Fantastic Thursday

Last Thursday I was able to meet up with my very dear friend, Allison. For the last three years we've had the pleasure of living within a couple of hours drive from each other. While we haven't seen as much of each other as we'd like, we have had more chances to meet up than we did before. While Allison was in town for the week, we were able to meet up for a fancy cup of hot cocoa at a local Starbucks, and had a good two and a half hour chat. We could have easily talked the entire day away!

Allison and I go back to sixth grade band class, where we both played the flute. That was just the beginning of a friendship that has come to mean so much to me. Allison and her husband, Pedro, are getting ready to welcome a little boy into their life. She is due in a few months and is one of the cutest, soon-to-be-mamas that I've ever seen. I forgot to get a picture of her when we met up, so here's a picture from last summer when we got together with our little group of girlfriends for a 10-year high school reunion.

Thanks, Allison, for the hot cocoa and for the warmth of your friendship! You are a jewel!
