paper, you know the ones you did everything and nothing with day-in and day-out. While I was having a sad, "I miss my friends" moment God gave me a little insight that made me laugh, here I was talking about my old friends that not that long ago were my "new college" friends. I can clearly remember back to sometime sophomore year when my "old" friends were my friends from high school and my "new" friends were the people I had met in college. Isn't it funny how these "new" friends are now so seamlessly mixed in with my old high school friends. These people who were so new two years ago are some of my closest friends now. They are the ones that I literally can cry thinking that I don't get to see them daily and create countdowns for reunion weekends (28 days till Texarkana!) that excite me so much I can't sleep the night before I see them. God is so faithful to have provided me with so many wonderful friends and while I miss them terribly I am anxious to see what new people will enter my post-grad life and excited to see how my "old" friendships will change. Sorry for the random post but it was on my mind and I figure I should really try to get back on track towards meeting my new year's resolution I think I'm only 70 post or so to go, ha! Love you new & old bloggy friends!

Lazy Friday Night

Today is one of those rare, cold, wet, all-around dreary nights. I got off work and had plans of going to eat with friends then we would head to the baseball game but the chilly temps and rain called off the second half of those plans. Katie & Heather & I went to eat at Chili's and made the executive decision that movies and cookies back at the house would be a much better end to our week than freezing at the baseball field. So currently I am sitting here listening to music and typing this while they are watching a scary movie on the TV. Lucky for me because they know me so well they also rented Billboard Dad so once this scary movie is off we are watching that! I just really can't even put into words how blessed I am to live the life I live. I just LOVE it so much and it literally makes me want to cry when I think that I graduate in less than a month and won't have the same faces to greet me each day after class or work. I know God has great things planned for my future and I'm excited to see what those plans look like but at the same time I just love my life right now so much I can't imagine it being much better, but I said the same thing about high school and college proved me wrong again with more fun and more friends so maybe the real world won't be as scary as it seems. I'm trying to play catch up for my little blog break, I still have some posts I need to do that will include pictures but right now I just felt like typing out all the little thoughts hopping around in my head. Happy Friday blog friends, I hope you have a great relaxing weekend!!
