Speakable Joy: Sisterhood

As I sat here, pondering what to blog about yesterday something very exciting happened. I came across an amazing deal on a flight to see my best friend Erica, in Arizona! I have not seen her since my wedding, which has been over a year ago! It truly made my heart happy because since then she has had a precious baby boy, whom I cannot wait to meet!

As I was thinking of how excited I am to see her, I began to reminisce about the Sisterhood… I was half way through my sophomore year of college and was at a place in my life of loneliness, praying for some good, close friends. Well God did just that, He brought Erica into my life, she was on my hall in college (I was an R.A.) at the time and our friendship grew from there. My junior year she became an R.A. alongside two other amazing women, Stephanie and Angelica. We four became the Sisterhood! All so different in our own ways, yet became like sisters. However, with every season in life comes change, college could not last forever. We all ended up in very different places, starting new and exciting chapters in our lives.

Erica was the first to leave us, she moved backed to Arizona got married and just had a precious baby boy! Then Steph graduated and moved to Seattle, she is now a teacher and just got married! It broke my heart I could not attend her wedding but I am so excited for the new adventure she is on. Angelica was the last to leave me; we kept each other plenty company but she graduated and is living in Houston; which is not too far away but nonetheless far enough not to see each other. I am the only one left living in the same town where we all met. How I miss them all! Life gets busy and we do not get to talk as much as we would like but one thing I do know is that we will always have a special place in our hearts for each other! Friends will walk in and out of your life but some will make a difference. These women made a difference in my life! Here is to the Sisterhood!
