Dream Dinners Reunion

I used to work at a place called Dream Dinners. I worked with a bunch of great women. We really had fun and it was probably my favorite job up to that point. It's been over a year since I've seen most of these girls and today we met at a buffet and caught up on our lives. A great big SHOUT OUT to all of my Dream Dinners buddies. It was fun seeing everyone. So much has changed in the last year, and yet it seemed like no time at all has passed. Someone suggested we get together once a year - girls, that's way too long between visits. I say we do this 3 or 4 times a year!

As I drove home this afternoon, I thought about the different groups of friends that I have - those I've known forever and kept in touch with, and I'm so grateful for good friendships. There is the group of high school friends that Rick and I get together with every quarter (Hi, Morrells, Klunks and Hogans!), our best friends that we go on dates with (that's you, Spears and Larsens), my bookclub friends (Hi girls), the group of missionary moms that I keep in touch with through email (Go MMJapan!), my Cherish Bound friends, who've come to mean so much to me (Find, Capture and Share!), and of course, all of those people we've met all over the country through our travels (thanks to Facebook, we are connecting again). Friendships are so important to me. I'm the one in a group that tries to stay in touch - I hate losing touch of people that I love. I'm one of those people who sends out 5 tons of Christmas cards every year, even though I only get about 1 ton back. I'm just afraid that I'll lose touch with someone.

I believe friendships are essential in our lives. Friendships make our lives meaningful. I hope I'm as good of a friend as those in my life. Abraham Lincoln once said: "The better part of one's life consists of his friendships." To all of my friends... one of the BEST parts of my life - mmmmwwwwaaaaaaa! Love ya'll!

Kara,
Lunch yesterday was great. And you are right, we need to get together more than once each year. You look wonderful. Thank you for being one of my cherished friends.
