Today was a very fun day for me. It was diffidently a girls day. I went to Robin's daughters baby shower and enjoyed seeing my wonderful friends there. It was also fun meeting Robin's daughter, Jamiee, since I haven't ever met her in person. I love my friends and their families and feel very blessed to be included in their friendship. What a blessing they all are to me!
Since our get together didn't work out a few weeks ago we took advantage of this day to let Gina know how dear she is to all of us. Gina waited until the showering of Jamiee was complete before peeking at her gifts. Davaleen had a blanket with lots of our pictures on it and Kathy made a cute sign for Gina. Both gifts were from all of us. Gina is fighting Cancer and not giving up. She continues to have more cancer grow in her and she just continues to fight it with whatever treatment the Doctors are willing to do. Gina is amazing and completely beautiful inside and out. She has such a positive attitude and belief in God that is shares with everyone. I love her so much and admire her like in every way. All these women love and accept me for who I am and they all inspire me to be better.
That shower was from 12:00-2:00 and then I had a Bridal Shower for Kyle's finance, Shelby from 2:00-4:00. It was fun seeing some extended family and visiting with them. I love my extended family. I know Tami's family on her side really well too and love them all as well and it was fun seeing them also. I really like the newest Shelby. She started talking to me and wasn't shy and I will say that meant a lot to me and immediately stole a part of my heart. She is such a cutie and I'm glad that Kyle found her. I love Kyle....he's always had a special place in my heart.
I was able to go home for a few minutes and say Hello to my family and then I was off again to meet some High School buddies for dinner. We threw this dinner together since Nanette came into town. I haven't seen Nanette since High School and so it was nice seeing her. She hasn't changed much as far as looks but of course experienced lots like we all have. I also learned that her brother Don was my neighbor for years. Funny how that came out and I had never thought that Don Amidan might be Nanette Amidan's brother. It's always interesting to me the thinks I learn as life goes on.
I love reuniting with friends and acquaintances from years ago. It's just so fun seeing where everyone is in life and how they have dealt with their "stuff". It's nice to know that friends are forever!
