Talking to new people is the first think that needs to take place. After talking to that new person, forming a relationship will take place. It never fails that hanging out at ridiculous hours takes place in friendships as well.

Everyone goes their own way and sometimes only see their best friend once a year. But that is not the case for Kelsey and her friend. As they grew older, got married and had kids Kelsey they always lived right beside each other. Every morning as they sent the kids off to school they would meet on the porch of Kelsey’s house and have Bible study. When the kids got home from school they would make their kids do their homework and then they would go play with each other. This friendship has been passed down to their kids. As they grew old they ended up in a nursing home. They would swing on the swings telling their grandkids all about their childhood and how important friendships are.
