Fast Friends

Have you ever made a friend in about five minutes that becomes such a good close friend that you can pick up where you left off after a long time - like seven years?  After you've both had two new jobs, both gotten married, one had kids and still just one day meet up again and are just as close as you were?

Lucky for me Lisa is one of those friends.  We bonded over a drug test for our first job (when instead of peeing in a cup like any normal drug test they cut our hair - like a huge chunk down at the roots). Finding each other's bald spot and assuring one another you really couldn't see it was what started a beautiful friendship.  Randomly after 7 years fate brought us both to Ohio on a weekend in September less than 2 hours away and we met up again.  Little E loved her as much as I do immediately (kid is a good judge of character like his grand pops I guess).  

And after our fun weekend visit in Ohio we decided if we had the chance we would meet up again (not in another 7 years).  Well shortly after Lisa had a chance to come to Greenville (a few hours away) w her husband and they came and stayed for the weekend.  It was great to get to meet Carlos and for Eric to spend time with them too.  Little e LOVED Carlos.  I mean adored him.  Wanted to sit in his lap and have him hold him all the time.  It was so precious.

We really had a great time with them all weekend and maybe we'll get to Texas sometime or if they move to Ohio we'll get a chance to see them when we come home for visits.  Really great friends are super precious and I'm very thankful for the special fun weekends we got to spend with Lisa and Carlos recently.
