Bestest Friends In The World

Wednesday night Cameron and Libby were in town so I got to meet up with them. I was so happy to be around people that actually knew me and had an understanding of me.  Little did I know how much more was in store for me. 

As Cameron and I sat talking in walk Todd and Kristen! I could not believe it.  I screamed and ran to them as fast as I could.  It had been 6 months since I'd seen them and they have been so greatly missed.

I cried.

We all went out to eat and just enjoyed being back together. It was so great!

Another thing is that I was house sitting for the Maurer's and TK had set it up with them prior for all of us to stay there.  It was awesome to have a place to go back and just be able to hang out, it was almost like being back at Casa de Barnett.

Thursday morning, I had the day off so I got to sleep in, only to wake up and have my best friends there.  But it only gets better....

Todd was hungry so he went out to try to find something to eat.  He got "lost" and brought yet another surprise.  I walked in the living room and Amy Carlson was standing there. 

I cried again.  

I could not believe it. The four of us were back together and it was a comfortable feeling beyond words.  There are so many times down here that I get so lonely and feel as though there is nobody that truly knows me or even begins to understand me, but here were three people that seem to know me better than I myself do most of the time.

We had such a great time.  The late nights, inappropriate sayings, eating out, laughing, venting, taking pictures, driving, getting lost, and just being with each other.

I can not tell you how thankful I was to all three of them and the sacrifices they made to spend Thanksgiving with me. The long drive, the plane tickets, and being away from their families. I hope they found the weekend well worth it.

Them being here, seriously refreshed me and gave me the second wind I was in great need of. 

Thank you friends! It means more than you'll ever know. 

Thanksgiving is coming.

This year it truly doesn't feel like Thanksgiving though.  I'm staying here in North Carolina, so not being with my family is proabably the largest reason it doesn't feel like the holiday is truly here.

I'm excited to stay around here and actually get to spend some time with my NC family and have a day to relax and of course eat.

Hope all of you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Heres to the good life or so they say
All those parties and games that all those people play
They tell me this is the place to be
All these beautiful people and nothin to see

Sometimes I feel like something is gone here
Something is wrong here, I dont belong here
Sometimes I feel like a stranger in town
And Ive lost what I found, itll all turn around

In a little while Ill be thinkin about you
In a little while Ill still be here without you
You never gave me a reason to doubt you
In a little while Ill be thinkin about you baby...Ill be thinkin about you baby

On the other side of a coin
Theres a face theres a memory somewhere that I cant erase
And theres a place that I find someday
But sometimes I feel like its slippin away

Sometimes I feel like something is gone here
Something is wrong here, I dont belong here
Sometimes I feel like a stranger in town
And Ive lost what I found, itll all turn around

In a little while Ill be thinkin about you
In a little while Ill still be here without you
You never gave me a reason to doubt you
In a little while Ill be thinkin about you baby...Ill be thinkin about you baby

Some things are lost some left behind
Some things are better left for someone else to find
Maybe in time I can finally see
I just wonder, wonder if you think about me

Sometimes I feel like something is gone here
Something is wrong here, I dont belong here
Sometimes I feel like a stranger in town
And Ive lost what I found, itll all turn around

It's 10-10: My favorite day next to 4-4 out of the whole year!
