Vodka-rita's, Margarita's and laughing so hard my cheeks now hurt!

I have lived in SC for just over two years,,, miserable most of the time. Just as things started moving with this whole job thing several months ago, i was invited by of all people, my dental hygienist, to a Bunco party... Yes I said Bunco, a silly dice game for bored house wives...

I mustered my courage up to spend an evening with a dozen women I didn't know, and low and behold, some of them were actually pretty cool! There is one person in particular, who it just seems as though we have know each other for ever !! We have only gotten together a few times,,, but oh my,,, it is non stop laughter the whole time,,, It doesn't happen often that you meet people who actually 'get you'...

So we got together tonight,, for Vodka-rita's and Margarita's and many, many laughs,,, yes, my cheeks actually do hurt... and as we said good-bye, I couldn't help but think how odd it was that after all this time here, it wasn't until I find my way out that I find some people that actually make me happy...

I'm a firm believer that certain people come into your life at certain times for reasons beyond our understanding... As we touched on this topic, (after a couple drinks) it was nice to find out that we were on the same page... I'm not someone who lets a lot of people in my tight little circle,,, I have built some pretty high walls, to have found another person, who has put in the effort, and sees that value in friendship the way I do was an unexpected bonus... It has actually made me a little bit sad about leaving...

but I have a feeling this is one of those friendships that lasts,,,, regardless of geography, for that I am thankful...
