Waiting for the Gold to Surface
Do you ever get the feeling that your life is on pause and you’re waiting for someone to press the play button? ‘Cause I’m feeling like that right now. We’ve finally gotten the apartment thing figured out. At least now we know where we’re going to live, but our stuff is still back east. So now I’m just waiting… Waiting to get our stuff to Washington state.. Waiting to start my sweet new job… Waiting to make more friends out here. Well in the friendship department we’ve made some progress. We’ve met a couple really cool families. One family, after we met them for the first time, invited us to join them for lunch at a really neat restaurant downtown. They are a riot. Just Super cool. Another couple, whom we found out also likes to shop at Ikea, has offered to help us unload the moving truck when we get back. I’ve already invited them to dinner as soon as we get our stuff setup in the new apartment.
You know it’s really something special getting to know new people. Each one is almost like a new adventure. There are twists and turns and new discoveries around every corner, some good, some interesting. But then again sometimes it’s what I live for. Because often when you least expect it you find one that turns to gold. I’ve been really fortunate in that respect. Somehow in the muddle that is life I seemed to have amassed the coolest bunch of friends a person could have.
Now the only problem I have is trying to get them all in one place. Earlier today I was talking with “E” and lately he has been reminiscing about all the good times our group enjoyed and how it seems most of us are now on the West Coast. Wouldn’t it be great to have a community filled with all of your best friends and their friends. A place where everybody knows your name… And they’re always glad you came…
Please tell me I didn’t just say that.
I must be getting tired. The brain is starting to slip.
