My Week

Tiffany complained that I don't update often enough. I'll try to do better, but no promises. BTW this is Lorraine again.

You already know we were in Florida this month. We've been thinking and speaking of my long-time friend Cheri who lives in the Orlando area with her husband, 5 kids, and menagerie. Cheri and I have been good friends since 1973. Yes we're old. We met the first day of 9th grade and have been friends ever since, even though years often pass between visits. My most recent visit with Cheri was last summer when she came here to bring her 2nd son to the M.T.C. Anyhow, Cheri called me on Tuesday because she had been thinking of me :-). Her oldest son was in Utah last week. We had a very fun conversation for an hour and 10 minutes. TGI unlimited cell phone time!

Today, I had lunch with another friend I hadn't visited with for 2 years. We met at a restaurant and talked long after we were done with our meals. We outlasted the "lunch" crowd and were the only ones there (that don't work there) by the time we separated. We talked about kids, church, books, work.....
How thankful I am for people who care about me, and enjoy things I enjoy, and are interesting and interested. I have all of that with my sweetheart of course, but I'm definitely a girly girl and need friend connections as well.

Hurray for girl time! I know just what you mean. I have a couple of friends who I'm pretty sure I could talk with for a full 24 hours straight and not run out of things to say. They are rare, but oh so precious.
