my sis jen called last week to share some news.
we text message alot more than we talk,
so i knew she had something pretty important to tell me when i saw she was calling.
shortly into our conversation, i thought oh no, she's been laid off
(there had been rumblings and rumors of layoffs)
but the story had a twist and a happy ending.
her boss actually walked her outside to tell her privately that he was giving her a raise.
she was being rewarded and well, it was good news - the best news i had heard all day!
i was glad she shared with me. i enjoyed celebrating with her.

tonight we snuck away for a few hours after work for happy hour and were able to share even more.
we had been trying to get together for two months and finally we just made it happen.
we went to starlite, a hipster hangout on the outskirts of downtown. we settled into a cozy booth,
ordered drinks, appetizers and yes, even dessert (we have to indulge sometimes).
we spent a few hours just talking and catching up on each other's lives - it was so needed and so nice.
j - thanks for your friendship and sharing the calories *wink*.
i'm looking forward to our next girl's night out.
