I had a great nap today. So did Max, Jordan and Sammy. (Actually I would classify Sammy’s nap as fabulous seeing as he didn’t wake up till 7:30 p.m.)!
My favorite thing Saturday night thing to do (aside from actually going out…) is laying in my bed with the boys all looking for a spot to snuggle and watch a movie. We are watching “Hotel for Dogs.” I have actually hear this movie 50 times (while they watched it in the van)… but I have never actually seen it.
I am missing my friends today. You know, just being able to hang out and catch up. Just being able to talk about ourselves, life, love and where we are on our journey. I miss my friends.
Girlfriends. They are such a important part of my life. I think what made my university days so wonderful was the amazing friends that came into my life. How I miss them. We had fun just being together, chatting, sharing and building deep roots to those friendships that stand time.
It is different now. Of course it is. We are moms and wives with careers and demands of life. We have changed from hurts and disappointments that have been part of our journey. But I love knowing… that deep down in a place that is so often lost to even me, there is that “us” that is there.
I can pick up the phone and it may take a few minutes of niceties but it is there. It surfaces.
My friend and I … we find each other. Then we talk. We share. We may laugh. We may even cry. We find each other.
This picture is of me, my freshman year in university. One of my girlfriends… she was a senior but just loved me as if we were sisters. We had so many late night of cooking rice and ramen.
Each year God blessed me with girlfriends that filled my soul. It was one of the best things about growing up… and leaving home. Most of my friends are still in my life. I miss them so much. Yet there is that special place we can always go back to. I need to really just go.
You know what I am talking about? Some of you having friends that you went to grade school with. That is so special.
One of the great things about my boys school is the friendships it has allowed me to make.
Girlfriends. It is as essential as my carbs. lol
I miss my girlfriends.
