I never would have dreamed that during grad school I would meet such wonderful people and decide I should make room for them in my life. I distinctly remember thinking that my world was full enough, save a MSW degree. My goal was not to make friends. I had one goal: get done with grad school as soon as possible so I could resume my normally scheduled life.
Thank goodness that God interrupted my normally scheduled life. The very first day of class we were instructed to break up into pairs for a project that would last the whole summer. Honestly, Becca and I had no intention of choosing the other. She thought she was going to be partners with another girl in the class that she had previously worked with and well, I certainly wasn't planning on becoming partners with girl who had talked the most thus far into class. But there we were, everyone else had partnered up and we were left with each other.
If someone would have told me that morning I was going to meet one of my best friends I would have laughed in their face. But here I am, almost a year later and I am attending her son's birthday party. I drove over an hour to attend the party. Just because that is how much I love their family.
Becca is a role model for me. She is only a few years older than me, but I hope I can learn from the example she sets of how to be a great wife, mom, and professional.
