I feel like friendships are so much more complicated as an adult. Sometimes I miss the simplicity of seeing my friends everyday in class or living with my best friends (like in college).
Now, just to get together, you have to juggle kids' schedules, school schedules, work schedules, husbands' schedule. I miss just walking across the hall and borrowing a top from my best friend. What about having "couple friends"? Are you friends with most of your husband's friends' wives and vice versa? Do you have a big group of friends or a few close friends?
I have a lot of close friends, but not necessarily a "group" of friends. My husband has a few close friends and I like having a lot of friends (as hard as it is to juggle those schedules). I also like to be friends with my husband's friends' wives (and, fortunately I do like all of them!), but he's not necessarily friends with all of my friends' husbands.
Oh, and do you have a best friend? I miss those best friend necklaces, too!
See you tomorrow for Small Style, right?
I totally agree with you! I have been burnt by friends more times as an adult than I ever did in hs. I have a few close friends and I miss living next door to them all like I did in college. I typically get along really well with my hubby's friends' wives. Thank God! Friendship is so special.

I totally agree. Most of my college friends moved away (I'm still here) and I miss having that big group of friends. I'm so glad that I love all of my husband's friends' wives, too!
DeleteI didn't really have friends as a child, so now that I am older they mean so much to me to even have them, and thankfully I have a handful that are very close to me. The problem is that my two closest live the furthest away so I see them only a couple times a year and sometimes not even that often. It is hard when friends move away too.

Making friends as a grown adult is rough. I feel like even if I bond with someone, it's rare that we'll hang out often or even hang out again. I have friends who live less than a mile away and I see them twice a year. When I was working outside of the home (I have a home office now), I felt much more "connected" to friends because they were easier to make - we saw each other every day. Plus, it's not just about getting along with spouses now - the kids have to get along too!
ReplyDeleteI have been struggling with the whole "friends" thing since we moved to our new city 4 years ago. We are an hour and a half a way from our "old friends" and family so it is very easy to to see them, but we spend so much time seeing them on the weekends that we haven't really made any new ones and we haven't really explored our new city all that much! It really makes me miss random mid-week girls' nights. :(
