Friends

New Friends: Kagen. Francis' new friend. :) He has been skydiving in scuba gear. yes please.
Truth confirmed: Service often takes place in the form of TIME. Time with dear friends.

Last night my dear friend, Jess took me to a house concert for Mindy Gledhill. I realized I still have unwritten music within the acoustic chambers of my heart. There are so many ways to express ourselves...I need to encourage the melodic urges to fly! Desires need to be nurtured...let the notes ring out, wild bells.

On the way home, I exited on 6200 to see my friend...no text response, so I grabbed a card from my purse (I try to make it a habit to carry notecards with me so I can always write a classy quick thank you note or "i'm thinking of you" note.) and wrote a quick note. I didn't know which was her car, so I walked up to the door, yes, at 11:31 pm. To me, the night was young...however, I didn't want to impose that perspective on my unassuming friend or her roommates. I heard voices, so I knocked. And lo and behold, BRITTANY answered. HOORAY. I ended up sleeping over, and we awoke to magic. Snow falling gently in the frosty air. She kept thanking me for sleeping over..really, it was MY pleasure! It is becoming tradition that when I sleepover I wear the "celtic women" concert night t-shirt. I love spontaneous rendezvous' and sleepovers.

Then after work, I went to dinner with two dear friends from work. My first experience at Nicolita's pizza on university parkway. Mmmm. Yes, thank you. Such uplifting conversation..

Now off to my summer Nauvoo pageant roommate's bridal shower. It was in draper, and she couldn't thank us enough for coming and making the effort. I love spending time with sweet friends. I am blessed with friends who are dreamers...doers...lovers...(in this case, "lovers"=charity, and the Lover of God"...;)
....So, here we go...
