the best friend

i'm sure you all have that friend out there that no matter how far apart you are and how little you see each other there is always a connection!?!?!?

today was my day to see my best friend from college. i still refer to her as my best friend even though we see each other once a year now. she lives in sunny california but travels to lafayette every february to a conference at my sisters church. it has become tradition for me to venture south for a long lunch with her!

after rearranging child care i don't know how many times and forgetting the ice cream for preschool today, i finally headed out. i visited my sister for about an hour and then drove to the church to get my bf! we sat at a cracker barrel and talked for over 3 hours! just a great time of chatting and catching up and laughing about our pasts!

it is always a joy to be around her....she once thought i was nuts and i once thought she was too girly perfect, but once we looked beyond those we found life long friends that have shared tears, trials, laughs, and way too many odd moments!! today was just peaceful...nothing crazy, just two old friends sharing the past year together. i loved it....

cherish those friendships - i really feel like we are blessed with lots of friends, but only a few that really capture a part of our hearts forever. i love ya friend....

Sweet friend,
Thank you for the very sweet note and great time at lunch. It was a great joy to be able to catch up over a great lunch! I do remember our first "impressions" and am thankful God took us past that to a great friendship that has lasted to through the years. I hope we can meet more often in the future, but am thankful for the times none the less! love ya, brooke

me, on politics

i despise politics. i never liked it, but i married a man fascinated with it. a man who wanted to be part of it all...and was, briefly. boy were our eyes opened... anyways...it seems like this election has several hot button topics. one of which is universal healthcare. my cousin started a blog called politics for mom and there have been several heated debates going on. i was reading several comments on healthcare. and frankly i was bothered! now, i don't know that a strict universal healthcare is the answer, but i do know that we have now doesn't work for the average person. here is our story.... hubby worked in a small business - 3 employees at the most that i can remember. we paid 1/2 our insurance..until it came to the point where our half each month was twice what we would pay if we were on our own. but for the owner it saved him money. so he agreed to cover ours in full. we were very grateful. i also know at times, that because of the healthcare cost, it was a struggle f...

from the kitchen...

chicken bruschetta bake if you know me, you know my great distaste of tomatoes. i usually pick the tomato chunks out of my sgetti sauce. yes i just called it sgetti!! i eat all the chunks of my salsa, except the tomatoes. but over the past few years i've gotten a bit brave and will eat small pieces of tomatoes in fresh salsa and in this dish as well. i hadn't fixed this in probably over a year. but a few weeks ago i pulled out my recipe file to find some old favorites. i found this and realized i had everything in the pantry. that's a deal!!!!! i did have to switch out the diced tomatoes because my can was crushed instead. i prefer the diced but this worked just as well. the kids loved the chicken, but not so much the topping. this was great as leftovers, too. i ate it for lunch the following two days. 1 can. (12.5oz) diced tomatoes, undrained 1 pkg. stove top stuffing mix for chicken (i use aldi brand) 1/2 cup water 2 cloves garlic, minced 1.5 pounds skinless...

they're here!!!!

this is not how i left my house this morning. in fact, i wanted to take a picture of kitchen set-up #2. it was really quite a nice set-up my hubby did! very functional and i was pleased. but i came home this afternoon to my kitchen being moved to the dining room and boxes everywhere!!!!!!! as you can see....the cabinets are in and some are going up RIGHT NOW!!! isn't she pretty? i can turn each shelf by itself. look there are four drawers in the picture. i am used to only 1 drawer....what will i ever do with so many drawers? see those boxes above....i think i'll be able to start putting them away - maybe even tonight, although with idol, the olympics, and a very important mom's morning talk to prepare the box emptying may just have to wait! if you look closely you can find the red trim paint we sampled....i can't wait for the full effect ahh.....did i mention the countertops won't be installed until the 27th at the earliest and that i'm not without a kitchen ...
