Night and Day

While we were in Nederland we saw our dear friends Jeremy and Leeza. We have been friends with them for a long time. It is always so good to see them. We can not talk for weeks or even months (don't think we have ever done that) and we don't seem to miss a beat. After they left I got to thinking about the different paths we have taken. Hubs and I with the 3 kids and Jeremy and Leeza with no kids. As I was putting the kids to sleep I was thinking about the distinct differences in our chosen lifestyles.

Them--They went out for a nice dinner...
Us--Nice, I haven't had dinner and I'm wearing the kids' dinner.

Them--Time to dedicate to exercise and diet (which I have to say they both look amazing!!)
Us--Eat while holding an 8 lb baby-bel and doing the bouncing walk (does that count for strengthening our core?)

Them--Bright eyed and bushy tailed
Us--Puffy eyed and draggin tail

Them--Nice clean freshly pressed clothes
Us--Freshly spit up on clothes

Them--Getting lei-ed in Hawaii this summer
Us--Got laid and had a baby this summer

Our paths have gone different ways but that doesn't mean they have gone separate ways. I think they are more like parallel paths. At any given time we can look over at each other and sneak a peek at the other life. And we can appreciate each other and our friendship.
