Sweet Friends

My two girlfriends Lisa and Kim are truly gems in my treasure chest. I love getting together with them and sharing what are going on with our lives over a coffee at Starbucks.

Every woman needs one or two friends to do this with.

I have enjoyed immensely their friendships for the past 5 years. We each have grown as mothers as our children grow. Each one of us has been pregnant at least once during the five years we have been friends.

We have grown as wives, learning more about our husbands and how to live with them.

It has been very neat to watch and to be apart of.

Lisa is the quiet one. But she has a inner strength and peace within her that wows me every time I am with her. And the patience and energy to be a mommy for 3 boys always encourages me. And I can't forget, she's a great hairdresser too.

Kim is the cornerstone of our trio. She has a way to communicate everything from spiritual deep things to everyday challenges with great ease and make someone like me understand. She is the wise one, the teacher. And she amazes me with her preservence that she has shown with all the challenges she has had to face in recent years.

With woman like this as friends how could I not cherish and love them as sisters.

I'm a lucky gal.

Spring flu

I normally get a cold when the warm summer weather shifts to cool autumn days then I get a cold usually in January from the cold and wind and then again the beginning of spring but this time I didn't get a cold I got the flu. Luckily it was a short one! The girls and i were bed/couch ridden for 4 days. meaning the boys had free reign over the house.

So you can imagine what a 3 yr old and a 18 month old can do, they did!

I still have a nasty cough but I am recovering and that is all that matters.

I hope to improve in the next few days because a MOAB trip is planned for this Wednesday.
