SPT- Make new friends and keep the old

I was pretty excited to see this week's assignment because I have recently had the chance to get together with some "old friends," a few teammates from USU gymnastics. Right before I left California, I got together with Kelcy, Kyla, and Kristin (a.k.a. Bloomie).

I hadn't seen Kyla and Kelcy since I was a senior, and Bloom since I was a sophomore! It was so much fun to catch up with them and find out what they are all up to these days. Kelcy is a personal trainer now- which so doesn't surprise me! She has always loved to work out. It was funny to see her in the way I was so used to- in a workout top and sweats. It was like she never changed! Kyla is so funny- we had fun shopping around Huntington and it felt just like old times! She cracks me up and is always up for a good time. Bloomie is in nursing school (I am trying to convince her to become a NICU nurse) and loving it. She recently broke up with the guy she has been dating since her freshman year (this is a good thing) and is dating someone new, who she says is amazing and treats her like a princess. I am so happy for her! I had a great time at lunch with the three of them.

I got to see Sarah while I was in Denver, and I haven't seen her since our sophomore year (about 4 years ago!) but when we got together it felt like we had never been apart- I love when that happens! We went to the outlets together and ordered pizza- yum. It was cool because we are in very similar places in life- her little boy Austin is six months older than Max, and she and her husband Ryan were married a few months after Danny and I. You can see her blog under Sarah and Ryan. She is so much fun and I loved that we were able to get right back into the swing of things. I was also so happy to be able to see Austin dedicated at her church on mother's day, just one week after Max was blessed(which I swear I am going to blog about). I loved spending time with Sarah!

As for new friends, I suppose that is going to be a big part of the next chapter in my life, when we get settled in Utah. One part of me is excited to see the changes and new friends I will meet but sometimes I feel like I am sick of starting over and making new friends- we have moved so much! But it will be fun since there will probably be a lot of other young moms to get to know. I am also very excited to get to spend time with our old friends in Utah again. It will be great!
