Day 10- "things happen for a reason"

When I first met this friend we only talked briefly in social gatherings and didn't say much.  She was very outgoing and got along with everyone.  I was pretty much the same.  We saw each other at pub crawls, galas, and friend's parties.  We just never really clicked at the time.  She moved to Atlanta to be closer to her significant other, but returned often to visit friends and family nearby.  After we both went through a crappy break up with our significant others (only 3 months apart), she found herself back in Minnesota.  At that time we began to hang out more and realized we had so much in common!

We eventually started taking snowboard lessons together, went out, watched movies, had doggie playdates, a Vegas trip for my birthday and just really had a great time hanging out.  Soon enough we were even going on a trip to Cabo together!

Yet with this friend, it isn't just the fun stuff we do together because she truly is a wonderful person.  She listens, she gives advice and she cares about how you are doing and what things are going on in your life.  She is a great friend not only to me, but to so many people in her life.  Although unfortunate circumstances brought us together, I believe things happen for a reason and am so thankful for these things brought us together!

Here's to you Brenda!
