Friends

I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches. Psalm 119:14

Hi everyone! Thanks for the kind words about the doctors visit post. I forgot to mention that I may be put on a prescription for lactose intolerance (though I would rather just avoid dairy..) Also, my knee has felt pretty good the past two days-but i’m still not running!

My little sister, Hannah, turned 13 on August 10th!!

Hannah (on the left) looks so grown up!! We went out for Chinese for her b-day dinner.

Other foodie pictures:
Zucchini! I got a free HUGE zucchini from a fellow church member….

My baby.

Hannah wanted banana bread for her b-day instead of cake. RANDOM!

You know it… sweet potato fries!

Sweet potato-lentil soup + rice cake w/ SSB + green beans

My personal favorite as of late… Pizzadilla (pizza + quesedilla)

That’s all for today… I have been packing and hanging out with friends before I leave. I may do a post tomorrow on all of the stuff I have packed for the big move!

What should I not forget to bring to college?!

I totally consider everyone who reads and comments on my blog to be my friend. Is that weird/creepy?! If I see/hear something that reminds me of a fellow blogging friend I’m like “My blogging friend ______ does/cooks/says that” So basically I love you all.

But I want to talk about something different today. I want to discuss friends outside of the blogging realm. Unless i’m crazy, I feel like SO many bloggers never mention their friends and it totally makes me sad because friends make life better.

Sometimes I feel as if I only hear about bloggers working out and cooking. (But maybe that is the basis of their blog and they don’t want to mention friends?) In my eyes, working out and cooking are awesome, but friendships are so important as well.

I spent some time with my best friend last night and it felt so good to laugh. Like really hard. I thought i’d do a little tribute picture post to my bestie, Maddy!

How do you feel about bloggers and “real” friends? (Am I the only one who notices this?!)
