Friends...
So I've been thinking these past few days about how truely lucky I am. I don't know or understand how it is I have so many wonderful people in my life, but I am so thankful and lucky to be able to say that I really do have a great circle of friends and family around me. They say you only ever have really 1 great friend in life, and if you have two then you're pretty damn lucky. Well I must have been born with a 4 leaf clover because I have whole lot more then 2 that I can honestly say are great friends! When I think back over the years at the people who have come and gone in my life there really aren't many. Those that have come and gone have really just been boyfriends and well yeah we'll just leave that one alone. But the friends I've had over the years, the real friends have always been there and are still there.
I guess with one of my friends leaving for Portugul yesterday and being gone for three weeks it made me think about it. I really am lucky. I probably have at least 5 great friends. Not acquiences, or "friends", but really truely GREAT friends.
Steph has most definitly been my longest, truest, and bestest friend. I can't believe that we've been friends for nearly 20 years. I know!!! We met when I was 8. I'm going to be 27 in afew months, how insane is that?!?!? How many people out there seriously have someone that they can say they've been bestfriends with for 20 years??? Especially when they aren't even 30 yet?!?!? Wow 20 years... How many moves, how many boyfriends, how many groundings, how many camps, how many hockey games in those 20 years?... We are definitely NOT friends. Friends can't even come close to explaining a relationship like that. We are with out a doubt family.
Then there is Jaymes who I consider a brother more then a friend. Jaymes has been a great support to both me and my brother Tim. Its a little odd to alot of people considering he was actually my big sis's highschool boyfriend, but we've kept in touch and when I'm home I always see him. Jaymes is someone I know I can count on at all times for everything and anything. I can't tell you how many trips to and from Windsor he kept me company on, how many moves he helped me with, and how many "boys" he threatened if they ever hurt me.
And then there are the ones that I haven't known for 10 or 20 years, but feel like I have, and feel like family.
Case in point Matt and Tanya. Matt and Tanya are like brother and sister to Scott and I. Friends dosen't really cut it when refering to them. In the two years that I've known them they have been so much more then a friend to me and Scott alike. Although Scott has known Matt for 11 years, and Tanya for almost 4 I feel as though we've known them much longer. Matt and Tanya are always there no matter what it is we need. Tanya is the reason I have such an awesome job, and Scott and I are finally on the same work schedule. When you can work all week with someone and then still want to hang out on the weekends together, you know it's a good friendship you got going on there.
So that's what 4? Well there are more.... definitly more but They all know who they are.
Anyway Just want you ALL to know how much I love, and treasure each and everyone of you. No matter the distance I think of you all often and love you all so much!
