friends? really?

ever wonder how or why you're friends with the people you're friends with? i have a friend who moved out of state about 6 months ago. i just got to spend the day with her this past weekend. she is one of my favorite people in the world. but we are so amazingly different. seriously different.

i really don't understand how we became friends in the first place. she is a people lover! organized to the max. out and about on a regular basis. i am more of a 'i'll get to know you first before i'm really friendly with you' kind of person. i like to be organized, but on most accounts, i'm so not. and i am a homebody. her creativity comes from a party planning/decorating (people oriented) avenue (she's fabulous) and my creativity is in more of a photography/jewelry making (solo oriented) direction.

people who know both of us kind of wonder at the hows and the whys, but i love her and i think she's one of those 'for life' kind of friends. no matter how long it's been since we've talked or hung out, as soon as we get together it's like no time has passed.

maybe it's because we balance each other out. she inspires me in so many ways. i could never do half the things she does, and i don't think i'd even want to try. i look at her and see her creativity, her fabulous kids, and her beautiful home and know that she's my friend. i'm excited for her and for the things to come for her.
