I've been living in College Station, TX for a little over a year now and I can't believe I'm going to say this, but this is probably the best place I've ever lived. I feel like deleting that even as I type it, but it's true.
It's not so much the place as the people. I don't know if it's that I'm different, the people are different or if I'm just at a place in life where it happens, but I have made 5 of the best friends I've ever had. AND I even have a few back ups in case any of them turn out to be duds!
I'm 27, been married for almost 5 years and haven't had a best friend since high school, with the exception of my totally rad sister, Laurie, but most of that has been long distance. I guess what I'm getting at is why now?
I was talking to my rad sister and she said its taken 27 years for me to learn to like people. Which may very well be the answer because I can be quite the loner. Usually there's only enough room for me, myself and I...and sometimes my husband. I don't know why I've been thinking about it so much lately, but I've just been amazed at how at ease I am with these women. I've had some of the best conversation in the last month and I just keep thinking I've been missing out.
I was talking with a friend the other day about how cool we both are and she said "I'm starting to get attached so if you really do suck tell me now." That may be the best thing I've ever heard! I'm going to leave the sucking for my husband to deal with because we have the best time together.
Have you experienced the same thing or have I just been to pre-occupied with myself to notice how cool everyone else is?

I'm so excited for you!! It is such a great place to be in when you are surrounded by women who adore you as much as you adore them. You've worked hard to develop these friendships and I'm so glad it has been worth it. YAY FOR YOU!
Thanks for moving my favorite song up to the top. Fabulous! Now I'll just refresh the page instead of having to move up and replay that song over and over again. I'm addicted to it!
Your making me homesick for College Station. I miss all the girls SO much, just not the same here!
awesome! i think it's something that comes with a little maturity. there is an age that you realize other women are GREAT! not in a weird way but you realize that yes they have the same issues, and struggles, and feelings . and it's not all about boys or highschoolish stuff.
glad you found your happy place! and a rad friend that doesn't suck!
I think it is definitely a gift to be surrounded by good friends. I KNOW that is why I moved to where I did. Good friends are our angels on earth.
I'm 40 and I just got my first group of real friends since I was a kid....so you're not doing too bad!
It is the BEST I'm just sad I was 40 when I found them!
That's because you're finally living in an area that mostly consists of home grown, down-to-earth, native, conservative Texans. Contrast that with the suburbs. Had I stayed in Texas to go to college, Texas A&M would have been my first and only choice.
yay for really good friends. it is so true. when you find a group of girls you feel like you can't live without. it makes a huge difference in your life :)
SO excited! I love my girlfriends...and it's even better when they live by you, I know!!
No wonder you aren't blogging, girl!! With all those new friends, who has time?!!
:)
Well I love you that much. You have been a wonderful friend to me and a great listener. I love you to pieces and wish we had more time to hang out. I love and miss ya girl.
Suz
are you trying to say i am not your best friend?
Well, apparently you are as cool and nice in real life as you appear in blogland. Perhaps it's that you've finally let people near enough for them to find it out too. There is nothing like having good friends who really know you, still love you! LOL!
That is so awesome! I was worried about you for a while there. Just kidding! I'm glad you've been able to open up to let these wonderful women into your life, I know it was hard for you. Who wouldn't love you! ;)
