Friends

Moving away was a hard decision. I had a good group of friends in Florida and I knew I would miss them after I left. Now that it has been almost a year and a half, numerous of those friendships have fallen to the wayside and I have discovered new friends in Indiana. I had previously written over my confusion in this day and age of technology how people can neglect to keep in touch, so I won't discuss that frustration today.

Today, I am thinking of friends who have remained in touch. I have returned to Florida every 6 months since leaving. My next trip is in April and I have smaller more intimate outings planned with my friends.

My closest friend from back home, I still talk to minimally once a week, usually more. I was sent this photo by her roommate. When I visit, we usually go to the same bar and have something written on the wall. I won't deny, I usually have something involving the Gators posted in an effort to argue the best team. Apparently, my friends sent me a message via the wall. Of course, now we have to visit the bar when I'm in town.

It's nice to maintain these friendships! Miss you too, guys! Remember, you can always come and visit Indiana as well.

I'm sure you do. Weren't you planning a trip up here at some point? We could go to Chicago!!! Can't wait to see you in April. Keep Sunday evening free for me.

We are totally awesome, aren't we? And so modest too! ;] Anywho . . . . Ah, you know I love you darlin! and going to HATM is just not the same without you, had to let you know I was thinking of you too! You have no idea how long it took to get that picture, the camera had a dying battery, people kept outbidding me and then it was finally posted, and your 'favorite' song was playing. I just couldn't believe it! But it was totally worth it. Can't wait to see you next month. Love you!
