Friends

It's amazing how friends brighten your day!  I had lunch today with my friend Emily.  She and I went to PC together, and she was President of our sorority.  We lived on the same hall freshman year and were friends ever since.  She's from Charlotte and is always my personal GPS for shopping trips to Southpark Mall (in Charlotte).  She was in town today doing some shadowing at the hospital, and I was so happy that we got to catch up.  And to top it all off...we got to eat chicken salad at Converse Deli.  I loveeee their chicken salad!  This picture is from our senior year at PC!  Oh, the good ole days.

New friends make me just as happy!  I went for a run after work today with my friend Sara Margaret.  She is my new favorite running partner.  Wanna know why?  Because she can TALK while she runs.  I have to talk while I run...it makes the time go by so much faster.  Unfortunately, I've never had a good running buddy that can talk to me as much as I require, haha.  I'm a high maintenance runner.  (Sweet Caleb is a great listener, but he says his lungs aren't good enough to talk while running.  Bless it.)   We ran through one of the neighborhoods nearby on a golf course.  I mean, pretty houses and a friend that talks while running...how much better does it get?  I'm so glad the Lord blesses us with friends!
