Wordless{ish} Wednesday: Preggo Pals

{My sweet, kind and loving mother arranged for my oldest and dearest friend, Aubree', to fly down to El Paso for a few days so that we could spend some quality time together before our respective spawn are due later this summer.  We're only a few weeks apart (she's winning) so we spent a good deal of time comparing our various symptoms and the realities of dealing with babies.  It also helped to have a walking, talking example of things to come in the house, too.}

{We've been friends since junior high and it's kind of amazing to have known someone for that long and to have remained such good friends regardless of the many changes our lives have undergone over the years--we're actually closing in on having known each other for two decades.  DECADES, people.}

{It sucks that we live so far apart, but our friendship is the kind that doesn't require close distance or even frequent contact to thrive.  We could probably go for a year without talking and get together and it would feel as though things never skipped a beat--although I would never want to abstain from Aubree' for that long.  Hopefully we'll be able get together over Thanksgiving if the stars can align for us to both be in Pennsylvania with our families at the same time.  Fingers crossed!}
