Dinner Among Friends

I just arrived home from a wonderful dinner with Bryce, Adam, and Laurie. We laughed so much when talking of old times. And we did a surprisingly good job at filling each other in on our new lives. We all lead very separate lives now, even though Laurie and Adam and I are still in the STL metro area.
It was just nice to be among such close friends, and to still share a close bond, even though we may not all talk everyday.
I was afraid since Amar and I are no longer together, that there would be awkwardness among us. But there was none of that. We all understand the situation, and there was no need to talk about it. But he was present in spirit. When I look back on college he will always be there, forever. That is one promise I can make. And I will always remember our times with a smile.
I was given the advice this weekend to look forward to something everyday, as a way to stay happy. And dinner the with the Beaumont crew was definitely the event I was looking for.
In case you were wondering we dined at Mangia Italiano. I highly recommend it.
