I have great friends!

Since moving to Logan I haven't had much opportunity to make friends because of work, school, and a long distance relationship. So the few friends I had were greatly treasured. I didn't always take advantage of that friendship, sometimes I went months without seeing them even though they lived in the same city.
In my last year of undergraduate school, I've realized that while I'm not the most popular kid in school, I have some of the best friends in the world. Even though I lose touch with them, we can always pick up right where we left off, and there isn't a moment of awkwardness. We commiserate, giggle, vent, encourage, sympathize, and will do anything possible for each other.
One friend, who just recently had an emergency C-section, has been my rock for the last 2 1/2 years. She let me live with her for a summer, rent free, and "forced" me to enjoy life. She's always been there when I need to vent or go for ice cream, or need a hug from her and a mauling from her puppy. She knows how to make me laugh, forget my worries, or deal with the ones that can be dealt with. Since tweaking my back, she has been sympathizing with my plight, having been on best rest for the last three months herself. And, even though she's still weak from her ordeal, and her husband just got home on leave, she had her husband drop off a pint of my favorite ice cream. This will require payback of course, by the way. She lets me play with her ADORABLE baby boy, who is quite possibly the cutest baby I've ever seen, who is happy 98% of the time. And he smiles whenever he see's me, which would make anybody's day better!
This is just one of the many friends I've been blessed with. Luckily I'm starting to reconnect with some of my friends from Provo, which makes me happy because they are really good people that I never seemed to find time to talk to. Most of my friends are married now, most with a kid or two, but we've always tried to find time to hang out and lift each other up. I can honestly say that I don't have a single friend who is a killjoy, disappointment, or is bad for me. I've been blessed with friends who, although their life may not be happy or going where they want it to, always try for the positive, and are willing to slap me upside the head when I need it. I love having friends like that. Thanks friends!!
