It’s funny because if we still lived in Savannah, I would be able to enjoy the company of good friends whenever I wanted. I would be able to call them up on any random day and say “let’s meet up for dinner.” I would be able to spend any weekend afternoon at the park with them or brave the mall with babies in tow. As much as I would love to be able to do those things, one thing living several hours away has done is require SLEEP OVERS!
I have always loved having friends stay over my house. My mom spoiled me by letting me have anywhere from 5 to 12 pre-teen/teen girls keep her awake with our giggles and screams and New Kids on the Block song renditions (choreographed dances included). Now that I’m older, the sleep overs have changed – we sure don’t stay up very late (1 am was insane!), we are now legally allowed to drink as much alcohol as we dare to, our conversations are about kids and money instead of which boy is cute and clothes/hair/weight – oh wait I’m wrong about that last one – weight is still a topic – but anyway – some things never change – like the comfort and security and sanity that good friends provide.
I loved getting to spend so much time with Ginger, Lee and Cami last weekend. We didn’t even have to do anything and it was fun. Watching the kids play – fun. Sitting on the couch and chillin’ (often with laptops) – fun. Heading out to Winder’s Fall Festival without knowing if it would be lame or not – fun (actually lots of fun). It was just so awesome getting my “friend fix” for 4 days straight and being able to celebrate Ginger’s birthday with her. I can only hope that we always try to do our best to share as many special events as we can together. After all, Ginger was part of one of the most special events in my life (Nia’s birth) and it just feels so natural to have our families grow up together. (And maybe even be able to watch our girls share more sleep overs!)
So Comfy
