Friends

I have a lot of acquaintances. Or at least I like to think I do. But I also have a lot of friends, some of which I have been friends with for a very long time. I have a friend that I've known since like kindergarten. I mean, I'll be honest we haven't been friends throughout the whole thing, but we have always found a way back to each other. Even now when we are in college in different states, we still make time to talk and hang out during the summer. I have another friend, Brittany, who I have never not considered her one of my best friends. She has been my friend through so much and I am really thankful for that. She goes to school in Missouri and I'm back in Minnesota, but whenever we talk it still feels like 9th grade chatting on AIM, just derping around or listening to each other's problems. I just think that I am really blessed to have friends like that. Friends that stick around and know that we're still good friends even though we may not talk every day or see each other that much, we're still friends. And it's just an unspoken knowledge that she's going to be in my wedding and she's going to be a part of my life for probably the rest of it (partly because she's hard to shake, just kidding..). I don't know, I guess I'm just really grateful for the friends that I have that I've known for a long time like this. It's important to realize when you have good people in your life and it is important to keep them in it.
