Friend Notification

You know how on Facebook it notifies you that so and so is now friends with so and so? In the past year I've seen my friends from high school become friends with my friends from college, who then become friends with more of my other friends, etc. etc. all of who had never met before. So now my circle of college friends, church friends and high school friends are somehow all connected and we have the same friends. And every time I see this I think, "How did their paths cross?" or "How did that happen?".

It all just reminds me how small Utah really is and how thankful I am to be out of it! I think the icing on the cake was when I met a girl through a friend of mine from high school, and this girl had a boyfriend. We all hung out and they were planning on getting married. Next thing I know I had lost contact with all of them and I show up at one of my dad's parties only to see this girls (now) ex-boyfriend partying with my family! He had starting working with my mom, who then met my step-sister, and they all became friends, and so now I'm friends with him and I haven't spoken to either of the first two girls for 3 years! Hahaha. Yes, Utah is way too small.
