This past week I was reminded how thankful I am for friendship.

These two drove 12 hours just so we could be together for the last Hunger Games movie. The best part: they completely surprised me! I must be really trusting because I had no clue even though several people had been lying straight to my face for weeks.

I’m thankful my friends were able to witness the winter wonderland in my new place. They might have admitted they were a little bit happy for me even though we are too far apart.
