hello readers and friends of fairy tales are true. i’m kendall from c.w.f.h.l and i’m honored to be guest posting here today!! I was a little nervous when sarah asked me – she has so many readers and this is my very first guest post.
sarah and I went to college together. with our other best friend Ashley. We all met first semester – ashley and I lived on the same hall and sarah and I had american history together.
Everything was perfect.

Then we all graduated. And lived in different states and countries.
It was hard being without these two - but over these last 5 years we have learned lots of ways to stay connected. Can I share a few with you??
- start a book club. this may sound silly since you won’t actually be able to meet up but using a site like goodreads.com helps. It’s a nice feeling knowing they are reading the same book as me.
- send snail mail. There is nothing better than getting a card or postcard from a long distance friend. Sarah and Ashley are the best at this!!!
- start a blog. It’s perfect when a few days or week has gone by with out a phone call or email. I am able to get a little sneak peak into their lives.
- plan trips. It’s hard. It requires a lot of planning. But make it happen. At least once a year. There is nothing better. I promise.
i am very blessed to have these two in my life.
many many thanks sadie for letting me guest post.
i can’t wait to see all the photos from your trip. xo kendall
i had no idea you two went to college together, let alone knew each other! SO AWESOME. i think planning friends-only trip is a necessary extravagance! definitely a great idea which takes lots of work...but so worth it.

ReplyDeletegreat advice! it really is hard staying in touch with the crazyness of everyday life. i think i may send my friend a card..snail mail style. great work on your first guest post :)
ReplyDeletethis makes me feel so much better - me and my best friends from college all moved far away from each other. I moved to France for a year - so hopefully this August we'll be doing a big get-together!
ReplyDeleteAw! What a sweet friendship post! You guys look like you put in a lot of effort to maintain a beautiful friendship and reap plenty of rewards doing so! Love the book club idea!

ReplyDeleteMy three best friends from high school and I still stay connected even after all these years (and each of us living in a different state).. and one of the ways we do that is by a blog that the 4 of us share. It's such a great way to communicate to everyone!
ReplyDeleteLove the book club idea though.. must. check. it. out.
I do the book club with my best friend who lives in Switzerland! Random, right? And you're so right trips are important! It's awesome you're still all close though :) Real friends go the distance!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! Great post!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for letting me guest post! You have the best/sweetest readers!!

ReplyDeleteAwww, this is so cute but at the same time sad! I am still in college but only have one year left and I am so sad that I won't be able to see some of my best friends on a daily basis, thanks for the guest post tips though Kendall! i am looking for ways now to stay in touch with them when we are finished school, heading over to your blog now!
