Vicki is a friend from high school, whom I have barely seen since we graduated...in 1998!! (There was one evening when I got back from Botswana in 2000, but that was ever so brief because I got kicked out of the bar for not being 21...I know...there's more of a story, but I won't get into that here. :) But recently we have come back in touch with each other and, although we are in very different life stages and parts of the country, it is so nice to reconnect with people.
One of the things I am most grateful for in reconnecting with Vicki is for her wisdom and caring. I've been struggling a bit lately with the fact that all my friends (well most of them) are getting married, or are in relationships headed for marriage and I am still trying to get a guy to give me a second glance. Vicki said something wonderfully reassuring that I definintely don't remember enough: that guy is out there, he is just still being prepared for me, as I am for him. It will happen in good time and there is no need (or use) in stressing about it now.
I don't have a picture for this post, because all of the ones I have are at least 9 years old and at my parents house, but still, Vicki, you're the best!
Hi! My name is...
- Lizzie
- St. Paul, Minnesota, United States
- I am an over-committed, enthusiastic, and quirky jumble of a person, who also likes her quiet time. Yeah, figure THAT one out. :) I love going places and doing new things, which is part of the reason I have ended up in Minnesota. I moved here from Bloomington, Indiana to take my very first salaried job (at long last) in the end of 2006. I have been to Africa three times but this is the farthest west in the US that I've lived and, consequently, really explored. I love my friends and family and thank God every day that I have them in my life, for I'd certainly be lost without them. And I LOVE to laugh!
