while i didn't get a chance to post this yesterday, it was on my mind. i spent most of the day with my best friend ash and it reminded me of how thankful i am for her friendship and presence in my life. we have been friends since high school, and i treasure how she has remained in my life. yesterday was her last day of summer vacation before returning to her job as teacher, and in a way, it was our last summer day as childless friends. next summer, and for the rest of our summer days, we will have kids in tow, with sunscreen and toys and nap schedules lingering over us. i'm excited about that, but it was a day of being grateful for what has been, and anticipating what is to come. i am so excited for ash. she is going to make a killer mom. i'm grateful to be her friend in the process of her pregnancy, as it has given me a chance to think about things that i wouldn't have without such an up close perspective. last night, we sat around the dinner table with our husbands and were discussing topics such as schooling and what not, and i was reminded of how grateful i am to have someone (besides nathan of course) to really talk through things with. ash has been that person for a while- even back in high school, the way we would study for tests is i would talk through all the material with her, and in doing so, reinforce what i know while also allowing her to hear it one more time to cement it in her mind. i am thankful for a friend that i can talk through anything with- and thankful that she can summarize it at the end and succinctly tell me what i was trying to get out. i am so thankful for ash.
