So last night, I thought I was going to have dinner with three friends.
Honestly, I was anticipating an emotionally draining evening and I wasn't 100% excited about that aspect of the evening.
I walked in and noticed there was a TON of food on the table (way too much for 4 people). Then I heard this snicker from around the corner. I looked and five or six of my friends jumped out and yelled,
"SURPRISE!!!!!"
They had organized a surprise graduation party for me and two other friends who finished our master's degrees this fall.
It was exactly the show of love I needed at the exact moment I needed it.
I was struck one more time how blessed I am to live in this community of people. I can celebrate with them. I can mourn with them. I love them.
I have learned a lot about relationships in the last 5 years. But I just want to take this moment to appreciate and cherish the relationships that I have. I have more than I deserve and I am truly wonderstruck.
