Losing Great Friends

The military really bites sometimes...especially where we live. You run the risk of befriending military folk and then they get stationed a thousand miles away. Not fair. Don't get me wrong, I love the military, but I hate losing friends to it.

Amber and I have been best friends for a while. Since high school. I don't know what it was, but one day I just realized how alike we were. I can tell her anything and not be judged, and I hope she feels she can do the same.

She and Brandon are leaving me soon...all the way to Maryland. Boo on Maryland. Now who am I going to e-mail all day while I act like I'm working? Who am I going to shop with? Who am I going to meet for lunch, and secretly go shopping? I am going to miss her. It really sucks. "She's only a plane ride away"...not when you can't afford that plane ride. Bah Humbug.

Not to mention, James and I also just recently lost a great couple that we loved hanging out with. James and Nathan kind of forced me and Mary to hang out for the first time. We knew them from church, and they lived literally two blocks from us. I let James know that I didn't need any new friends, and that I enjoyed being a homebody. :) Plus, they had a newborn, and we had none, so I wasn't used to friends with kids yet. After numerous times of Nathan and James prodding and telling us we were so alike, we caved. We were like old friends in an instant! Three years later I consider them great friends and miss them terribly. Mary was always a great friend and so easy to talk to. She always had great Godly guidance to share. Nathan could always push James to do something physical...James loved that. :) God Bless you, Robertson's!
