Moments
I love my friends. I love my friends very much.
My friend Laura last night gave me a picture of the two of us and it was so sweet. I loved the picture because sometimes its easier to not do something than it is to do something, so it means a lot when a person takes time to do something.
Tonight I went to dinner with three people from school that I met when I was in Denmark. We hang out about twice a semester, once in the beginning and once in the end, and always at Chipotle. It's nice because you get to catch up on other people's lives and see how even though it seems like we are so disconnected, we share so much in common.
Last Saturday I had a final that I did not feel very good coming out of it. I wound up going out to lunch with two of my friends and it was so much fun to just talk about nothing and spend time together in the company of good friends. By the time the three hour lunch was over, I had forgotten all about the stress of my test and felt very blessed by God. On Saturday night I also got to see my friend Laura Morgan who I haven't seen since before she got married. It was so nice to hang out in the company of old friends and catch up on everybody's lives. I haven't sat down and really talked with many of the people from Saturday night in probably four years!
On Thursday night I talked to an old friend from Freshman year. We haven't spoken in at least three years and just randomly started talking online. It was really neat because even though we haven't connected in over 3 years we still had a very good conversation. And it was such a good reminder that friendships and relationships really do stand the test of time.
On Wednesday night I'm going sledding with some friends from Target. I've known these people since I was 16 and all through work. Although jobs change and people change, its beautiful to know that you can always go back and connect with people. I haven't gone sledding in a couple of years and am thinking about investing $3 on a tube.
All this is a reminder that God loves us and loves for us to be in relationships. Relationships that challenges us, that grows us, and makes us a better person. I wish I could spend more time with each of my friends and I have not been proud of all the relationships and friendships that I have been in, but each one has led me closer to God. Like Donald Miller says in his book Through Painted Deserts, "Life is a dance towards God." So far my dance has been very sweet.

Oh - and here I was all excited for you to mention the gay coffee shop I took you too. :)
I like the picture too - especially because we both look so cute in it.
