Keeping in touch

I learned a lot this past year through what our family has gone through and one of the most important things is that life is so short. It is important not to waste any time. I am so excited today since I am playing hooky (shhh) am going to go and have lunch with a group of people that I use to work with. We had so much fun we worked together. Some of these people I have known for 12+years - they knew me when I was a baby :). And it is always so hard for us to get together since everyone is working and since I told them I was playing hooky we are able to get together today - I can not wait.

I was amazed at dad's funeral how many people came back into our lives. I remember these people that mom and dad use to hang out with - my gosh we were so little back then, and I know through the years you get a different group of friends, or you just simply loose touch, but it was so moving to see these people pay their respects and just know that they were still friends. It's a New Year, New You with Facebook and all of the technology out there it is so easy to keep in touch with a lost friend. So look one up today - a simple Hi goes a long way. And it is always wonderful to catch up.

Tonight I am going out with a group of girls and guys and we are going to listen to a band. I use to go and listen to bands all of the time. And this band is a great party band so I am excited to be out tonight. Little nervous though, we are having Cary who is 14 babysit for us for the first time. He is spending the night and I think he is excited to have this responsibility. He told me he would have Brayden show him how to change Logan's diaper :).........

Lots to do today, I know - but it's my birthday and I have always had bad ones and this year I am going to do my best to make it an okay day. So I'll let you know in the morning how that goes.....

Oh goodness - dad make sure you are watching over them tonight LOL

Much love to all,
