SOME THINGS JUST GET BETTER WITH TIME

Everyone has people in their lives that no matter how long you go without seeing eachother or emailing, it's like nothing has changed. The bonds are strong because your spirits connect. So it is with my friends Rusty and Shelley. They came for a quick visit conference weekend from Arizona. We were lucky enough to have them stay with us on Saturday and to spend the day with them. Rusty and I went to high school together and we were so close, along with a few others. He married Shelley and just went from the best to the bestest. It's like she has always belonged with "us". It is always refreshing to have those people around you who really know you, who really get you, and who really get life. Like I said, it truely is a spiritual connection. It was the first time that I got to meet Anabelle. She is so darling and when she makes her mad face she looks just like a Blair! Max really liked her too! I'm pretty sure there was some binki swapping going on. Rusty, Shelley, and I caught up on what is going on with family and life in Round Valley. Mostly we talked about life now; which is refreshing. Our friendship isn't based on high school--that's just where it started. I love them and I miss not having them close by--I long for those days of Boggle wars and watching hours of baseball on the Blairs couch--just chillin'. I am truely blessed to have had such wonderful pasttimes and such lasting friendships. I can't wait for our reunion to see the rest of "us".
