4. 25 years of friendship!
Their is nothing like having a friend who has known you since you were nine. Kari Sue Kamnikar Snow came to visit me on Sunday night with her 5 kids. I can't tell you how much joy it brings to see her and her family. Not only are our babies 1 month apart but the older kids get along really well also. This leaves more time for gabbing. One of the things I treasure most about having a friend who has known me for so long is she knew my mom really well. My mom passed away in May, and it was therapeutic to reminisce about stories and memories with Kari. She loved my mom and remembers her laugh and turkey dinners. We always go down memory lane and this usually involves trying on old cheerleading uniforms, which we can't even get our leg to fit into, and doing the dance from "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" movie. We have seriously seen that movie over 100 times. We have both made some fitness goals for ourselves and have planned a fun shopping trip in January. The only problem with her visiting is we never get any sleep but it is always worth it!!

Yes, I agree, talking about passed away loved ones is very therapeutic--especially when its about the mother. Thats probably why I wrote about my mom. Thanks about your comment, by the way. Mothers really are a great thing! Your sentence in another entry about dancing the "Thriller" really made me laugh!! It reminded me of MY mom---she would totally do that! :) Sons really do admire moms for being motherly yet young spirited.
