Noah and I used to talk about how hard it is to meet friends once you get to a certain age. You can't just pick someone up in a bar and ask them to be your friend. And when I relocated here, unemployed, I worried how I was going to find some new companionship. Duh duh duh DUH! Enter Sara Manzo!
Because of our shared love of our pooches, it was easy to instantly spark a friendship with Sara. Of course, it helped that we lived in the same building, and our husbands work together! But I'm pretty sure we would have been friends anyway! We started walking the doggies together and quickly felt comfortable sharing intimate details of our lives. Our walks became a daily routine, but I sometimes think for selfish reasons! Yes, poochies need walks, but us girls need our girl time!
Having a friend like Sara has made my transition to Portland that much easier. It's nice knowing that I have someone I can rely on who lives so close and is willing to help in any way she can. As we go through similar stages of life together, it's comforting to bounce ideas off her, vent about stupid fights, or laugh at the silliness of getting older. Thanks Sara!
