My Boys.

       My guy friends are SO much cooler than yours, like a billion times cooler than yours. Actually there isn't even a number for how much more fantastic they are than whoever your's are. Their names are Fat, Phatty, Fatter and Fatest. Haha, I don't really call them that, but that's how they refer to themselves...
Why are my boys so amazing?

*They come to visit me at 12 at night because nobody called me that day. Or they'll come to visit me and talk just because they can.
*Sometimes they'll sneak in through my back door and scare the heck out of me.
*When I had a bad day, they brought me pizza.
*After watching Lord of the Rings, they would hug me because they knew I was terrified.
*One of them has the FUNNIEST laugh ever, and when he laughs we'll all just sit there together and laugh at his laugh.
*They'll play with my hair.
*They give the best hugs in the entire world, the kind where they just squeeze you. I love that!
*It doesn't make a difference to them if I'm wearing cute clothes or have my makeup and hair done.
*They don't mind that I'm the most boring person in the world, and that I depend on them to keep the conversations going.
*They care about me (not in like a 'lovey' way) and don't flip out when I accidentally say the wrong thing.
(There are a lot of other things, but I don't want to make this super long.)
      I can't say that I love them more than my girls, because that would be a lie. But I do love then in a different way than I do my other friends.
       A year ago today I would have never guessed that I would have the wonderful relationships with these boys. I was so lost then, I was so sure I would never have anyone to fall back on like I do now, like my boys. I'm so grateful for them, for their humor and kindness and generosity, they really are great kids. I am such a blessed person to have them in my life. It helps reassure me that there are lots of people out there that are trying to make this world a better place.
       And who knows if I'll be their friend at this time next year, maybe one of them will have to suddenly move. Maybe in 5 years we'll all be gone our separate ways, I don't know, I can't see into the future. But whatever happens I know I'm who I am today because I knew them, I'm so thankful for right now, and I want to make the most of it.
