Girl Time

I do not have a spontaneous bone in my body so when my friend sent me a text saying....

"come to Utah." 

I found myself mindlessly buying a plane ticket that was set to fly out in a week. 

It also happened to be one of our friend's wedding that weekend. 

I love my husband very much, but there is nothing that can replace a long chat with an old friend. Kris isn't old, just our friendship ;) 

She asked me how I wanted to spend my time and I answered, "Honestly, sleeping in and reading a chapter of my book would make me happy." 

And that's what I did. Of course we threw in the zoo, Temple Square, attended some BYU classes, saw some friends from high school, met some new friends, and finally tried the famous fry sauce (loved it btw). 

I did miss Dante and Scarlett but as our time went on and as we found ourselves in these meaningful (much needed) conversations, I didn't want to go home. I realized just how much I missed having someone to talk to who knows me who is a girl! I never wanted our time to end. 

Sometimes people put on this stereotype that once you get married, you are only friends with your husband and he is the only person who you come to with your problems and inhibitions. 

I disagree to a certain extent. 

Women are supposed to uphold each other and are born to be nurturers. Women have keen senses that men just don't bear. That's ok! That's what makes girlfriend relationships so fun!

As I talked to her, I learned more about her and our bond became stronger. I was starting to feel like I wasn't alone.

I so wish my time could have lasted longer but I know I'll be seeing her sooner than later. 

I love the quote that says, "this is not good bye, it's just see you later."
