A Marvelous Day

Yesterday was spent with a very good friend of mine. As in, we've been friends for years. We've been through a lot and continue to go through it all. We don't get to spend that much time together due to my very busy life, but I love getting together with her. And now she has a little guy who has won my heart. (all he did was smile!)
Last summer we promised each other that we'd go out for sushi once Linc was born. He's four and half months old now, and we finally had to set a day to do it before I leave. We also drank coffee, perused old books, prowled through a home stylin' store, and talked about how we felt like impostors acting all grown up and stuff with a baby and everything. And so we made sushi. We got all the ingredients to make sushi. After I got there, we decided to go out for it, and then make some for supper. Sushi twice in one day? Why not?
As we walked briskly (it was cold!) to the coffee shop, we paused for a picture. The first one looked like we didn't like each other so this one quickly followed. She had no idea what I was doing.

By the third one, we look a bit cheesy. But hey. This is us. And it was a fun moment to have captured. Just ignore Linc's non-enthused face. He really did like me, and enjoyed the day filled with sushi and girls.

We're already looking forward and planning the day we can do this again....two years from now.
