I have to say the restaurant booth and waters all around comment hit a little too close to home for me. I'm so craving a date night with my man. They are so rare for us right now since I our live in babysitter started college, works and has a social life. We have to make due but I think I'm going to see if I can get her to give her poor 'ol mommy and daddy a break.

Hoping and praying for good financial news. And an offer on your house wouldn't be too shabby either.

I was already having an emotional morning (no sure why, except that it's friday & I hate fridays) and have been fighting back the tears for the past half hour.And now that I've read this post, the tears cannot be stopped.

Starting with remembering our epic mini-vacay to Seattle to see Phantom of the Opera....when we stayed with Amanda (I really need to look that girl up....) & then took the train to Portland & stayed with my grandparents (god, I miss them), & then we wound up seeing Carrie at the gate at the Seattle airport waiting for our flight back home to Juneau. I will always treasure that trip. One of my most favorite photos of myself was one that one of you girls took while we were in downtown Seattle by Pike's Place. I was wearing my "new" prized possession, a black vintage pea-type-coat, I was walking slightly in front of you girls for some reason, and whoever took the shot called at me turn around, and it was just one of those great, unplanned photos (as far as I remember, anyway!) where I was genuinely happy and you could see it all over my face.

And Milesy's cherup cheeks....another most favorite photo ever is one I took of him when I came to visit August 2007. He was glowing in the early morning sunlight, especially his cheeks :) Another trip I will never forget, one where I tracked down someone at the grocery store to let me into the locked pregnancy test cabinet, drank a cocktail after getting a negative result, and then the next morning, hands shaking as I grinned and wordlessly handed you a stick I successfully peed on to make a pink stripe (or was it two?) appear. You, my bosom friend, were the very first person to know I was with child.

And, I'm so, so happy that wonderful, amazing things are happening in your life. You have worked so hard to create the life you wanted, and you have a true partner in Nate to accomplish every dream you ever wanted, and those dreams you never knew existed.

now, I must go refill my coffee before my meeting that starts in 2 minutes ;)

I love you, chica.
