The CK Daily – Life Long Friendships
Good morning CK Family!
I hope you are having a great week! This past weekend I spent some time in Columbia, SC visiting with my best friend from college. She is currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program at the University of South Carolina – and she’s loving it! I’m so thankful to have such a strong relationship with her after all these years! We talk on the phone often, but there’s just something about being able to hang out in person.
As our lives have changed it’s been fun to see how our friendship grows. We’ve had to adapt quite a bit – but in the end have always come out stronger. As new adventures arise over the next few years for both of us, I look forward to seeing how our friendship will grow.
Cheers to lifelong friendships!
