We had a great time in Flagstaff, did a little hiking, went out to dinner, it was a lovely anniversary. We bought a freezer- I know, it's pretty romantic! Our old freezer has been a problem for a while, and when things started thawing out again, enough is enough. I lost a bunch of meat last year, and don't want that to happen again. This time we bought a big chest freezer with dividers and baskets, so we can separate food items and hopefully keep track of everything better.
Tuesday was our actual anniversary, and our old friend Laurie dropped by on her way home from Kansas. She spent 6 weeks visiting family in Wichita, and stopped in on the way back to southern Arizona, so we were thrilled that she spent the night with us. We haven't seen each other in 4 years! Laurie married David's cousin Wayne a few months after our wedding, and we all lived in Phoenix for a couple years, and became good friends. We have 3 kids the same age. She is one of my favorite people, we don't see each other for years sometimes, but we can just pick up where we left off. I've always valued my friends, but the older I get, the more precious they become.
Speaking of friends, I had lunch with Jenny today- we meet for lunch a couple times a month. We worked together in probation for several years, and have maintained our friendship. I appreciate her so much, it's hard to explain. Leaving my job was so hard, most of the friends I'd made here were from work, but it's made it so much easier, knowing I still have friends there, and I can drop by the office and still be welcome. I don't want to name them all here, but I hope you know who you are.
OK, since I'm being mushy, I'd like to acknowledge all my family and friends, each of you make my life so full and joyful, thank you! Life can be counted successful because of the friends and loved ones we have, I think, and my life is very rich indeed.
