Top 2 Tuesday…Things I’ve learned about friendship

I’m about to eat my momma’s words {I bet she will love this} and say the first most important thing I’ve learned about friendship is…my mom and sister ended up being my best friends. She would tell me when I was a teenager and I thought she was sooo embarrassing, “You know, one day we will be best friends.” It hit me that she was right the day she flew out to go home and I was moved in to my new apartment getting ready to start college. I figured that my sister would be one of my bestest friends because I always looked up to her {even though she is the younger one}. She’s so dang cute, stylish, independent and has the easiest personality.
My #2 would be no matter the distance, the time, or just the business of life, they are there for you. I can think of a few friends {1 from elementary school, 1 from high school, 1 from college and 1 from my newlyed years} that every time I talk to them, we just click again. We don’t have to know day to day stuff, but I just know them, the good and the bad and they know that about me. It’s so nice to have friends that put effort into the relationship because I sometimes feel like an idiot if I’m the only one calling!
One extra tidbit that I didn’t want to leave out. I feel I have found a true friend when I can invite myself and my kids over for a playdate, a lunchdate or a shopping date, they see me in “lounge clothes” more than not, and they learn I don’t wear makeup before noon {if it goes on at all}.

Little Miss L, her momma and her momma’s momma. My husband thinks he’s hilarious when he talks about me cutting the umbilical cord. I know some people can relate!
