When we are younger we go to school. The girl/boy sitting next to you seems nice. You strike up a conversation. You play at recess then you go to lunch... Find out you live down the street... Then you are friends. It's so easy when you are a kid. High school, you join clubs, have the same classes. Again fairly easy. But dear god!!! Adulthood is the pits for making friends!! Until you have kids of your own. Lol.
My daughter was in love... Nay obsessed with these button eyed dolls. I found them creepy. Very Coraline and odd. However, my daughter loved them. So we indulged. She got her first one for Christmas. The next one Valentines. Of course her brother wanted one too! Lol. So again we indulged.
I joined a Facebook page and started talking to other ladies in regards to various dolls and what not. I met some amazing ladies on line of which I still talk to. Even better tho, I have made some amazing friends out here in Vegas all because of dolls.... That our daughters loved.
The first one was because of the first boy doll. We were invited us over for her daughters birthday party. Well needless to say we clicked. Many tea parties, dinners and get togethers later. The dolls are fading but the friendship remains strong and we have moved on to other fun obsessions.
Then came the next friend same reason... Different story. We met in a parking lot in Barnes and Noble. Her daughter and ours are the best of friends.
Then there was one who actually moved from the other side of the country. We actually happened to bond over the Olympics. Many months and parties later
Her daughter and ours again another BFF story :)
These ladies are my "grown up" friends. We met because of our daughters, but we remained friends because we found something in each other that we needed. Friends, family; all for one, one for all. I'm so very lucky to have found them. ❤
They made what felt very impossible (making friends as an adult) so very easy. And during this stressful time in my life I'm so very lucky to have them ❤
