There is something about Milligan Friends...

There is something about the people you meet at Milligan College that is unlike people you meet in any other place. "The Piesly's"...as I like to call them now thanks to Alina...called me on Sunday. I haven't talked to them in probably 6 months and yet we talked like we were sitting around the lunch table. Kelli also called me Sunday...I probably talked to her every couple of months but I still feel like I can vent my frustrations of the opposite sex to her (or any of the other Milligan girls) like it was a late night in Hart 204. Its playing Mario Kart with Stephen Jones like we were in Web 311. Or staying up late with CP talking about Harry Jam. The list goes on. They are the type of friends that you can pick up the phone and pick up from where you left off. No matter how long it has been since you've talked, no matter how much distance is between you...its a genuine friendship like none other I have ever experienced. Some of those friendships are based on only a semester or two of time at MC yet that doesn't seem to matter. If there is one thing that I got out of Milligan (and there are actually many many things I took away from that magical...okay maybe magical is not the correct phrase) is friendships with people that I really do believe could last a beyond a life time. Sorry for the cheesy post, I know I'm one chorus away from busting out the Michael W. Smith classic "Friends" but I never want to forget to thank God for the great people that have invested their lives in me and who provide me with more joy then they will ever know.
