Right where we left off..

I had a phone conversation over Easter weekend with a friend who I haven't seen since Christmas break, and hadn't honestly talked to since then either. It really really helped me start Easter on the right foot. She was driving to see her family, and I shot her a text and asked her how she was and what her plans were for Easter, if she was coming to town or not. Well the conversation progressed and goes call? And that meant for me to call her because she was driving.

Well over the next 15 minutes we talked about life, and where we are both headed and where we are in our lives at this moment. It was a really refreshing conversation, because we've both changed drastically since HS, and the conversation was really encouraging and uplifting. It made me realize that nothing really has changed other than we don't talk near as much as we used to.

It's those 15 minute phone conversations with a friend you haven't seen in forever that make you realize how amazing life truly is. I'm blessed to know her, and be considered her friend. She has definitely helped me become who I am today. We've been through a lot together, and I know we'll always be friends, because we've proved it.

That simple and little conversation has made me realize a lot, and how grateful I am for this person. While we may not be best friends anymore, she still is one of the greatest friends I've had the privilege of having.

I love being able to have a conversation and start right where we left off, like nothing has changed. To hear encouragement, and to see two people change and become better, made me realize how great friendship really is.

She'll be in my wedding one day, that's for sure. And my kids will call her Aunt, but for now, we're living far away, but we both still know that at a drop of a hat we would be there for each other.

I'm so thankful and so blessed. :)

Happy Thursday!
