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...

life with izzie b

so i'm out of town right now and this time with my friend izzie b (names have been changed to protect the people we know). we are actually at a conference that is rocking my world, but we are two crazy girls alone in a big city. anyways.....she is a weird person. she likes car rides and she likes to watch the sunrise while riding in the car so we started our trip at 5:30 AM!!! 5:30 AM friends...ugh. but we had a non-eventful trip and honestly it wasn't so bad. i'm weird so i had packed us ham and cheese sandwichs. we stopped several times to get out and walk. we stopped for gas somewhere a bit redneck and they sold mostly fireworks. lots and lots of fireworks. that place also had some kind of super duper blue light hand dryer. it was honestly a bit freaky. then we checked in and found we had a smoking room. it was quite smoky and so we asked for a change. no luck, but the nice lady offered to bring up an odor remover machine while we were at the conference. um....
