Friendship....

I've had a lot of friends over the years, most have come & gone.  Mostly gone. I'm very social. I love making new friends & its just really rewarding to have those new relationships.

However, my issue has always been "keeping" friends. I've never had a friendship last over 2 years. Except for one very dear friend. Meg. We met back in college & I know I met her before we took a Biology class together. But I just can't remember when. Our friendship really started in the Biology class & lab anyway. Some how, this poor girl, ended up with me as a lab partner. I felt really bad, & I kind of realized she would probably hate me by the end of the year. Mainly because I am super squeamish & after plants we were dissecting a pig.  All I could think of was "Dude I can't deal with this shit" In the end I'm really glad she was stuck with me. We bonded over my heaving, & her chopping up a dead pig. Poor Piggy! I am 99% sure we named her Charlotte. But I can't remember. Maybe she'll chime in. Cause we're......get this....STILL FRIENDS. 4 years later. She is my longest relationship.  She is, with out a doubt. My best friend. We've had our ups and downs. But mostly ups. We've been there for each other through a lot. Break ups, relationships, weddings, babies. (well me anyway. Still waiting for her to find her one and pop some friends out for my kids)

She was my MOH

My other closest friendship, however, substantially newer. I met Em online, on a TTC forum we both frequent. We know more about each others vaginas than I care to discuss. We had almost an instant connection online, & then we decided, lets meet in person. She only lives 30 minutes away so why the hell not? At first we'd planned coffee, but cancelled. I think we were both nervous. Not in a "You could be a 40 year old pervert" way. But more in a "Our relationship is awesome online, what if we don't get along in person?" way.  We ended up going to a concert this summer. It was a total blast & we've been even closer ever since. Not awkward, & we get along better than either of us thought. We "get" each other. We can sense somethings up with the other. As creepy as it might sound to the blog world. I had a dream about Em, I was hosting her baby shower....I had a newborn, about 2 months old. I had this dream before I even knew we were pregnant. What is crazy about this dream you might ask? Em & her husband have been dealing with Infertility. Which I hate, with every being of my body. I've never met more deserving of a child people. This month they are trying a new fertility treatment, I have this gut feeling its "the one". I've "seen" it in my dream.

 

Some moments in life, you just connect with certain people. Besides Mr.C and CB, Meg and Em are the closest thing I have to soul mates. 

This Ribbon got sappy all of a sudden.
