I was about to write this is the essence of the five year plan, but that would be a false statement…

But in actuality these people are the essence of the five year plan. In September I got to move to California Baptist University where I was blessed with friendships from these six people. Although these people aren’t all new friends, the way the friendships grew and formed in the last year have been amazing.
Last night I got to go to dinner with four of them (which having 71% of us at the same place at the same time is amazing) and we began to discuss our lives. We talked about culdesac baseball games, 7 room houses (and that was just upstairs), submarines at the lake, nightly bbq’s and endless other things that make dreaming so much fun. The best part though was at the end of the conversation it wasn’t the firemen pool from the second story to the first story that was brought up, or the weight room and bridges connecting all the houses, instead it was the fact that “for reals” we needed to figure out how to live on the same block.
I woke up this morning and thought “in five years, I can have coffee with Kandyce before church” and it was such a soothing feeling. How blessed and lucky am I to have friends who want to live life together in such a real way. I can’t wait for my kids to have ridiculously crazy “uncles” and a ton of best friends.
Now here is to getting through school, getting grown up jobs and living “the dream”
