ok, so in just a little over 24 hours one of my longest, closest, bestest friends, and her husband are coming to visit for the long weekend (once again thank you federal gov't for another day off!!) they are coming from seattle which is quite the haul. we are just jumping around with excitement and feather dusters in preparation of them coming :) amy and i met when we were 11. almost, 20 years ago!!! it wasn't til 7th grade that we really clicked, and then amy was on every page of life for me, from junior high to high school.. amy, then went to college, and after college married jeff. mark and i got married, then went to college :) and even though the last 10 years we have not been apart of each other's every days, we are still very much apart of each other's lives. our kids are almost the exact ages, and our third children are only weeks apart. when no one else understood my life... amy did. i can call amy any time i want to cry, to scream, or laugh.. amy is a very safe place for me to go. there is never judgment, but always truth spoken with grace and love. amy is one of the most passionate people i know, she does nothing 90%. she feels things very deeply and very strongly. i appreciate that SO much about her. and fortunately our husbands are eerily similar and they have developed a sweet friendship outside of me and amy.
there is nothing like being able to be with someone where no part of your life needs to be introduced to them. amy knows where i have come from, WHO i have come from, who i have married, who i have birthed, and who i befriended along the way. that is such a sweet, sweet, gift!
rest assured, there are ALWAYS adventures when amy is around. rest assured, there is always TONS of laughter when amy is around. rest assured i won't be blogging anytime while she is around :)
so after these messages, i'll be right back :)
