A girl's gotta have friends...

8 years or so after moving to the great state of Texas, I prayed a simple prayer: 'Please God, give me friends'. After many a teary conversation with my dear husband, I remember thinking, "I miss my friends at college and at home in Illinois, and I don't know anyone here." Not a totally unusual thought for me, since I did move around as a child, but this time was different. With no inherent plans to move in the near future, I knew that we were going to settle here for awhile, so I needed to make some friends (and fast!). Looking back, I have to laugh because now I feel that I have made so many wonderful friends through church, school, and have reconnected with some of my dear friends from college (through my blog, I might add!). After having had a particularly down day yesterday and crying to my dear husband about it I talked to one of my dear friends about it and all she had to say was 'I understand, I've been there too' and the problem was resolved (all in a ride to school I might add--thanks Heather!). All I can say is: A husband keeps me grounded, but having girlfriends keeps me SANE! Can I hear an AMEN to that?!!
