So I heard some news today. And although it's really awesome news, it made me unbelievably sad.
Don't worry, I will explain...My friend Emilia and I have been friends for a long time...12 years to be exact. Ever since her first day of school after moving to the lake our freshman year. We've been really good friends ever since, with only one medium fight in the meantime. We talked daily until she got married and had to move to Washington with her new husband because he's in the Navy. Ever since then (about 5 years ago) we haven't talked as much, but when we do it's like old times, like we never missed a day....
...or so I thought.
How do you name someone your best friend...for 12 years...and then decide that the way they should find out that you're having a baby is by recieving an invitation to a baby shower on the day the rsvps are supposed to be in? Like it was an afterthought to even invite me in the first place.
So...I give it a try...maybe she thought she told me. Right? I called her, and said that I was sorry I couldn't make it to the party as I didn't have much notice and already had tickets to a concert that same day. And asked her if our other friend Amy (who was as good of friends with her as I was and was also told of the pregnancy the same way as i was) and I could maybe meet up with her the day before for our own little shower. Of course, this was all on her voicemail. She then replied...via myspace... to say that she wouldn't be in town, but if Jeff and I were ever in Washington to stop by and say hi.
Whaddaya kids think? Did I just lose a friend? Or am I reading too far into this?

My best girl friend lives like, a bajillion miles away. I didn't know she was preggers until she posted pics on myspace of her HUGE pregnant belly. It made me hella sad and at the same time, super happy for her. I felt really left out and sad that she had all these other friends there to help her and do her shower and all that. It's tough when we grow up and grow apart, but I don't think that the friendship is really all the way lost.
