Friends

When I first moved to Lubbock, I kept thinking I couldn't wait to get out of here. It's always windy, the summers are HOOOOOTTTTTT, and it's... well just plain ugly here. But now the thought of leaving next year makes me sick. I LOVE the friends we have made here. I don't think I will ever find a goup of women as amazing as the ones here (although I truly hope I do). And our group of friends are all in the same situation/stage of life as we are so we all understand the poor student thing, we all have kids, we get together for playgroups at least 2 times a week, we have girls nights, we have parties, the guy's play basketball, we all love and support each other. There is no judgement - just total acceptance of everyone. People come and go each year and the new comers are welcome and the people leaving are missed and we all just have a blast when we get together.

This time of year is fun - there have been lots of birthday parties and get togethers that just make me realize more and more how hard it is going to be to leave. Jaxon loves his friends here - how am I going to explain to him that he won't get to see them anymore when we have to leave?

I would live in windy, ugly, hot Lubbock for the rest of my life if it meant staying around these amazing people who have made my life and the past 2 years away from our families so amazing. It's going to be unbelieveably hard to leave - but until then - keep the parties, get togethers, girls nights, play dates, and everything else coming! We are so lucky and blessed to be here and we know this was the right place for us to come to Law School so we could be surrounded by so many amazing and wonderful people!
