The Lost Boys to my Wendy

One of the things I really like about my life in Portales is my social life. It was completely unexpected. After attending the ward, I saw my options for single female friends were either 18 or 29 and bitter. I became fast friends with RayMike, a 19 year old convert of about a year. He is quite like my little brother.

A couple of months into last semester I was at Institute and was talking to Mike and Matt and they invited me out to eat afterwards. That was the beginning. We started hanging out every weekend, which led to hanging out every couple of nights, which led to hanging out every night. The first or second Sunday we all hung out Matt had to do home teaching before we hung out, and along came Justin.

And thus it began. Emily and her lost boys. Each so different. There have been some love triangles :/ and some fights, and a fair amount of drama, and a boyfriend mixed in there. There have been occasional interlopers, people who add into our group periodically in and out. And we like it. But when it comes down to it, when it's me and the three boys I'm happy. They make my crazy school life bearable. A night without them makes me lonely.

I'm so glad I have my group of lost boys to take care of and to let them take care of me.
