a day with my bestie.....melissa hill sands

i awoke early this morning- very excited about my day. i have learned through these last several years that when the children are at their dad's to keep myself busy- as much as possible- and to REST often....i have no choice about that these days. for one really good day- i might need a good several more to rest and regroup.

but today- i did something 4 myself! my bestie melissa and i went to the movies to see my sister's keeper- and we had our snacks-much buttered popcorn, candy, and coke- and we cried, sniffed, cried, and cried some more! what an awesome movie- you could hear us sobbing and sniffing from a good distance.

i've had such a wonderful day with my best friend who i'd lost contact with 4 over 20 years....and somehow- it seems like we've never been apart. it's been amazing- sharing old memories and now creating new ones- and sometimes with our own children- but today it was just us girls!!
