We're quite delighted with each other.<br /><br />I used to live about a 3-hour drive from my other best friend, and we would get together once a month.

We had a lot of the same values and beliefs, discovered we live in the same state, and... it's been... 15 years now? I see her about once a month, if at all possible. We're lucky to only live about a hundred miles apart.

Aren't blogging friends the best kind of friends? :-) Your frienship sound very beautiful, and I hope you get to meet up many more times yet. :-D<br /><br />Funny, I feel the same way too, with my bestie, Emma. If we don't exchange a few words either through e-mails, Pinterest, blogs, Goodreads or whatever, the day just seems rather empty.
