Friends

Since I wrote a post to my distant friends, I decided I needed to write one to my local friends.  I'm truly blessed with great friends in Cheyenne.  I'm not going to try to list individually, because I don't want to miss anyone. 

When my parents lived in Laramie so my dad could get his Masters Degree, my mom met a lot of married students.  One of the wives told her that it took her about two years to make connections and friendships with other women when they moved to a new place.  I saw the same thing in Texas with some of the women I became friends with.

Luckily, that has never been the case for me.  I belong to a great church that helps foster friendships from the beginning.  These women that I meet at church become fill-in family.  These are the women I turn to when I need to borrow something, when I need help, or advice.  We do late night movies, book club, supper club, baby showers, and playdates.  We go shopping together and do lunch. 

I have lots of "sisters" that I could call for anything and they'd be there.   Likewise, if they they call me with a need, I'm on it.  I joke (mostly) that I'd way rather clean one of their houses than my own. 

I've also made friends with our kindergarten teacher and with a mom from Emery's class.  I really am surrounded by great friends here.  I've had good friends everywhere we've ever lived.
