Faithful in the Fray

This weekend was full of my best friends and it made my heart so happy.

My best friend who makes me feel like I’m 47 but also 22 turned 24 on Saturday so we made a road trip down to the coast of Georgia and picked up our 3 hour away bestie to spend 24 hours together laughing, crying, eating, and celebrating.

Sunday my foster mom friend turned best mom friend and I road tripped to Charlotte to see a live show of a podcast she’s listened to for over six years. I did admit on the drive up I only knew one of the co-hosts and had zero context for what we were about to watch and be part of, but spending time with her was the most important part of the 24 hours for me and to please give me as much context as possible!

Road trips have a way of creating organic conversation for which I’m eternally grateful for, and after 16+ hours in the car between Friday & Monday, many conversations happened.

I’ve been in a season where it’s hard for me to sit down and be as intentional with my friendships as I have been in the past. My mental health took a toll earlier this year, my kids require a lot of hands on care, which I’m grateful to offer, my job is keeping my mind busy, and then there’s the whole being a wife and spending time with my guy best friend thing.

So yeah, hours and hours in the car were a lot, but the conversations were exactly what my heart needed.
