The people that surround you...

This weekend was awesome. I got to see an amazing girl marry someone who makes her gloriously happy, and then I got to dance with a bunch of great friends after. I realized while I was there how much of our experience is created by the people that surround us. The girl is a friend I made while working at a movie theatre, the friends I had an awesome time dancing with worked there as well. This was not a recent job, all of us have moved on to other occupations, other friends, other everything. The thing that seems interesting about it is we are all still friends. We all loved that job, not because of the job itself but because of the people. Not one of us, as far as I know, has found another job in which you are so able to become good friends with your coworkers in such a short amount of time as we all did. I know that a lot of this is due to the nature of a movie theatre job, lots of free time, common bond over interest in movies, late nights with nothing to do after getting off of work, but I also believe a lot of it has to do with the fact that we happened upon a really awesome group of people in a very unlikely combination, that will likely only come once in a lifetime. So thank you Brittney, for finding an amazing guy, for marrying him, for being awesome and most importantly for allowing me to realize that the people that surround you can really impact the way you feel about everything you do. Including make a semi-crappy job the best experience ever.
