Finally, A Real Conversation

Today I had met up with one of my best friends from high school. She came down to Austin to visit, and we had time just to sit and talk. What I thought would just end up being an hour talking, turned into an epic five hour get together. We went to Mozarts, then trekked over to Rudy's. It was great reminiscing on how much has changed since high school, and how much has stayed that same. I had the chance to express all the excitement I had for my trip to Korea, and she was able to tell me all the stories she had of her study abroad experience in Spain. It was a great time to really converse. We talked about everything, from our families to relationships, to school, to the future, to marriage (apparently a few people from my high school are getting married), to just about anything and everything. It was an awesome time for me to feel like someone really cared, and it was nice to really care about what she was going through. It was one of those, "thank God for friends like you" kind of moments. It was a very encouraging time for me, as she reminded me just how able I am to do the things that God has in store for me, and also at the same time, she reminded me of how I'm still learning so much. Bethany is probably one of the coolest friends I have, also the smartest (she was the saluditorian at our high school which is saying a lot). I am so glad that I have friends like her, that I am sure that she would still be my friend, even if I did something horrible, like murder someone. But yeah, it was nice to be able to talk to someone, and have both sides enjoy the conversation. That was refreshing.
