Old Friends are the Greatest!

I love old friends. They’re the greatest.
In this case I am talking about OLD friends, like used to swim in our diapers in the plastic turtle pool in our backyards together old!
Sometimes friendships frizzle and break, or just slowly disappear. You grow up and while maybe when you used to jump rope together in your pink sparkly sneakers you two were two peas in a pod, over the years things change, people move away and people change.
In this case, we have the dreamiest of all situations.
When we were kids, we ‘learnt’ to get along even though we were always fighting like sisters and hated each other. We would pull each other’s hair and punch or kick each other (while my friend reads this she says “no we didn’t" well I clearly recall this time in the mall I am not too fond of,lol). She moved away, I moved away. We grew up. We saw each other once a year when our families would get together. We’d email and sometimes chat online but she was always there and I was always there.
All grown up, we are buying houses and getting married and making babies and while you would think time would make for difference, as we get older we get along better and I love this. I got married and so happy to announce it, so happy to invite her, so happy to wait for her rsvp telling me she was coming, we have rekindled our friendship 20 years later with less hair pulling and more lovin’!
While Christine, an old friend, and her wonderful partner in crime Randy, a new friend, we (Ricardo & I) adore you guys.

Thank you for making the long drive down to have brunch with us!
Thank you for making me happy and being so excited for jelly bean and lovin’ baby before you’ve even met!
Thank you for being both so funny and giving us a good laugh!
Thank you for your awesome gift. It is original, unique and funky. I love it!
Thank you for being you and for being my oldest friend!
Thank you for being awesome and a wonderful new friend who will hopefully one day become an old friend!

Cheers,
2 Friends & Friendships
