A long awaited visit

I have been a bit busy since my last post. Raine was getting out of school, had field day and game day to attend , working with her on her math all summer etc. Although it's summer, we've only gone to the beach once and really haven't had good weather all this time either. Sort of ruins summer for kids and adults huh. But with everything else going on, I received an invitation from my friend that I haven't seen since 7th grade. I knew she was sending me one for her baby shower but the waiting and anticipation was killing me lol. Just knowing I was going to get to see her finally after all these years and spending the past 10 of those years searching for her, and her probably looking for me, the day had finally come! Saturday I was up and ready to go way before the kids even got up lol. All the way there Raine kept asking me questions about who she was and of course how much longer will it take to get there:)

I pull up in a complex that I grew up in , the pool hadn't changed , only the buildings but once I was there I knew where I was going. It was funny , when I walked up to the door a guy was standing there... I asked him if he was Tina's husband and he imediately knew who I was lol. Tina had been talking about me coming to her shower and hoping I would show. I think her husband was just as excited as Tina and I were at our reunion so he told her I was there and her reaction was a huge smile and hugs lol. After 15yrs she still looks the same, it was like no time had passed. I haven't had a hug like that in so long. Tina was too funny trying to tell Raine how we met and when and since Raine is going into 4th grade this could be the time she meets a friend for life. Now that Tina is only in Wisconsin we can see each other as often as our schedules and lives allow us to lol. I can't wait until I see her again and can catch up !
