Aghh... Today I wish that a little fairy with a bucket would come and clean up my whole house. Instead, it is in shambles and really its only my fault... sheer laziness! Today is fresh bedding day though, so when the cat wakes up I shall start that!
So yesterday I went to my friends home for a great visit and eat a delicious, simple dinner. Amanda has a little guy named Caleb Elliot (he was born November 22), and he has the most kissable little baby cheeks I have ever seen. Then shortly after that Lisa showed up with her little guy Quinton (he was born in mid September), and he has the cutest smile and his eyes just light right up. Way too precious. Now these two ladies I have known for a very long time, Lisa and I have been friends since way back in the first grade and Amanda thankfully showed up in my life in grade 9. Needless to say I was a bit nostalgic last night. Here we are as adults, some with children and some of us expecting. Now there isn't just these two lovely ladies that I have kept in touch with over the years. Now I have to mention Ginny's little guy Lucas who is going to turn 1 in June! Alissa is about to have her first baby (sex unknown) in a matter of weeks. These women have been part of some of the best memories of my life (well my childhood for sure), when I think about getting older and starting a family and all of us starting families it just really seems surreal, are we even old enough to have babies?!?! Here we are though in our late 20's and though some of us live apart from others we all have this amazing bond, and here we get to experience this part of life together too. Its times like this that I am thankful for social media and the capabilities it has to "keep people in touch." That being said, its never hard to keep in touch with these ladies, I can go months without a text, phone call, email, or visit and we can just pick up where we left off. To me that is just a form of unconditional love. When I closed my eyes last night I just thanked God for each of them and sent a little bit of extra love to their babies. I hope one day we can all get a picture with our children together, I would just love to have that memory to carry around for life.
I must insert here: there are a few of ladies (and you know who you are) that I have been friends with for just as long and we all grew up together... I never forgot you, I was just thinkin about babies, babies, babies! Much love to you too though!
So cheers to you ladies and your children and the memories we carry around in our minds and in our hearts.
