Friendship

I want to publicly thank my dear friend for being just that, a wonderful person and friend.

Although we were not close in high school we have developed a splendid relationship in the past four or five years. I know that I can trust her with my deepest darkest secrets that I usually only would share with my husband. I know that we can chat about concerns that include our other friends I and do not feel that I am gossiping or backstabbing. It is rare in life that you can find a true friend and this is what she is to me. I hope that she knows that.

As I journey through this crazy life the idea of friendship has evolved. As a school girl I just wanted to be with the in crowd. I begged my fashionably challenged mother for Guess jeans and Esprit shirts. Of course she obliged, she tried to give us anything we wanted. My mom is still that way, god bless her for it, anything for her girls.

Now as an adult I have just realized that I need to be me. Yes, I am still in school, an undergraduate even. We live in a small house in a moderately nice part of town. We drive a used car, and gasp I do not even have a cell phone. You know what though, that's me though. I have really grown to like me over the past year. We may not live in a new home and drive a new car but we are the kind of people that I always have wanted to be.

I hope that I can always stay this way.
