Day 281- Dec. 30- Andrea Gorsky

Writing this post makes my heart so happy!! Andrea Gorsky is a friend of mine from Ottawa. We met when she was in her last year of high school and I was just arriving in Ottawa as a university student. I was looking around to continue my volunteer youth work and so one had given me a contact at the church she had attended her life.

I don't remember the exact moment we first met, but it might have been when I was a chaperone on a road trip to Peterborough with other youth leaders. Since that time our friendship has continued to stay strong as a result of three things, music festivals, road trips and cupcakes (or fun dining, as opposed to fine dining since it isn't always fancy). I'm sure if she was writing this list she might include shoe shopping, but since that was always her passion more than mine, I will generalize that to "road trips" instead of saying "road trips with detours to all DSW within a 25 km radius of the road we choose to drive on"...

We have had some pretty fun adventures. Sometimes in the rain, sometimes in the sweltering heat but every time we survive the experience with a tonne of selfies and pictures as well as a lot of new memories and usually sore stomach muscles from laughing and sore feet from walking around.

Andrea is one of those friends that I know will be in my life for the rest of my years. We don't talk often, but when we do it is like we are still in our mid 20's and not a day has passed. Can't wait for our next adventure together. I think we are due for a big one soon!


I think this is the first blog when I have way more picture than words to express our relationship. But really in our friendship, pictures probably do say a 1000 words. Enjoy!
