"Is this your sister Dana?" Close. My cousin, my friend.
"Are you Mommy's sister Auntie Anna? Because you talk like my Mommy." Close. Mommy's cousin. Mommy's friend.
We...
- Went to Cabela's, my first time ever!
- Stayed up waaaaaaay too late every night talking and watching movies.
- Laughed in the kitchen at 11:30 at night cooking for Easter Dinner.
- Drank 1-2 cups of coffee after 10:00 p.m. nightly and still managed to sleep soundly.
- Watched Audrey Hepburn. Classy is the word.
- Plotted various ways to convince each other to move.
- Laughed. A lot.
- Found out Dana is left handed. (well, she already knew)
- Found out Dana likes creamy peanut butter.
- Painted our nails.
- Played cameras, photoshop and blogworld.
- Played piano. That girl can play. Man! I am all about the broken chords now.
- Discussed what is wrong with Channing. As in Tatum. Dana says his eyes are not the same size. I think its his ears. They're too small for his head. But there is definitely something off. (discussion stemming from watching "The Eagle" with AJ)
- Remembered childhood.
- Did you know Dana is an ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmazing cook?! I gained 7ish pounds.
- Painted Easter eggs.
- Had Easter dinner with AJ's fam. I love borrowing families. Even though mine is terrific.
- Flew kites. Sort of.
- Jumped on the trampoline.
- Picked flowers.
- Prayed.
- Discussed the Bible and God's goodness. (The depth of a friendship that has become acquainted with adversity is unmeasurable)
- Discussed my pitiful attempts at finding Mr. Right. Stinkin' girliness, I need to learn to reign my heart in. I seriously am defective at dating.
- Understand each other. Childhood was a selfish time of friendship. I liked her because it was convenient and she had cool Barbies. She liked me because... well, I'm not sure why. :-) This season of life is so different. Hymns make me cry. She gets that. Playing the piano stirs her soul as if God himself is gently tugging on it. I get that. Our family is really special. We get that. God is good in everything, has a beautiful plan in everything. We get that.
- Shopped.
- Discovered that our precious little Grandma made each of us a bonnet girl quilt (one of our favorite childhood possessions) when we were young.
- Hated to say goodbye.
- Made plans to meet again. 6 hours. Pff. I'll be back!
:-)
Ah. It's almost as fun just to remember. SO FUN! :)
ReplyDeleteFYI. I liked you because you had Pretty Pretty Princess, horses, and your mom always packed awesome things to trade at lunchtime.
Ah yes, the horses. I feel bad about that to this day, I was such a brat always making you ride behind the saddle.
ReplyDeleteKristy and I actually had a really good laugh tonight remembering trailing cows. One time, when we were like 6, you yelled "Yah! Yah! Yah! Yah! Yah! Yah!...." for an entire day without ceasing. I had forgotten, Kristy reminded me. My cool thing was to yell "Hoooooo-oooo Hut!"
Grandpa used to call out "Come Boss." Remember?
