This picture is over a year old, but I really like it.
Natalie is really one of the only people I'm still friends with from high school and that I regularly talk to. We've been friends since grade school, were in the same Girl Scouts troop, sat next to each other in band in middle school, played tennis together in high school, and made cupcakes instead of going to prom.
I got to chat with her earlier this afternoon on Facebook and over texting, neither of which I'm really a fan of as far as friendship communication goes, but we both really do not like talking on the phone, so anything else works for us. We talked about decisions, husbands, dance classes, friends, and being 26 and 9 at the same time.
Recently, I've been analyzing my friendships (I'm strange, I know), and today I realized why Natalie and I are friends: we're both very mature for our age, but, at the same time, have the hearts of nine-year-olds; we can talk about almost anything, and our friendship has never seen drama, which is something I can't say about most of my other high school friendships; and we love each other and are happy when the other's happy and there when not everything is going right. I'm thankful for this.
