Yesterday evening I heard someone on the radio talking about how most women between the ages of like 25 and 35 (or something around that) have only had their current group of friends for 5 yrs. They said with all the changes you go through in life, people usually only keep their friends that long because your friends change as you do something new, like graduating college, getting married, having kids, moving for jobs, etc etc. I thought that was very sad for those people. I mean I am not still friends with everyone I grew up with (although I am with an important few), probably because we all went down the same path, but at least we are still friends. I am also the luckiest girl to have the friends I have from college. I think it doesn't happen for everyone, which I only recently realized that some people in our house did not graduate with a wonderful group that they still keep in touch with. But with our group, it's not like we just keep in touch, we do things together. And yes not all of us see each other all the time, but when things are planned with eachother, we are there and we have fun and it always makes me happy to think of times with them. I cannot imagine them trading me in for somebody else who is in the exact same moment as them, say, not wanting to have kids yet, or the few that aren't married yet, I don't think they'd say Lori, don't want to hang out with you because you're married. Nope, we all get together, with or without husbands, with or without boyfriends, with or without kids and we all know that everyone is welcome at anytime. Anyway, the story made me sad for all those other people out there that find new friends every 5 years. But it made me happy to know I have such a great group of girls I love and love to call my friends!
On another note....I never really was a fan of Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice), although I am a huge fan of her husband's [looks]. I thought she was too skinny, too mean looking, and why did she always wear sunglasses, you never see her eyes. And then I made Cory watch 'Coming to America' last night with me because I was so curious about her. And I have to tell you, I enjoyed it, I enjoyed her, and I wish it was an actual series instead of that one special. She was funny, she was sweet, she was silly and dumb sometimes, but I liked her! So, I will now apologize for any mean things I ever thought about her. I am now a fan.

I watched it, too. Being married to a huge soccer fan, I have always loved David (hot, hot, hot). And, one day I want to be as glamorous as her.
I am one of those sad people. I try and keep in touch with as many people as I can, which is one the reasons I love these blogs. But, we move so much and so do most of the people that I meet. Not one of the women that I was good friends with in Germany is still there. They are spread all over.
We are going to try and get stationed at FT Lewis sometime. Then, I can take time to reconnect with everyone that I have lost touch with. It will be great, most of the people that I loved the most at school are in the Seattle area.
But, with the Blog, I already feel so much more in touch with you!
