allow me to reminisce

the most recent of my memories came to me this morning when i received my ticketmaster update of shows coming in november. hanson is coming the 21st! i know, i know..."hanson?" you say. well see i didn't like the ummm bop days of hanson, but after that i've enjoyed them. my friend jennifer and i found (or were we given?) an interactive cd-rom of them when their second album came out. we watched the music videos and the clips about their lives and started to have crushes on them. i liked the oldest one and she liked the middle one (i'm thinking that was how it went). we decided ashley porter should like the third one so it would be complete, but she never really caught on. oh that was fun while it lasted! another one of my memories is a bit more serious. the other night i helped my friend terra create her own blog. and within the conversation she told me i should be a writer because my blog was so funny and that i was a good teacher. this meant the world to me since i've really been doubting my abilities lately. but it also reminded me of my freshman year at evangel and the friends i made. we did everything together and i was more myself then than i have been in awhile. they are such amazing friends that they came in for my wedding after not seeing me for 3 years. it made me think about my decision to transfer here. i know i needed to come to ncu - too many things have confirmed that - but i had a really hard time wanting to make friends here. i didn't want to leave the great ones at evangel behind. but they have been such true friends to me. even though i don't talk to them constantly or get to see them much, when we do make a connection it's priceless and almost as if we were never apart. i thank God for friends that are part of our lives for a season, but i am also greatful for friends who will be there years down the road because our time together was so sweet.
