Friends

I probably should not write this post right now, as I'm really sleepy and can't do much justice to my AMAZING friends. I'll try.

I don't count myself as a "popular" person, but my husband is always commenting on the sheer volume of good friends I have. I suppose there are a lot of them... I guess I've done a lot of things with a lot of different people. One good example of this is my very last birthday at BYU. Amelia and I both had birthdays that week, so we invited a bunch of friends to come to Red Robin for lunch. Holy cow. There were like 20 people that came. And they definitely did not all know each other. My sister Rebecca was there. There were friends from Bountiful Court. There were friends from Nauvoo. Friends from Jerusalem. My best friend from freshman year. Friends from women's chorus. That represents six different groups of friends, who wouldn't have mixed at all except that I was in the middle of it. It was kind of epic. Sadly, not one of my current room mates was there, but they all had good excuses.

A couple shout-outs. I shouldn't, because I have way too many friends who deserve shout outs. Maybe January will be shout out to my awesome friends month.

First, my husband. He is my best friend. We were friends first, good friends, and friends forever. I love hanging out with him. I love when he comes home. I'm pretty sure I'll always be happy to see him. He knows me best, and loves me more all the time. I don't know how he does it, but I love him more all the time too, so I guess it's just one of those things.

Two of my best girlfriends are both Amelias, and I can't even differentiate the elementary school way because they are both Amelia M! You might say that "Baltimore Amelia" got me through high school (or I got her through, it's kind of a mutual thing) and "BYU Amelia" got me through college. There could hardly be two girls more different than they are from each other, but I love them both a lot. On second thought... they really do need their own post.

Jen is another one of my cross-country friends :) But that doesn't stop us from talking like, every day! I so look forward to waking up in the morning because I know she's probably already awake, and online. We've been through a bunch of life changers, seemingly together because it was at the same time. We got engaged the same weekend, and married exactly 6 months apart. We were room mates for a year and a half, longer than any of my other room mates. And we're both east coasters, so that puts our bond on a whole new level :) I'm glad we have all this modern technology so that we can continue our awesome friendship even though we've both moved on to "better" room mates.

Like I said before. I have sooooo many friends who deserve shout outs. I really have been blessed with some of the best friends in the world. And I love them.
