I pretty much spent the day with friends today and it was awesome. Jacob was there too, and it was still nice. Its nice to spend time with friends, its something I havent done nearly enough these days!

We went to the Zoo with my friend melissa. The Zoo is probably one of my all time favorite places EVER!  I could spend ALL day there, no lie. I dont think I could ever get sick of that place. 

Melissa is probably one of my oldest friends. We met in 7th grade and were friends throughout most of high school. We lost touch and hadnt seen eachother in nearly ten years until recently at her baby shower (we kept in touh via facebook), but it was pretty much like it always had been in the past. We're very different people with very different views and opinions on many things but it still works.  

Then I went to dinner with another one of my oldest friends, but in age. She's older than me, but we've never really talked about age- I;m sure I should know, but its never really been a concern.  We met while teaching at Spratley- my 2nd year teaching, her first.  Our classes were right next door to eachother and we had those rooms that shared a storage room and sink area so we became close quickly.   We've only taught together that year- its been about 2 years, and we've kept in touch and still meet yp for dinner and she came to Jake's baptism and first birthday party and stuff, so yeah....

Anyways, its been a while since Ive had friend time so it was awesome to finally have it.    I def need to do it more often.   YAY for friends!
