4 year anniversary today! @alliswell is my best friend- cant believe we’ve been together for 8 years total… Where has the time gone? - I use to have brown hair and his was long :) #love #marriage (Taken with instagram)
This weekend was my birthday.
It was a bitter sweet day. I was faced with getting one year older and in the midst of moving WAH WAH… however I was also faced with the most amazing friends. You see, Jared and I are moving so our apartment is practically empty. We talked about going laser tagging, paint balling, or doing karaoke but at the last minuete we decided to do a really small get together with some of our dear friends that we do life with. It was so cool to see people that Jared and I have built friendships with- come together for one night and get a long so well especially meeting each other for the first time.
Am I surprised? NO WAY- They are the most loving and accepting group of people.
These friends have taught me so much. They have taught me to not be so uptight. They have taught me to dream big. They have called me out on my crap cause they love me. They have taught me to look through a lens of grace. They have taught me that friendship is not based on a condition. They have taught me that a bunch of people who do not know each other can become friends in one evening. Money can not buy that. It was seriously the best gift I could ever have.
Friends sitting on our cowhide rug and floor pillows, playing catch phrase, eating the best gluten free cake my friend Courtney made while sipping Riesling that my friend Julia got me = a great evening.
Learning that grace and love has a much stronger effect than vengeance and hate- it has a bolder impact cause its harder to do.
what I’m learning..
Love my new heart knuckle ring I bought from a fsmnyc.com in Chelsea. :) #fashion #nyc #heart #love

Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced. -James Arthur Baldwin
Have you ever had a friendship completely dissolve only to find that you have no clue why? You search for answers and you come up short. No answers. No closure.
I, myself, have been on the wrong end of a disappearing friendship. For a while I was confused. The nonexistent closure in this relationship drove me crazy. I am one to jump into questions about what happened - “what is the common denominator?” “what did I do?” “what could I have done more of?” There seems to be an endless list of what’s and why’s.
It’s hard because when a friendship dissolves with zero fight - it makes you wonder what kind of foundation the friendship was built on in the first place.
I was talking with one of my friends the other day about how we we believe there are “chapter friends.” By that I mean those friends who are only in your life for a chapter. Or maybe a few chapters. But not for a series. It has taken time but I have learned to be okay with that. There were moments where I definitely was not. I thought to myself that friendship, in a way, should be like marriage- you fight for it, you confront each other when the other person is doing something hurtful, you shed grace, love, and do life together. But then I was honest with myself and realized that not everyone thinks that way about friendship and that it really is an unrealistic view of friendship. Though there are friends that understand the whole “for better or for worse/lets do life together/I will call you out on your crap and you should be ok with that/we will laugh and cry at what life throws at us” mentality those friends are rare. When you find them fight for them. Don’t give up easily.
I hate confrontation partially because I hate the idea of making the other person uncomfortable. Ick. It is something I have a hard time with. However, when someone hurts my feelings I do say nicely, “dude, that kinda hurt my feelings.” I do that solely because I would want someone to do that with me. It’s part of being real with each other. Relationships don’t grow if you don’t go through crud together. It’s those moments - the yucky ones- that make friendships stronger. And I, for one, think those are the friendships worth having.
So the phrase in this picture is so appropriate. “What we are is not what we once were” and I have now learned to be ok with that. I am thankful for the people that have been in my life because I have learned a lot from them. I now know that my view point that “things will always be the same” is unrealistic. :)
