My Inspiration, My Friend

I feel that now would be a good time to admit to something that my pride has so conveniently gotten in the way of for the past... three days, at least (laughing out loud would be a good idea at this point).

My inspiration for starting a blog came from my dear friend, and former Eastman Youth Choir colleague, Jennifer Anne.

The reason that I say this (about my stupid pride) is because, honestly, I am jealous of that girl! I hate that little green-eyed monster that gets in the way of my true feelings (and, NO, I am not referring to Jenni as a 'green-eyed monster', it's JEALOUSLY that we're talking about here). I really do love her so much! She is beautiful, talented, kind, funny, outgoing, and an amazing friend! And you know what? I'm almost one hundred percent sure that she would say the same thing about me.

The crazy thing is, I haven't seen her all summer (well, actually I haven't seen her since my birthday in March), and I miss her now more than ever! Which is strange seeing as we hardly ever spend time with each other, let alone keep in contact. And now she's in British Columbia and I won't see her for a long time. It actually hurts that I didn't get to say 'goodbye' to her before she left.

We had always planned on having a sleepover before summer was over, but it never happened. I know it had a little to do with my lack of organizational skills, and a lot to do with the fact that I was just too busy to care. And for that, I feel awful.

So Jennifer, my dear friend, I hope you can forgive me for my lack of dedicated-ness, and I promise that when you come back to visit, there will be a long evening of movies and girl talks and fun times waiting for you at my house, rain or shine.
