I've been looking at life ALL wrong :)

So we went out to eat on Saturday night to help celebrate my good friends huge accomplishment of getting her MBA.  While standing in a circle holding hands at the end of the night it hits me.  I am looking at life all wrong!  I spend countless hours worrying about getting stuff done for my job, keeping the house clean, organizing, etc... I need to knock that off!  This...right here, right now is what I should be thinking about.  I need to put my love for others first!  I need to make time for them, support them and enjoy them!

We got many calls during our dinner that the roads were getting bad and we needed to head home.  Leaving Sioux City the roads were fine.  Once we hit Jackson they were really bad.  Huge annoying snowflakes coming down, snow packed, and icy roads that were really slowing us down!  Seriously?  Then we get a call from our friends who were two cars behind us...Come back here was the only thing they said.  We go back wondering if something happened to their car.  They jump out and Amanda says, "Look at these snowflakes!  Aren't they beautiful?"  Wait...what?  These huge snowflakes were slowing down my fun. I stop and look.  She is right!  They are HUGE and AMAZING!  We played in the snow and took pics!  I need to do this more often.  I need to stop thinking ahead as to what we will be doing next or what I have to get done.  I need to just dance in the snow!!!

We get to the bar for my friends "surprise party"....There were 2 other people there.  The roads got bad and no one could make it!  Ugh!  Her night is ruined!!!!  She deserves a big bash!  You know what?  I enjoyed that night at the bar than most other nights.  Maybe it's because I actually remember it because I couldn't drink (haha) or maybe, just maybe it was the company.  Yep.  Every person that I needed there was.  I got to sit and talk to people I don't have near enough time to talk to.  Some much needed girl time happened.  I don't need a million "acquaintances" surrounding me.  Nope.  I need a few AMAZING friends.  That's exactly what happened that night.  

Honestly, I'm not lucky!  I am blessed!  I am surrounded by so many absolutely amazing people!!!  They continuously show me what is important in life!  I want to love and support those around me.  I want to stop worrying so dang much and just stop and enjoy the now.  I want to keep those amazing friends close and realize that's all I need :)

With that said, I do HAVE to get my classes done.  2 more and I'm done.  So say a little prayer that they don't consume my life and I stay motivated enough to get it done and be done by August and then can focus on more important things...whatever that may be at the time :)
