Stay in touch with my college roommate

I’m not doing so good with this. I need to turn it around before I feel the need to give up!
Why when you get older is it so much harder to stay in touch with the people who used to be so important to you? It is a little depressing….

I ran into my old roomie yesterday, and I made plans to call him Thursday. Since I’m going to my dad’s in the morning, I might drop the ball on this one, but I’ll try. Still, it was nice seeing him again. It’s hard work staying in touch with friends while balancing a family and job, plus all that goofing off I need to fit in!

I did call him, and invite him to my sister’s party (which my brother and I played some songs for). He said he would go, but he didn’t make it. I am a little bummed, because it would have been a perfect night if I could have hung out with him and his great family. I think in order to stay in touch with him, I’m going to have to make more of an effort and go to his place. Since I don’t go out much, that might be hard to do. But it’ll be worth it!

I called my friend last night, and we made some plans to hang out in a couple weeks! I feel so social!!

I am so bad at staying in touch with my old friends. But I was very close to my old roommate, we lived together for half my college life! He was a groom at my wedding, and I consider losing touch with him as one of my biggest regrets! Especially considering he lives only 20 minutes away, and his number is local!
My supreme goal here is to contact him, at least by phone, at least once per month. I called and visited him last month, but I’ve done nothing yet this month! Time is running out…..
