When You're the Best of Friends

I just love my friends.  You know those ones that it doesn't matter how far away they live or how long it's been since you talked to them but right when you see them it's like you pick up the conversation right where you left it last time.  The ones that you could just talk to for hours.  The ones that don't care how how you look or what dumb thing you say but love you anyway.  The ones that you can laugh about the dumbest things with and make you feel like a giggly little school girl all over again.  I LOVE these friends.  I'm not the most social girl in the world.  In high school I was a bit of a drifter.  I didn't belong to a click or group, but I had a few really close friends and then a lot of other friends in many different group.  I was kinda insecure in the big social groups.  I used to wish I was different but now looking back, I kept my true friends after high school and the rest is history.  When I went to college I tried to be different.  I got out of my shell a little but I got these amazing room mates that made me in some ways revert back to old ways and just stick with them.  When I went off to USU I didn't get too many girls as friends because I started dating a lot and my room mates were pretty lame then.  I eventually met Mark and then got some more really good roomies and friends.  Now being back in the college setting I find that friends are once again large priority.  We are meeting lots of fun people in our ward and apartments.  We have a great group of friends that get together and play games every Sunday night after the kids go to sleep.  Scott and I love our play dates with the kids around us.  But this being the season for family and friends it has been so wonderful to catch up with people.  I was able to get together with one of my besties from high school last night, Lindsey.  She and I have been through a lot together.  She now lives in Texas but came home for the Holidays with her brand new baby, Max.  I loved him instantly.  I'm starting to get baby hungry again and my new niece, Avery and Max did not help.  Lindsey is one of those friends that I never get awkward around, I can tell her anything and we both just get it.  The type of friend that you miss right after you leave.  Lindsey, call me soon, because I keep thinking of more and more things that I want to talk to you about.
Tonight I'm hanging out with my old roomie, Jill.  Jill and I share a birthday and I that must be the reason why we are so much a like.  She and I can laugh over anything.  We were SOOO annoying when we were living together at Snow.  But we had so much fun we didn't care.  She is going to the U for her doctorate right now so I don't get to see her as often as I'd like but with the break she's finally giving me attention.  She has a way of reminding me to be positive without ever saying, "Be positive".  I don't know how she does it but when I leave her I always just feel up lifted. 
I just love ALL my friends and I hope I get to see and/or talk to you all really soon.
