The Bestest.

By -
I got back yesterday from spending a few lovely days with my best friend Rachel in Michigan.
We have one of those friendships that no matter how much time passes, no matter what is going on in our lives, as soon as we are together it is like no time has passed at all.
I hadn't seen Rachel since October of 2007! And in that time so many things have changed for both of us. But nothing changes between us.
I spent a very relaxing time hanging out with Rachel and her two adorable boys.
Rachel and I didn't go out a lot but the times just chilling on the couch talking and playing with her sons were perfect!
I never care what we do when we are together, as long as we can laugh and reminisce about all our crazy adventures!
We also got together with a long time friend of ours, Diana. It was great to see her and walk around Downtown Grand Rapids.

I especially loved the Amway and Marriott hotels. They were very chic! Hello ginormous chandeliers!


I miss Rachel already. I also miss snuggling with her 2 year old Seth, he was my little pal.


And I miss the dimply smile of baby Caleb.

I could just gobble them both up!
Now it's back to life here, I have already had a friend over for lunch and tonight Thai food with another friend.
It's good to be home. But I wish I could have Rachel close by too... I love you friend.

(we always try and dress alike. it's our thing. no, not really.)

I wondered where you went, and now I know! It's always great to reconnect with friends.

It looks like you had a wonderful time! I sometimes dress like my best friends without realizing it too!

I so need to live near you. I like being asked to my friend's houses for lunch! (you don't want to come here for food. No.)

Aren't those the best kinds of friends? Relationships that just "work" are so awesome!

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
