So, question....are blogs suppose to only be about my 'cause' or is it acceptable to go off topic and rant, judge, praise, or just joke around? I am all about Snuggled Up and if I was a multi millionaire, and not a teacher in debt, I'd totally be traveling the U.S. giving children beds.
However, I am also a 36, jeesh, I'm old, anyway, I'm a 36 year old teacher, who has taught for 13 years. I have four beautiful children, two puppies, two fish, a lizard, and a cat...oh and a husband that I love dearly, most days. But this 'blog' is not about any of the above, its about friendship.
This beautiful woman I am hugging on her wedding day is like a sister to me. Our lives are crazy and I don't see her enough, but its funny how I know she's still there for me, as I am there for her.
Our history is long and actually funny. To sum it up, she hated me in high school (I didn't know that part), I went to prom with her boyfriend (I didn't know he had a girlfriend), and she thought I had a 'stuck up' look about me. Reality....I didn't know who she was, nor was I stuck up. I was shy...yeah, hard to believe, and when I walked the halls of Bellbrook High School I walked with my head down. I had awesome friends in high school. I had a blast in high school. But I learned real friendship after high school from this awesome girl you see in the picture, Emmy.
Fast forward from high school, we ended up working at the same day care and placed in the same preschool class. She may have hated me at first....but she be lovin' me now. Ever since then I learned true friendship. I literally tell her everything. I can call her crying, laughing, or buzzed up and we are on the same page.
I learned friendship from Emmy. It's not quantity, it quality. She made me realize that it's okay to be me. She builds me up or picks me up if needed. I don't have a sister, but she has been one to me. I love her and would do anything for this woman. I made her promise me on her wedding day that when our husbands were dead and gone----because women always live longer----that we would be together. I have many close girl relationships now. Kelly, Erica, CaCa, Jessica, Lynn, and more....but if it weren't for Emmy telling me over and over she loved me for just being me, I'm not sure I'd be the friend I am today or have the amazing group of women I consider my best friends.
Friendships are important. Girlfriends are important. Book Clubs, Dance Nights, and Cryfests are all important. I guess this does lead me back to Snuggled Up. I had support from all of my friends. Phone calls, texts, cards, letters, and personal visits that encouraged me to be brave, to do something, to make a change. I always say, I'm just a normal girl. But I have a hell of good group of friends. Love to you all XOXOX
Think about your friends tonight....and just tell them thank you.
Feeling Loved,
Trisha
