coffee, by myself. But lately I have been longing for my friends. My long
term forever known me friends.
I would love to be curled up on the little
chairs in the corner sharing some besten and marmalade with Ande, while we
sip our cappuchinos. Have the conversation that we both have been dying to have but cannot seem to work into life with 5 kids between us- a nine hour time difference- and busy lives of stay at home mommas!
Or sit for hours with Holls just catching up on life
outside on the benches... All the ten years we have each lived this military
life- knowing what each other is dealing with but never discussing it cause
life just gets in the way.
I can picture Am and me sitting here... Giggling
over what our kids did recently. Both not only relishing the friend time...
But the grown up time too.
What I wouldn't do to be sitting here with my
momma- telling her about the different pastries we are trying and listening
to her slaughter their names!!
Or just sitting here with my sis. Listening to
the stories of her life... Her adventures- the crazy case she just did in the
OR... Just looking at her and taking in all the details of her face that looks
so different from the little girl/little sister I adored growing up.
My cousin
Rita would be fantastic to sit here with too. This amazing woman who I
think of as that little girl I would put on my lap and swing with in our
backyard... Has become this amazing momma (soon to two) and wife. Maybe
she could spend the time here telling me all about how to cook like her or
sew like her... All the domesticated skills that bypassed me.
My mother in law
and I have sat here a few times. We have come here with my kiddos and
my friends. I am blessed with a mother in law who is a good friend. I
can chat with her about life and especially military life. She gets it. She let's
me go on and on, sometimes thinking how ridiculous I am being I am sure,
then is my voice of reason. She reminds me of the things that really
matter.
I have a lot of special people in my life... such a blessing. But these are the people I miss more than anything cause they are not a physical part of my life on a day to day basis.. But only two weeks and I will be hugging quite a few of these people! YAY!!

I feel like we have lost touch over these past 2 years especially and really miss you. I would love to be able to sit and talk and catch up, an just keep in touch better. Miss you and can't wait to see you and your family.
