FRIENDSHIP

"No person is your friend who demands your silence, or denies your right to grow."

Alice Walker

Last night we witnessed another Cougar victory. I have to say that I believe I have been converted. I don't know how it happend really. I guess marrying into the Loveless family, if you can't beat 'em, you just join them. However, I draw the line when it comes to a few things like putting catsup on my burritos and eggs. Anyway, back to the BYU game...last night I was reminded of how good of friends Ryan and I are. We enjoy being together, both with other people and by ourselves. He gives me my space, I try and give him his. We don't like all of the same things, but we like enough of the same things--and the uncommon things are what keeps it interesting and what requires each of us to sacrifice. That's how it works. I don't want to skin a deer and he doesn't want to see the Nutcracker again. Okay, fine. We can respect that. It's just good to know that you will enjoy the company you've secured for eternity.
