Friendship...

Ok, so it is past 3am...my vision is getting fuzzy, the hairs on my arms are standing (feels like bugs are crawling all over me), and I'm somewhat listening to the movie "Sabrina" in the background. But, I had to write a little bit about something.
I have recently been contemplating who my real (or is it reel? am I that tired? YES!) (wow) friends are. I won't use any names (hopefully...well....mostly hopefully....in fact, it's probably mostly hopefully...with a touch of hmm).
Life has been hard (I know...it's hard for everyone). Not working and having an income has been a great strain. Living in the dump I call "The Cave" is beyond depressing...I've come to terms that I'm the mom in this place. We will now have the stress of new roommates moving in in the next couple of days. It's MY territory. STAY AWAY!!!!! There's also the added stress of the male gender that I so wonderfully (?) ranted about in my previous blog.
ANYWAYS....
2 things.
Monday an old friend (whom I will name), Eryn Johnson, from high school came out to visit me. We haven't been able to hang out in at least a year. It was SO GOOD to see her! We had a tasty meal from the dollar menu at Wendy's and went to see Charlie St. Cloud. That movie was ok...but the best part was watching Zac Efron. Oh man is he good on the eyes!!!!!! I don't care if he's a little too young. His eyes melt me every time. Eryn and I enjoyed the wet t-shirt scene a little too much I will admit. :)
So, yeah. It was so good to see her. We have been friends since 7th grade I think. We weren't always the closest (gotta love junior high friendships), but for some reason we've been able to be good friends, if not better friends throughout the years. We've even talked about being roommates together if we both found a job in the same area. She's been through a real tough time with a break-up and a lack of a good job. But, she's still herself. I love my friends, I really do. And this visit was just what I needed to get my mind off of some things.
Now, this other friend was a bit of a surprise. I was really struggling with the Spencer thing, and the rest of the male ranting problems. It all kind of hit me that day. I was having a weak moment. My friend started talking to me online and asked what was wrong. Apparently they had to leave the computer for a bit, and well, I thought that this person was just being rude after I had kind of spilled my problems. Later, while I was at the movie, I got a call and a text from this person seeing if I was ok. Now tell me, how many people would've done that? Eventually I got to talk to this person and explain some things. It was so nice to have someone there for me when I needed it. And, honestly, it was just what I needed. Any other person would've given me the response I wasn't looking for. I just feel so lucky to have this person as a friend. They may not be the best person in the world, but I'm finding that this person is getting higher and higher up on the friend list. People surprise me more often than not, and this was a big one.
One of my greatest blessings in life is my friends. Sometimes I am not the greatest friend I can be, but I try. I know I will never be able to make up for the blessings I've received from the friends in my life. Heavenly Father has been watching out for me and knows who I need in my life at certain times. I'm so thankful for this.
