Today I was reminded just how wonderful my friends are! Seriously. Through the 21 years I've been alive I have managed to make some of the best friendships. Friendships I know that will last a lifetime. Let me tell you why I was reminded of this today.
My day really didn't get started until I met with Chris and Jared at the East Austin Young Life office to discuss camp. We met for two and half hours deciding on how we were going to choose only 8 out of the 19 kids who signed up to go to camp. Jared humbly bowed out and let Alaina and I take all girls. I believe this was the right decision but appreciated Jared for understanding.
After my long meeting I called Grace to see what she was up to. Lauren was back in town and we needed friend time. So all three of us went and walked around Town Lake. It was great. Beyond great. I could walk outdoors and talk to the two of them all day. Actually that is one of my favorite activities. Walking and talking about life. Genius.
During our walk we decided to throw a game night, which ended up not actually being a game night (most of the time this happens). Instead we talked and caught up with our friends. I actually loved it. I got to see some friends who I hadn't seen in a while. A lot of laughter. A lot of friends. And a summer night with nothing to do.
I enjoy spending time with my friends so much. They know me so well. I get excited when I think about the future of these friendships. I sit and imagine everyone's lives ten years from now and dream about future adventures. Pretty much we all end up married with kids. Typical I know.
But in all seriousness, God has given me great friends. Ones that I will forever cherish. And today has been a day I realized just how blessed I truly am.
