Doesn't she just look like a little bundle of fun? That's just exactly what she is. But she's a wise bundle of fun. And a sneaky one, too. She sees right through me, which is sometimes nice, and sometimes not nice. I can go into a conversation with this girl, and whether I intended to tell her or not, she'll always know just which questions to ask. Since I'm the world's worst liar, she really only has to look at my face to know the answer.
Something I love about her is that no matter what I'm talking to her about, I never feel like she's walking on eggshells. She doesn't sugarcoat things, and she speaks her mind.
We Skyped on Tuesday. We thought out loud together about how the transition out of the APU undergrad community has affected us. How we really have been coddled for the last 4 years, with our friends close by, activities to attend any night of the week, and encouragement in our faith around every corner. We talked about the future, where we hope to find ourselves in the next 12 months, what to expect, how to deal with disappointment and the required flexibility of this chapter of life.
We talked about so much more, but my point is, this girl helps me think. Even though we could probably spend hours together just laughing and being ridiculous, I am never left in want after a conversation with her.
Here's to wonderful friends (and a couple of scary geese at Huntington Library)!
Grace and peace,
Hilary
