One is silver and the other gold
Do you remember that song from girl scouts? Make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold.
I found a dear friend that I lost track of a couple years ago. We met when I was 19. We were friends when she got engaged and married and when I found out I was expecting my first son. She told me she was expecting her first child the day Zech was born. They were nine months apart and when I stayed home and she went back to work, I watched her daughter. Zech and M were nine months apart and M called me Nanny. I loved that little girl. The years went by and we both continued to build our family. I had Jake, she had H and then when I was pregnant with Eli, I stopped babysitting but our friendship was still as strong as ever.
However, they relocated to Columbus around the time I was pregnant with Baila and she went on to have another baby too. Seven kids, many miles and life got in the way but after my divorce when I was barely managing my day to day life, it became even more difficult to keep up with those that were so far away. I went to Columbus with another friend to visit about 5 years ago and that was our last visit. Finally, we both moved and changed numbers and addresses and lost each other.
This past week, baby M (who is now almost 16!!!!) found me on Facebook and I have been laughing and crying and catching up ever since. I can't believe I let life get in the way of a 17 year friendship! I can't believe how much I missed and how much both of us have been through the last couple of years. I can't even wrap my brain around all the twists and turns and changes and pain and joy that life has brought and I can't believe we are SO OLD to have children who are almost driving!
At any rate, I am so happy to have "found" my dear friend again, I grieve that I wasn't around when she probably really needed me and I wish she didn't live so far away but that's ok. I'll take what I can get.
Also, I am thankful to Al Gore for inventing the internets. I met my husband, found my dog and now reconnected with a dear friend all because of the magic of the internet! You should try it, this thing might really catch on!

Looking back
It's hard to believe that another year has past and here we are in 2009. Since I am the sentimental type, I like to reflect on the prior year.
In 2008 we became closer as a family. Nothing was new anymore and we all found ourselves settled into our lives here in Michigan.
The kids ended and began a new school year and everyone grew a ton, especially Jake. Baila became very involved in dance, Jake tried track and Eli played two seasons of soccer. Zech has been through some tough times this year but I think he has learned some tough lessons and has grown quite a bit. I think there is nothing but good things ahead for him.
I started a new job in February that I was excited about but unfortunately found myself unemployed in July. I spent some time off with the kids in the summer and then ended up with the best job ever in August. I feel like I finally found my perfect job here in Michigan! I also spent quite a bit of time learning more about my camera and having fun with photography.
We celebrated many birthdays and holidays together and ate countless meals around out kitchen table. We tried to stay connected to our family far and near in the midst of our busyness.
Monte and I made it to Florida and went away for our anniversary and made sure to spend time together without the kids as well, we are still newlyweds and we make sure to not let life get in the way of our relationship. We are the best of friends and I still feel very blessed to have the most amazing husband ever.
So, we have laughed and cried and faced some tough times and had a lot of fun and all in all we had a busy and wonderfully normal year and I can't wait to see what 2009 has in store for us! I guess I'm just an optimistic sap!
