Girly girl time...



I'm kind of overwhelmed! It's been a glorious few days despite Brian's absence as he's in Utah. I really miss him a LOT. But my dear friend since age 11, Amy, is out here and we've had such an incredible time of reconnecting and just enjoying each other's company. No one in the world knows me the way she does. I mean, we've been friends since FIFTH grade...forty years! I always tell people they're blessed if they have one true heart friend, and between Amy and Susan, I have two. My life is so much richer for knowing these incredible women.
My friend, Amy, has 3 sons whom she affectionately calls "the manhood." They're all grown up now...amazing guys. But she's never had a lot of girl time like we have in our home. So this week we've been staying up late to chat and laugh, watch "chick flicks," and just enjoy being together. Over the weekend we headed to Denver to see the girls and Ian. Amy (Robinson, not Anderson!) got to see both of the girls campuses, eat in the dining hall, make a Target run, push the wheelchair for our girl (her namesake), and laugh a lot. On Saturday we met Laura & Ian at a really cool little pizza place for an early birthday celebration (mine), and then we headed back to Ian's house for coconut cake (my favorite.) Yesterday morning we all met at City Park in Denver to walk in an event for Down's Syndrome in honor of a special little guy named Myles. The day was gorgeous and the company was perfect. What a beautiful, wonderful day!
