christmas week

yesterday was so good for my soul!!! i met some old friends recently found on facebook, two sisters actually, and we just had the greatest time!!! it's been about 15 and 20 years since we had all seen each other so we spent the ENTIRE day talking and catching up on all of our lives. we knew each other from church, seminary, church dances, yadda yadda..... it was just wonderful. i drove out to menifee, which is where the older sister, tonya, lives with her husband of 10 years and 4 beautiful kids. she has a 14 year old that came from his previous marriage, and then 3 much littlier ones. francesco who i think is 7 or 8, giovanni who is 3, and little mia who was adorable and just 2. actually, they were all adorable. :) and then her sister autumn, who besides knowing from church, i knew from sport chalet, came out from san diego. she lives in kensington with her husband of 6 years. we worked together at sport chalet back when the parkway plaza store was open. so that was also a long time ago! '94-96!

anyway, it was a seriously great time catching up with all of them. and getting to hold babies. oh yeah, autumn has twins! 8 month old boys! and they were big! so we were busy. and i just loved it. all their love, all the kids' love, and hanging out. it can't get much better than that.

so now we've agreed to get together once a month. meeting in menifee! friends are great. it's amazing how we can come together again, after so long, and the love never changes. we change, who we are is slightly different, but not our core. i guess that's how it's able to happen. people never really do totally change. that's the key. (although some probably do....)
