i have, all of a sudden, found myself surrounded by guys who i consider friends. to be quite honest, it has come as a complete surprise. i can't tell yet if i've let my guard down a little or if these guys just don't care.
i have a couple of guys that i have breakfast with once a week. we talk about life and love and hobbies. and we talk about scripture. right now we're in judges because i kind of feel like the old testament gets neglected. we sit and enjoy runny caf eggs and chocolate milk. anyone is welcome to the table. i look forward to that time every week.
i have a workout buddy that has become a bit of a bromance. whether it be ensemble rehearsal or gym time i see him almost every day of the week...completely by accident. we invite our girlfriends to go on our dates sometimes. all four of us (me, him, and both our girlfriends) are going to cape town, south africa together in may. and, yes, we are going to be buff one day.
i have a friend who may very well be a younger (and much cooler) version of me. it is a bit odd really. he knows how to have fun, but we can also have deep discussions about faith and god that stagger even the cynic in me. he also makes me go to accounting which, in and of itself, is a miraculous appointment. i am as much enamored of his coolness as i am humbled by his attitude for life. its a winning combination.
and then there is my best friend. my brother. i think he and i have experienced enough extremes together in life to realize that, in some form or fashion, we will always have to be in each other's life. we understand each other enough to be okay in disagreement. we also have the same sense of humor which gets us into more trouble than should be legal (and sometimes isn't). i honestly do not know what i would do without him. he is a blessing in my life.
so, i guess i can't whine about not having guys in my life that i connect with. it was easier than i expected, and (as i always predicted) it came out of nowhere.
