Hey don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten to write the sequel to this earlier post. I’m just taking a little longer to think about how to write it and what to include etc. And I’ve been busy hanging out with my friend from out-of-town in the last few days.

I know I have a small audience, but I hope there are at least 2 people anticipating it! Thank you for your patience.

Yesterday was such a beautiful day, in more than one way. This is why:

My good friend was visiting from out of town. I’ve known her since 7th grade. We’ve never had a fight, and she’s always been there for me. She helped me do my hair and makeup a couple of times during high school when I went to school dances (sneaked out of the house for those - my parents were super strict and conservative/traditional). She listened to me yap about my boy crushes and boyfriends without any judgement. She was there for me when I was going through treatments, and she was there to celebrate with us when our first child was born. We live quite far away from each other, but we’re always just a phone call away. My life is so much richer because of her friendship.

We shopped at IKEA. We had fabulous BBQ ribs for dinner.

The weather couldn’t have been nicer. It was sunny and warm, at a whopping 70+F (now it is back to high 30’sF). It was amazing and extremely unusual for November.

And the kids took great long naps. Long naps are always good, especially good when they woke up for the day at 5:30a.m.
