Cher and I have been friends for eight years, and LOADED years they’ve been! If you have followed long enough, you might remember that she and I connected after I lost our baby at 16.5 weeks of pregnancy. She messaged me on a whim (if you can call a nudge from God a whim) and offered to take pictures of me to kind of commemorate that pregnancy.
Since that first hang, she has stuck around through countless events, some of which were awesome and many of which were hugely challenging. I could list them all, but its not necessary. You all know. She and I have both had FULL, BUSY lives in the last eight years. We came to one another at pretty chaotic times in both cases, and it turns out that was perfect timing because we really needed best friends 💜 Thank you LORD!!!
Last night, we went to Smiley’s for bottomless yummy food and some excellent people watching. We were seating in what seemed like a banquet hall being used as overflow seating. We had an eight person table to ourselves, and we sat with our backs against a wall and just watched and giggled and enjoyed our time.
And our food.
And the weird interesting people. 😏
Post supper, we dragged our sorry, overfed butts out to the van and ran an errand or two. Dollarama was hopping, and we were SO here for it. I got a pot for a plant…
And we scoped the Halloween stuff for ghosts 👻
And no one even harassed me! 🤨
We had gifts for one another, and opened them in the parking lot. She gifted me beautiful things, a bag full of cute ghostly things and a fantastic book than any and all lovers of Wicked should own. It was a really special time to be together. Especially considering, while we do see each other often, its usually based around work at the house and taking care of the babies. So actually going out on purpose and not working is rare, and precious 💜
As are you, sweet Cherice 💜 Rare, and precious.
I love you a lot. A YACHT. Too much, almost. 😋
Thanks for sticking with me, and all of us, through aaaaall the wild things. All the kid stuff. All the medical stuff. All the emotional stuff. Its messy over here, and while I know you love us, its not lost on me that we are, indeed, a LOT. So thank you. I love you. And I’m super grateful for you 💜
Me and you, girly. Always us.
😘🐺💜💚🧡
