A true friend.

So I thought of this quote today,

A true friend rejoices in your successes and offers encouragement when you're down. :)

and relized how fitting it is for this time. I'm not self loating or trying to get someone to read a hidden message, but how fitting this quote is for this semester.
Issues have come and gone and a lot changes when people mature or progress with life, wither that be good, bad or indifferent. But I am finding it imporatant to remember that a true friend rejoices in your success (doesn't show jelousy or condisending thoughts) and offers encouragement when you'e down.
I read an article in O magizine last week about a lady who had recieve a journal from her life long friend and in that journal there were notes and letters between the two and the lady who recieved the gift relized that the woman that was pertrayed in those letters wasn't the woman she felt like she had been. Her notes were full of sorrow that she felt for herself, and few questions about how her friend was doing.  I realize now that I don't want to look back and see that same image. I want to know that for every time i've had a pitty party that I have RSVP'd to my friend in needs pitty party. Obviosly I'd RSVP to a party of a friend.
so with all those thoughts I leave with a true friend REJOICES in your successes and offers encouragement when you're down.

I'm really trying to get better at this!

So I know I'm not the greatest at this but I'm trying, tonights post won't be anything special because my keyboard on my computer is DRIVING ME NUTS!!! It doesn't detect all the keys I hit there for most of the time what I am trying to type ends up missing a bunch of letters! That's just annoying!! But I started my last semester at K-State!!!! :) (Grades pending)
The main purpose of tonights blog is to state... Wait for it... Wait for it.... I Love My Mom!!!

My first day of classes kind of had me down, stress of life after college and even just trying to finish. All it took was a call to my mom at 10 to ask her to look at something and then I said something funny (I guess) and next thing I know I'm laughin so hard I'm crying and I can't understand my mom cause she's laughing so hard!! This isn't rare for my mother and I to get the giggles, we've almost had to pull over from laughing so hard. This is just one of the many reasons I love my mom, she fixed my day!
Disclaimer: I also adore my Dad, he made me the most independent girl I know!!! (aside from Regan, I still have so much to learn) Just tell me how many Dad's get their girls craftsman drills and tool for Chritmas'. He is amazing. I guess I'll step off my soapbox now!! Night!

PS this posting took over 40 min to type up. Thanks Toshiba keyboard.
