for a few hours before she headed home to the los angeles area.
she had been here for a mini vacation over the last few days.
i hadn't spent time with her since our desert trip a few years ago,
and we were long overdue. she was just pregnant then and now she's a
proud momma to a sweet curl-haired little girl named rylee.
{who slept the entire time we were together} *sniff*
as the boys ran around the pool acting like hoodlums,
franka and i sipped a margarita and caught up with each other.
if the boys weren't with us, we would have sat there talking all night,
since that wasn't our reality, we did what we could and committed
to meeting up this fall.
after drinks and pizza by the pool, we headed to the sand to make SMORES.
it was a wonderful evening all around. the boys got along great, had too
much sugar and slept well that night.
i came home relaxed and rejuvenated -
so happy we've stayed close through all these year.
and it's been a long time {we met in the mid 1990s}
i came home and told c my girlfriends feed my soul,
and they really do. i learned early in my marriage,
hubbies don't {and shouldn't} take the place of girlfriends.
they each have a special place in my heart.
missing franka already...
