unlikely friends

so i've been trying to think all week what i would write about on friday that was my favorite.  this week has been interesting to say the least.  i have been tried, and blessed, this week more than i was expecting.  between STILL dealing with that stupid car accident that happened a few months ago, and trying to get everything figured out for the upcoming semester my stress levels have been a little higher than usual.  but like always there have been huge blessings to balance out these stupid little problems that i'm dealing with (i hate complaining, hate, hate, hate, hate it). 

on wednesday night i went to wicked with some pretty amazing ladies (and ty, and callierose's husband).

going to wicked was truly a dream come true.  i can remember from the time i was about 12 years old that i wanted to go soooo bad, so we bought the soundtrack and memorized every single song.  i could not have been happier in that moment when the music started and the munchkins started dancing on stage singing "no one mourns the wicked"

but one huge thing i realized at wicked is how amazing it is when unlikely friends come into our lives.  i found myself reflecting on the greatest part of my life, and that is the people that i interact with.  i found myself thinking about each of the moments where i "made" a new friend.  whether it was sitting with a semi familiar face the first day at lunch in a new school, grabbing some one's arm at a football game freaking out because i didn't want to loose a bet and have to kiss a boy (woods cross should never come that close to beating bountiful... ever.), or standing in line at new student orientation, or splurging the deets on a hot date a doing laundry together, or insulting my orange juice, or our sunday school teacher, all these moments seemed to be shooting stars in my night time sky life.  there are so many moments where for some reason both parties let their guard down and a wonderful friendship was made. 

so today. this friday. my favorite is my friends, (and yes family you guys are considered friends, i can only imagine how upset they would be if i said my only favorites were my "friends"... i'd be bombarded with jealous texts haha).  thank you.  thank you my friends for everything that you have done to change my life.  thank you for putting up with my strange emotions, and my biweekly breakdowns.  thank you for accepting my fear of my big hips, and for pushing me to always do my best.

whether we are sitting in the drive way listening to shania twain, or rocking out to call me maybe those moments changed me.

thank you wicked for reminding me how i have been changed for the better.

happy friday! xoxo
