A quick trip to the beach town of St. Joesph, MI...to attend my very special friend's baby shower. It was so wonderful to see her now going through this and to be able to spend time with her and my friend Nicky as well. (we missed you Al) She has a wonderful family and was recently married to a great guy last year....life has changed for her as well but in such a positive direction....
After the shower, and after hanging out by the pool, we headed into town for some drinks (water martini for Ray) and spent several hours talking with two of my greatest friends. We laughed a lot, there were tears, we talked about how crazy life is and this mess of a two years and things that are going on with their lives........we committed to one another that we would never lose touch and that these weekends spent with friends must continue...no matter what. I love them dearly and it is so nice to talk so openly with them especially while I still learn how to deal with all of this---girlfriends have huge hearts and care and listen and try to relate and agree that it sucks and it's so helpful to talk with them. While they may never fully understand, they sure do listen and continue to be my cheerleader- that my parents would be so proud- and how happy they are on where I am currently at in my life given what has happened and the heartache that continues. I am thrilled to welcome another one of my dear friends to motherhood. Definitely life's greatest gift. Motherhood and girlfriends. What would we do without them?
Although I missed Elle, she had a great day yesterday and today with "papa". They read lots of books, had a pizza night, passed out on the couch with the Dog.....ya know, all of those things that she shouldn't be doing. Glad they enjoyed themselves. And as I tried to rush back to Cincinnati to see them today, I ended up with yet another speeding ticket. This is not good seeing as I have a company car. Why don't I listen to my Dad and think of what he used to tell me? Every time I would leave home, he would say to me, "motor easy". I think that means drive slow and safe. I'm simply blaming it on the Lady gaga CD I purchased on Friday to listen to on the drive.....
