Sometimes, I Just Need to Talk to a Woman.

You know what I mean?  I have discovered a little nugget of truth: Men are fixers.  And some days I don't want my problem fixed, I just want a friend to tell me that I'm understood.  I can be completely ballistic and unrruly and they will sit and listen to what I'm feeling.  Men have a tendency to hear a problem and immediately seek a way to find a solution.  But many problems can't be fixed and having a little comfort along the way is the closest we get to finding a fix.  This isn't just with my husband, it's with my dad, my guys friends, brother, all people male.

I'm convinced this is one of the main reasons us girls have each other.  We provide that system of support.  And even just to have one kindred friend, is a bountiful blessing for me.  I have a friend like that and last time I was in town I snapped some shots of her and Matthew took some pictures of us as well.  We laughed and giggled at how embarrassed we were to be in front of the camera but it was fun.  And I inevitably had 1,294 chigger bites the next day.  But it was totally worth it :)
