Will you be my friend?

     I was feeling inspired tonight; not particularly because I have anything to say, but more because I have this inexpressible feeling inside me that I have to get out somehow. And if all else fails I can make every attempt to make you feel it too in hopes that this moment/feeling isn't lost. Tonight I had dinner with K. I met K the first day of 7th grade after having my Dad walk me to the bus stop, because Heaven fodbid that I walk alone! For all that I am outspoken, opinionated, obnoxious, loud, bossy, intelligent, she is more so. In fact once upon a time K, K, And I were going to start a law firm together (It would have been KB & Associates, not KKK. Crazy when friends all have the same initials). Last time I saw K was General Conference April 2007, she was 5 months pregnant. Three children and a death later, we finally were able to go to dinner.

     K is amazing. She is so strong, so lovable, so generous, so kind, so inspiring. She is part of who I am. Isn't it "funny" how people come into our lives and just fit? K fits. We are opposites in so many ways, similar in so many others, and none of it implies that we would ever be friends, yet 11 years later here we are.

Some other people who just "fit":

    To friends who are always there right when you need them.  So this is not even recognizable as the post planned in my head, and there are so many others who could be on this list but I just don't have pictures with them on my computer. But K got me through some interesting years, and knows me well enough to send me cleaning rags in a Christmas package. K (the other one) also needs an mention; I also met her the first day of 7th grade, she was the first one to say "Hi" to me, my Siamese twin (we share a brain). She got me through some other interesting times. B who I didn't meet until 11th grade and I was slightly intimidated by her at first...until a certain camp-out, but she is definitely my emotional-breakdown-go-to-girl. We shared a personality, I was just more vocal (we found our own, no worries). M who for some unknown reason still puts up with me and V who didn't know what she was getting her self into sophomore year. I love you all!
