I have always felt that friends are a very essential component in my life. Friends are my support group, my allies, my safety net, and my family. They are dependable and love you unconditionally. They laugh with you, cry with you, and they even help you move for the millionth time. They are the ones who throw you a huge shin dig to celebrate you finally surviving college and they are the ones that help you to your knees when your world has been ripped out from under you. They don't just exist as a profile pic on your computer. They are real. They are real. They see the dirty laundry you haven't gotten to, your super awkward dance moves, and can order your meal at a moments notice.
What I want to know is can this type of friendship exist in the adult world? I am a 28 year old working wife/mother who finds herself extremely lonely. My husband is gone a lot with his debate team and when he is here he is working on making his debate program better. It is his passion which automatically puts me in the back seat. My family is extremely dysfunctional which requires me to look elsewhere when I'm in need of something. I've never really felt as though I've fit in with my in-laws. I have always been "Adam's wife". I think that's what happens when you have a ginormous family. Most have my friends have moved onto their adult lives and are busy making babies and starting careers. I miss having them be a part of my life though I understand that is what happens. I'm just hoping there are other lonely people out there who are looking for people to get through this crazy beautiful life with.
Sorry for the downer post. Adam is on his annual vacation with his debate team and I'm home playing single mom for the next 7 days. It's been about 48 hours since I have really talked to another adult.

Cassie! I love you! It does get so hard when becoming a mom and having a family. It gets crazy busy and at the end of the day you look back and realized you forgot to do then things that you were suppose to or people you wanted to chat with. You and Noah (and even Adam, I guess:) are worth remembering! Please come play with us! I would love having you! You are not "Adam's wife" in my world! Well, you are, but you get it, right? Will you please message me on Facebook with your schedule? Let plan to play, not just once, but often. I will message you. We have a fun activity that we do every week that would only be TONS more fun with you a Noah! Please don't feel alone! I know completely how that feels and it's awful. I'm here for you. Really. You are ALWAYS welcome to just stop by. ALWAYS.
Cassie, now that we are back in the state, we should get together. You are more than welcome to come down and hang out. You guys can even stay a few days with us if you would like. Seriously!!!
