Today the girls and I went for a playdate at a my friend Lorie's house. She's not just any friend though. She was my first friend in first grade. She was one of my best friends all through elementary school. We lost touch when my family moved away after 5th grade, and although I saw her a few times in the years that followed, I realized that I didn't know her anymore. And I guess I thought I'd never know her again. But shortly after we moved back to Texas, I ran into her at McDonalds with our kids, and then saw her several times in the next few months. Our friendship has started up again almost right where it left off. Hanging out with her feels like being with an old friend, as it should I guess. I'm just amazed at how comfortable it is after all these years. But I'm so thankful. I never would have guessed that after losing touch with her, and after living in Nashville for 13 years, that I would move back to Texas and run into her at McD's and pick up our friendship again. I guess I just want to express how thankful I am that life has brought me back here. Lorie is just one of the reasons for my thankfulness.
