I have one more day left in sunny San Jose. It has been a great trip. We will fly out Tuesday evening. Bittersweet goodbyes to my family. I will see my brother, sister-in-law and babies one more time tonight. I spent lots of time with Nick (Abby's age) and that was very important to me. Abby and him get along so well. I was able to see some childhood friends, most of who will read this. That was HUGE. Kind of surreal as we were together with our kids. I got to visit with my most special Aunt Lynn and my cousin Kristi. I haven't seen them in 2+ yrs. My aunt is 67! No way...I just cant even begin to believe it. My cousin just opened up her own Childcare/Pre-school. This is something I know she has wanted to do since college days. I was so excited to congratulate her in person. She was actually one of the people who I watched and really wanted to be like. Especially her gift of teaching and caring for children. It was great seeing my family. I will get to see them 3 times this year. The wedding shower in August and the wedding in September. Its going to be a good year!
Two of the best things that have happened here: I was able to do a lot for my mom this time. I rearranged furniture, cooked, helped with laundry and we just sat and talked a lot too. And the other thing was watching my Abby play with my friends kids. Last night we visited Teresa who I have know since 6th grade and who i hold dear to me. She is one of the most special people in the whole world. Her oldest is about 5 weeks older than Abby. They get along so well! Like two peas in a pod. Teresa asked me when I left,"i wonder how it will be when they get older?" I told her they have no choice but to be friends. And just thinking about how all my friends kids with all be friends was sooo coool! I can only imagine what their conversations will be about. What a blessing!
