Yay!
More documentation of my "mundane" life :)
I just got off the phone with my friend - my BFF from high school. What a great moment to hear her voice after such a long time! She & I haven't spoken in who-knows-how-long, but we just picked right up where we left off.
Do you have a relationship like that? Someone who may be far away (physically or situationally) and yet near and dear to your heart forever? I am so grateful I have a few ladies in my life like that.
My Project Life album is documenting these amazing blessings that are my women friends. Clearly I NEED them in my life, and I appreciate them soooo much! Although my daily life is focused on my kids and making them my priority - it is important to me to make personal connections with my friends. That is truly what I am all about.
In Week 14 I was so super duper excited to celebrate my other bosom buddy: Marisol! What a joy it was to watch her lovely smile as she excitedly anticipated her upcoming wedding at her bridal shower.
In Week 15 I was so happy to celebrate my friend Kelli's birthday by throwing her a little dinner at our house. She is wonderful.
In Week 16 my AMAZING friend/cousin took my kids for the week of spring break so I could work (training some swimming instructors). She is a gift to me! Then we got to Easter plan and shop and talk and drink and laugh and play and hang out, too!!
In Week 17 I got to spend a little adult time with my homegirls Liz & Yvonne. We shopped and day-drank. How great is that?!
In Week 18 I spent one afternoon (National Scrapbook Day, People!) with my crafty friends Christina & Marty. We mostly ate and talked, and why shouldn't we?
As you can see, I love people. I am blessed beyond measure with enough food, shelter and clothing. But I am especially blessed by the friendships and the real connections we can make through them. You want to talk makeup and clothes? - I'm probably not your gal. You want to talk deep thoughts, longings, childhoods, and joys? - Oh, heck yes.
Loving reality,
Stacey
