I'm happy because I got to hang out with two of my best friends from high school (who are still my best friends but are married and one lives in California and the other is moving to New Mexico this week so I don't get to see them as much as I'd like). We always have fun together. As we drove up to Salt Lake, Melanie and I laughed for the entire hour. Then when we got there we made cracks and joked with my other best friend Dayna (she's pregnant and it was her baby shower) for the entire two hours, like we were stand-up comedics. And then Melanie and I laughed all the way home. My face hurt after laughing so much, but I felt really good in my heart.
I love being with Melanie. She brings out a really quirky side of me. Like she said at the end of the evening--"I love hanging out with you. It doesn't matter what we do, I know that if you are going to be there we're going to have fun." That was such a nice thing to say, and it's so true about her and me.
I am happy that I am blessed with so many wonderful friends, both new and old. I am happy that people care about me and that I bring joy to their lives. This may be a bit sappy, but I'm just bursting with happiness and that doesn't always happen and I wanted to share.
