Catching up

In the last week I've had two really awesome phone conversations, each with a friend I have not seen in over 10 years. It's been wonderful to catch up with them both. "J" has a 2 month old little girl, and "L" has a little boy who just started 1st grade. Both have wonderful husbands as well.

So even though my trip to Springfield resulted in me being un-invited to my brother's wedding, it wasn't all bad, it brought back in my life at least four girlfriends that were really important to me at one time. Life got in the way, and now we're reclaiming what was taken from us.

BTW, my heart goes out to my friend Jerusha, who's little boy, Kody Ray, born on August 8th, is still in the NICU. He was born 5 weeks early, and his lungs aren't developed enough yet to go home.

Welcome to the world, Kody, hopefully this is the worst you'll ever have in life.
