Day 143 Thursday Jan 12

So many happy memories on this thursday!  I visited so many great friends and had so much fun being WITHOUT my children.  Sometimes absence makes the heart grow fonder, and that was the case after being home sick with them all week!

• First off, I visited with my dear friends and former co-workers at the old Elementary school where I worked back in the day.  They are truly some of the most wonderful women on the planet and are certainly some of the most down to earth, without wordly pride, hard working people I know!  We had fun chatting and catching up and I loved showing them pictures of the boys.  I miss those ladies, but I am so glad we got a chance to visit!
• After my visit at my old work, I was off to lunch with one of my favorite people and dear friend, Lynn.  We spent over two HOURS chatting at a table at a sandwich shop that was a favorite place of mine back in my early working days.  It was so nice to catch up with my friend and laugh...such a happy moment!
• After my lunch happy moment, I drove down the freeway to visit my husband at his work.  I haven't visited there in a couple of YEARS now so it was nice to see all of the changes he made in his office and catch up with him during the day.  There is this show called the Big Bang Theory  that is all about physicists and what they do.  The more we watch it, the more David and I BOTH realize how alike the show is to him and other physicists in real life!  He was working on a lot of things that look just like what the guys on the show work on and write on their white boards at home.  I am so proud of my smart PhD hubby!  He worked SO hard this week helping others and putting in 12.5 hour days....he is such a good example to our sons!  I had to stop over at my Grandmother's old house to check on something and visit with my great-aunt.  After that, I called David at work and asked him if he wanted to do dinner, and that's what happy moment came next!
• We did dinner at Downtown Disney and saw a movie there as well.  It was a GREAT impromptu date night and it took us back to the old days of us living in our tiny apartment in Anaheim and doing downtown Disney for our dates.  We had SO much fun there today that we decided to bring the boys back and visit Disneyland (Connor's first time) and stay the night and do California Adventure the next day...happy moments from that coming soon!

So today was a busy day but one filled with joy and blessings from the many people in my life!  I am so thankful for good friends who care about me and have been there for me so much these past few months!  Happy to be that likable :)
