Well, I'm a little late with my post this week. But, I'm choosing Wednesday is GOOD ENOUGH, versus giving up on this little weekly blog post goal. On Sunday I was traveling from Dallas, Texas back to my home in good ol' Missouri with this gal. My husband flew me down there to visit one of my besties Lindsay as my birthday gift. He is awesome like that.
We had an amazing time just doing life together for a few days. My group of college girlfriends are a sweet gift from the Lord that I am constantly grateful for. Our time together inspired this little list.
You Know You Are Good Friends When...
1- You want your birthday present to be time together. Not super special time, just regular old pick your kids up from school and do the dishes everyday kind of time.
2-You NEVER stay up late anymore because you are officially old, but you string several late nights together.
3-You try really hard to avoid helping clean up their child's car sick vomit, but do it anyway because you love them too. Then you feel free to be honest and share your avoidance antics so you can both get a good hard laugh out of it.
4-You spend countless hours talking about saving money, making homemade everything, and end up visiting an Amish store because you just can't send her back to Texas without sharing your best deals.
5-You make dinner out a 3-4 hour long affair. We can never seem to run out of things to talk about.
6-You can share your ugly stuff and not be regretting sharing it later.
7-Your heart just cares about the same stuff and it makes you smile and stay up late and ignore your children as much as its possible. (Thank you amazing husbands!)
8-You get great joy in seeing your children play together, celebrate fall birthdays together, and in pictures together.
9-You come north to freeze on your children's fall break instead of staying in the blissfully still warm south.
10-You can't wait to share a neighborhood in heaven some day. And you have even more sweet friends that you can't wait to share it with too.
I've been through some rough friendship stuff in my life. I've done tears and change and I'm still growing. And through the hard I've never stopped being grateful that I found girlfriends like I did in college and that we are still journeying together today, even at a distance that sometimes requires an airplane.
