Things are slowly changing. I still don't spend a lot of time with anyone in particular but gradually I am getting back with old friends. I had a fun day Saturday. Up to this point I haven't done much with Jacob. Jacob and I made plans to see a movie at 2:30 so we invited a bunch of friends. I stopped at sportsman warehouse to waste time. Jacob pulled in and saw my car and surprised me. It was so nice to have random fun with an old friend. I remembered how much fun it was to do "nothing" with this kid. We got to the movie and met up with the others. Afterwards we went to dinner then a friends to play games. I really like having him back. I am keeping my expectations low, but he is working with me to build our friendship back. Another big event occurred with another old friend. A few weeks ago I sent a letter to Caleb. I kept the letter positive. I mentioned that I didn't even know if he read my letters, or if I was wasting my time writing to him, and that I would continue writing him until he asked me not to. A couple weeks past then I got an email from him. It had been over 6 months. It was a group email, but it was a start. I was confused at first because I had determined he would never write to me again. I got a second group letter today. Sunday I went to a fireside and talked to Bri. Tonight at fhe we spent a lot of time together. People were talking about Facebook and I asked Bri if I could refriend her and she said yes. All three of these are huge success stories about determination, perseverance and forgiveness. I am grateful for the people I have in my life. Even though they at times cause heart ache, you can get over it.
