Love the one you’re with…

Relationships drive my life, but I wouldn’t say I’m all that good with them. I have had exactly two boyfriends, if I ignore those three weeks in high school, and one of those boyfriends became my husband (lucky guy). Having relocated from Hawaii to California for college, and then staying in the Southern California area, I don’t have a lot of friends who I grew up with, outside of family. The exception to that rule is Jessica, one of the best friends a girl could have. But we don’t talk regularly. In fact, I am a bit of a phone-a-phobe. I don’t like talking on the phone, which makes cross-continental friendships difficult. But I’ve still got to try… luckily, my best friend Barbara, is exactly the opposite of me. She loves to be social, can talk up a storm, but is sensitive, smart, and never boring. One of these days, I will figure this whole thing out.
