A Reunion with Friends

Being in Houston has been like one big party for me. I know I am here working, but it is like a mini reunion seeing so many friends and people I love all in one place. I can't walk 10 feel without bumping into someone I know. I get to hang out with my friends, laugh my head off, be crazy and really just enjoy myself. It's amazing how much does and doesn't change in 9 months. As soon as I see people, it is like I never stopped seeing them. Yet, things change...some are pregnant, some have gone grey, some have lost weight, some have gained it. Yet thru it all, we are still the same people...we are still friends. I feel like this is a blessing, getting to catch up with everyone.

Today I had the privilege of spending five hours shopping with my mom and one of her friends. I would like you to know that all five hours was spent in two stores (TJ Maxx and Marshalls)! And, it was probably the most fun I have had shopping ever. We were yelling across isles at each other, trying things on in the middle of the store and just having fun! And since I knew I wouldn't run into anyone I knew, it made it all okay! But it was definitely fun times had by all.

I hope there will be more times like this in the future. And I hope that when I finally return home, I will have just as good friends as when I left, maybe even better and that I will have added a few to the group!
