Best Friends..

So I was going to write about something else entirely today. However, when I opened up blogger I saw that my best friend Melissa Jane has started a new challenge for her self. That is to blog every day in May. I also got a text from another best friend Alex today; about her spending a few days with me before she heads home for the summer. And then When my group of amazing friends here and I didn't get our tickets for Willamette Country Musical Festival yesterday, "DEEP SOBBING" done now, I thought about what else we could do with those days. AND that lead me to think of the time I spent at Fort Steven's with my best friend Grayson. So, lately I have had a lot of thinking about my dearest friends. Whether they be from elementary, middle school, high school or college. I am very blessed to have the amazing friends I do who have stuck by me through my worst/best times.

I think what got me thinking about my friends lately is that I recently had a dear friend who had reaction to some medication which caused him to go into a coma where he endured 21 seizures in 3 days. When he woke up from the coma he had complete memory loss. It was one of those things where you always hear about it but you never think it'll happen to you or someone you really care about. It really puts things in perspective in life.

For those of you who don't know I live at least 100 miles from my best friends from high school. I do have some amazing friends here at Central and that really does help. But there are those time, which I think everyone has, when you truly just need your best friend you grew up with. I have been having that time for about a few months now. It is very difficult to be sooo far away from your best friends. Due to the fact that each of us now work at least 20 hours a week, go to school full time, and have a life where we live now, it's hard to find/make time to talk about the things happening in our lives. I miss that time with my best friends. I miss the sleepovers that lasted 4 days, the nights of watching scary movies and making junk food and just being ridiculously silly and spontaneous. 

I am very excited to spend a few days with Miss Alex and then Miss Melissa and I are working on planning a vacation for this summer! We are so excited. I think I have spent  MAYBE 36 hours with Alex since she left for school last August. I haven't seen, in person, Melissa in almost 2 year (seriously depressing!). And I haven't seen Grayson and many others in a very long long time. So I'm just saying that if your nearest and dearsest friends are living either in the same town as you or you get to see them often, DO NOT take that for granted. Because in a second everything could change.
