Bethany & I have been best friends since we were twelve years old. Somehow the three years when we lived in the same state were enough to cement us together for life. Before this trip, we hadn't seen each other in over two years and we hadn't met each other's babies, so this visit was long overdue.
Look at these precious girls!
Brynlee caught a terrible cold right before she & I left for Boise so she was in the throws of being sick the entire time we were there. Thankfully, my Bethany is the best and understands better than anyone what it's like to have a little one whose needs have to be met before anything else can happen. Despite having two needy little ones, it was wonderful to just be together, to explore Boise (a surprisingly great city!), to drink wine together and laugh about how we used to be junior highers dreaming about how our lives would turn out, and now we are raising two little girls at the same time. Life is crazy. Life is wonderful.
I am so lucky to call this woman my friend after all of these years. If we can remain this close after sixteen years, through all the changes life has thrown at us thus far, I don't know what we couldn't get through.
