I'm not sure there are many things in this life more pleasing than a long time friendship. To be with someone who has known you through various stages in life, fashion faux pas (camp pictures), culinary home runs, parental failures, etc is comforting. To think about the fact that we have planned and dreamed about the future and now we are living it - that is fun. Now if we could just get a grip on present life, we might dream about the next future stages.
Amy posted a good synopsis of our visit on her blog - you can read it there. Funny thing is, we captured about the same moments - eating, talking, and beaching. Like my mom always says when she is hanging out with one of her best buddies, "It's great having a wife!" No kidding! To have someone to remember to move the clothes from the washer to the dryer and to unload the dishwasher before supper is over! (This is not a hit on Mike. He is a great partner in all these things. Like I told our friend at the coffee shop - who like most people, oddly enough, seems surprised that we would want to keep having children - we wouldn't keep having children if Mike wasn't a totally involved dad/husband.)
View from Mt. Soledad - where we were picnic-ing
This is where I found them every morning. Quite as meeces - reading and working puzzles.
I felt so energized after this visit. I have had dear friends visit at crucial times since we have moved here...all at their sacrifice - time from families and work, travel expenses, etc. I am so thankful.
