I was searching for a specific picture in my files this morning and came across a picture of Ethan and Madison as babies and was flooded with the great memories and times we have had with the Bedke's. I am grateful for the friend Mary-Anne has been to me. She is an amazing person and someone I'm happy to call my best friend. They will be leaving to San Francisco to start a new adventure very soon. I'm happy for them and this big step in their lives but I'm sad she will be leaving Irvine. I will never forget the late night talks we have had, the beach days, babysitting swaps, kids birthday parties, walks around UCI as people thought we were crazy with so many children, getting our nails done, swimming, many target and costco runs, many many park days, and really anything either one of us wanted to do we made it an outing and did it together. I've missed that this year as we have been in LA but everytime we go down to Tustin we always make a stop to see the Bedke's. I am so grateful for our friendship, for how real it is and how I can totally be myself and she the same. I can walk into her house and help myself to food. I love the way we know each other's kids so well and can take over in a minute's time if needed. We can talk to each other like no other and get side tracked constantly!! We start one story and in a minute we are already onto the next without finishing the first. If I call her with a question I have to ask her right away or the question never gets asked or answered while we spend an hour on the phone. I know that though we will be further apart our friendship will never fade. Friendships like ours are rare and don't come around that often. Tomorrow is not a good-bye...just a see you later.
