It's so fun to hang out with Friends!!!

I've lived in the country for so long that I'm not used to being able to get together with friends regularly. I mean I have some awesome friends out in the country, but it always seemed like I had to drive at least 30 minutes or more to see people or to do something (unless of course it was a walk in nature-which was always an option). I'm sort of enjoying being in an area now where I can drive 5-10 minutes, or even walk and I'm able to hang out with people. Although, now I'll miss the people that used to live out in the so called "boonies" with me (and I'm sure I'll miss the beauty of the country soon too-I always want what I don't have, of course).
It's been great though. I have this one friend M., that I get to see almost every week and we will do something fun, like go to the gym, or so to Bikram yoga (you sweat like a lawn sprinkler-don't personally reccommend it-though I enjoy other forms of yoga), or go out to breakfast at Sneakers, whatever. It's great to have a close friend. And tonight I was so excited I got to see my friend R. who I have not seen in almost a year (or more). She came down about an 1 1/2 from northern vermont because she is taking classes for her graduate program at UVM. So it was fun, the three of us got to catch up and hang out like old times. I'm excited because when I move up to Northern Vermont in May maybe I'll get to see my friend R. more. But I'll miss M. It's funny it certain ways I love change, like I get really tired of routine. But with friends its totally different. You wish things could be the same forever with friends, like you could make friendships last forever. This has happened to me so many times in life, you remember these people that used to be such great friends, and you loose contact with them, and wonder how their lives are now. It's kind of sad. Thats why I think it really important to make the effort to stay in contact with friends. Theres nothing in the world like having people you really know well, and they know you. It's great. But this is getting kind of sappy, I'm starting to tear up..... I just can't continue this post......... Goodnight.
