I love my friends

The weekend after Easter, a very dear friend of ours visited from a land far, far away. We call this land Colorado.

Anyway, I've been thinking about what I want to say regarding this visit for some time. You know what was so awesome about it? We didn't do anything exciting. We hung out, ate some spaghetti, and just visited. It was great to laugh with her and just do nothing.

We don't get the chance to do that as often as we should anymore. We're too busy. Or everything has to be planned. Why can't we just do something off the cuff and be spontaneous once in a while?

Now granted, we knew she was coming. But we just wanted to spend time with her, find out about her new life in Colorado, and fill her in on our lives here. So rather than fill our time with her with something to do, we just sat down in the living room and had one of the best afternoons we've had in a long time.

I understand that sometimes we need to plan for things. You can't spend your entire life going from thing to thing with no idea of what's going to happen next. Some areas of your life must be planned out. I'm just saying that a full calendar doesn't mean a full life.

Awww, I love you guys. I've been formulating my blog post about you, and, like you, it's hard to write because, seriously, it meant so much to me. And that was way to many phrases set off by commas. But, whatever!

You guys are great. I miss you!
