Old friends are the best friends

I was talking to Mikaele this morning (as I do every morning--part of our daily routine since becoming moms) and we had been talking about how we are in touch every day but haven't seen each other for weeks. It has been quite awhile, as it's hard to coordinate our schedules with therapy, play dates, swim lessons, and everything else we do. But we make the effort, and she offered to bring the boys (that includes Tim) down this Saturday for a visit. Here's hoping everyone feels well enough to make it!

I was also e-mailing back and forth with Elaine last night. That was nice too--we really use each other to complain about things, but the other always offers a new perspective or at least a sympathetic ear. I think we've always done well keeping in touch, but we've made a better effort since her wedding in August. Seeing each other is great and serves to remind us all why we've stayed friends so long--and it usually jump starts our e-mailing and calling and writing again. I hope she and B can make it east in the near future!

I just love my friends so much. I know that sounds super cheesy, but I really do. They are so important to me. I love my old friends because they are a constant source of support and are such wonderful people, I love my new friends here in Meadville because they're helping me feel more at home here, and I love all the internet friends this site has brought in (well, Mike's site brought them) because I love reading their comments and hearing their stories.

Okay, end of cheese from sappy me. Have a great weekend everyone--enjoy the autumn leaves and have a cup of cider!
