Old, comfortable friends are the best friends. Carl and I went to visit Alina and Aaron in Denver, Colorado. The best thing about old friends one has not seen in a long time is that your friendship picks up where it left off.
The way we picked up where we left off was to laugh about silly happenings, go out to dinner, and chat about the life we had in Utah and why Portland is the number one place to live.... Oh, and have an ear candle party at random. Again, Google University will take you to places you never knew existed should you not know what an ear candle is.
It's always hard to leave people who make you feel your best and let you be yourself. There is something to be said about tenured friendships. Alina and I have known one another nearly fourteen years. We've both found the best of the best men for relationships who both get along as if they were there alongside Alina and I all fourteen of those years. Luckily, this latest separation will be one of our last as Alina and Aaron are planning to move to Portland (unless Aaron lands a killer job which he interviews for tomorrow) this spring. At long last, we'll be in the same city yet again!
We had such a fun time chatting that we forgot to break out the camera, not even once did we reach for it.
Alas, we head west and once again. Who knows where the wind will blow us.
Hi Alina!!! I hope you are doing well!
