"Friends are Friends Forever"

If you are a prodigy of Contemporary Christian music from the early 90s, you are probably singing the words to this song in your head, and I hope you sing it ALL DAY LONG. bahaha!!
If you are a member of my immediate family, you are probably singing the song and laughing (hopefully out loud).

Ole Michael W Smith knew what he was talking about!

Another way of saying it is...

I agree with this completely. Life seems to be getting crazier and crazier! I hate that I have to check my calendar and make plans to hang out with my friends, but that is what life has become. There are so many friends from different parts of my life that I don't get to see on a regular basis, but the memories I have are so dear to me. I also know that I have friends that I may not have seen in a while, but if I needed them, I could call them and they would be there for me.

Being a minister's kid meant moving several times throughout my childhood. We didn't do it a whole, whole lot, like military kids, but we did move several times. There were definitely pros and cons to the moves. Looking back at my life, I almost feel like each location was a chapter in a book. Although the chapter ended and a new one started, I have great memories of the friendships made along the way. These friends are who molded me into the person that I am now.

Major Life Chapters (so far) – Central, New Orleans/Seminary, Huntsville, Columbus/Phenix City, Augusta, North Greenville, Blue Ridge, Current Day.

Some I remember more than others; some hold better memories than others; but all brought friendships into my life and taught me life lessons that I needed. Most also have mini chapters within the major chapters – camp, sports, etc.

#4 - I am very thankful for my friends – old and new. Friends that I get to see and that I don’t get to see. Friends that I talk to on a regular basis and friends that I rarely get to talk to. All have a very special place in my heart along with the memories that we made along the way!
