Oh, I have been so busy lately, but it’s been really fun. My friend Adam just moved back to Oregon after an almost five-year stint in California. (Don’t worry we got him back before he started acting all Californian…but it was a close one!) So he has been over the last few nights. He came over Sunday night and we made some yummy Margarita Chicken on the BBQ and caught up on old times. It has been ages since we have talked, so there was much to catch up on.

Then last night Adam called my cell phone and was chatting with Sim about his house hunting when his phone suddenly cut out. You can imagine our surprise when a few minutes later he showed up on our doorstep! So he came in and told us about his first day at his new job and his frustrations with finding a house up here. But Sim and I both know he really came for the high speed internet access and Wi-Fi!

So seeing Adam again got me thinking about how long we have been friends, and he reminds me that it has been since fourth grade! Can you imagine that? There are people I went to college with a few short years ago that I haven’t spoken to in ages, yet Adam and I have managed to stay friends, and more importantly stay in contact, for over 15 years! That is really quite impressive!

However it makes me wonder where all the other friendships went wrong. Were we just never meant to be lasting friends? Did our differences just change so drastically? And where are they all now? I’m still a few years away from a high school reunion, but I wonder what has happened to all of my friends over the years. Was “BFF” really just a big sham?
